Bialetti Moka Express Filter & Gasket Set, the genuine fix for a tired 2-cup moka. One filter plate and three rubber gaskets, exactly what Bialetti puts in the box for this size.

Overview

Every moka pot eventually needs a new seal. The rubber gasket compresses a little more each time it's used, and once it's worn the pot leaks steam instead of pushing coffee through. This is the official Bialetti replacement kit sized for the 2-cup Moka Express, so the fit is exact, no trimming or guessing.

Key features

• Complete kit: 1 filter plate and 3 rubber gaskets, enough for several replacements.
• Exact fit: made specifically for the 2-cup aluminium Moka Express.

How to use

Unscrew the pot and lift out the old filter plate and gasket from the funnel. Fit a new gasket around the rim of the filter plate and set it back into the funnel. Reassemble and brew as usual. Swap the gasket every few months of regular use, sooner if you notice steam escaping from the sides instead of coffee coming up through the spout.

Why we love it

It's not glamorous, but a cheap gasket is a lot cheaper than a new moka pot, and it takes about thirty seconds to swap.
