Stovetop Espresso Maker Replacement Silicone 6 Cup Size Gasket Seals and Filter Screen for Easyworkz Moka Pot

I love the Moka Express, but the gasket that comes with it is a white rubber that hardens and fails quickly (less than 25 uses). Also, the original upper screen is thinner than the recess it sits in, so the seal has to be perfect or the result is a sputtering, over extracted mess. This product solves both problems, but needs a tiny bit of assistance up front. First, the gasket has a slightly smaller ID than the original screen, so it's not a great fit there. However, the replacement screen fits the replacement gasket perfectly. But, the new screen is just a hair too big to fit in the recess--this actually ends up being a good thing. I spent about 5 minutes on a 400 grit diamond stone gradually reducing the OD of the new screen (like lapping in a valve, but on the edge of the screen), and eventually got a perfect fit--the new screen sits in the recess with no gap around it, and it is thicker than the original one so it is perfectly level with the aluminum body around it. This make the silicon gasket seal flawlessly also. I know it sounds like a lot, but it truly was just a few minutes to make a perfect seal and the coffee now flows quietly and steadily out, like it should. The only other note--it's not easy to remove this seal (which is good), so if you like to remove the screen and seal every time, you may want to have a bamboo skewer on hand to pull the gasket. Otherwise, a good rinse with hot water is enough. For me, this product has unlocked the true potential of the Bialetti, and should be provided with the unit originally.

Works as described, fits perfectly, use it for about two months for now, still looks good

Muy buena calidad y a la medida.

Fits my Bialetti 4 cup moka and easy to install.The seal is thicker than the original so has been very tight while still hot but once cools down it is easy to unscrew.I recommend using with no coffee 3-4 times and then once with coffee to remove any metallic flavour. After this the coffee flavour has been good.

Ce joint n'est pas aussi efficace que celui de première monte.Dommage...
