Gasket Problem with 9-cup Bialetti Expresso (Moka) Maker Does anyone have a solution for the rather small size of the 9-cup Bialetti Expresso Maker gasket? I have replaced the new one that came with the machine and am still having problems. I had heard that the 9-cup gasket doesn't work as well as those on the smaller expresso makers. It needs to be slightly larger to stay in place and create a seal. Thanks!

Update! I just measured the 9-cup Bialetti Moka Espresso Maker and the measurements should indeed be the same as espressozone.com's GAS-310 gasket.

I read a post on Amazon concerning this problem. Someone with a Bialetti Class 9-cup Espresso Maker (which is stainless steel) said that Espresso Zone's GAS-310 fits properly. But I have a Moka Maker like you, so I'm not sure if it will fit!

Hi It works with standard gaskets for Moka stove coffeemaker. I usually buy them in local Italian store they are cheaper. But I have found them also at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Bialetti-06996-Mukka-cups-Replacement/dp/B001FO9Q78/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1420735727&sr=8-7&keywords=Bialetti+Replacement+Gaskets+and+Filter+For+2+Cup

i don't believ so. I think you need a conventional type of stove stop espresso maker like I use. There is a company called Bialetti. (see link) I use a 2 cup and its perfect. Hope this helps The Original Bialetti Moka Express Made in Italy 6-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker with Patented Valve

I've tried everything that a person could do without adding anything additional to the coffee maker, itself. Nothing works for me. However I did read where someone got a little rubber ring and added that above the gasket that comes down to seal the water when flowing from the coffee maker to the disposable cup. That will probably be my next attempt. It sounds like a lot of work/knowledge but when cleaning it, you'll see the little gasket and it comes off the maker very easily. An extra ring put on just above the gasket would bring it down further and that might just work. Stay tuned!

Yes, I had to replace the flat blue gasket (it fell out--the one design flaw) and Ace Hardware had a perfect replacement. Take the Thermos in and they will find it. Works perfectly, and you need that gasket.

I don't understand the question. There is a gasket inside the item that you fill with espresso. If that is what you are wanting to know.

Yes! There is a problem. Seems like a new design and it is not right. Call Cuisinart and get another lid for carafe & a mesh holder, just inc ase there is a problem with that too. They have a 1-800#.It will not work right unless replaced!! somebody's idea of a new design doesn't work!!

They use standard size #4 gaskets used in moka pots. Bialetti sells these gaskets, and you can also sometimes find less expensive, generic ones on Amazon.

We had this problem early on too, and it is very annoying. However, it happens because the bail (the metal wire hoop around the rim of the lid that holds the gasket in place) is not exactly in the middle or top of the V-Shape gasket all the way around. First step is to ensure it is by running your fingers around it and looking to make sure the gasket is as snug as it can be against the bail's wire. Next place the lid carefully on the pot, properly aligning the lug locks. Then twist evenly once it is level. We also found if we didn't put the lid on properly in the first go and fiddled with the lid, the probability of the gasket being mis-centered and failing to seal was high. Better to redo when you suspect the gasket may be improperly seated, than to go ahead with the doubt, heat up and then have to redo with a hot lid (un-fun, as you probably well know). The gasket and it's bail are more fiddly than sealing a pressure cooker should be, but that is the worst feature of the Secura. Once you get in the habit of ensuring the gasket is properly in place and get the lid set, and twist it to seal, it is a very reliable and wonderful cooking unit. So, now take a deep breath, properly seat the gasket, align the locking lugs, and smoothly twist. Set the time and mode, and you are done!

Hello, I'm sorry I can't help, we bought two expresso machines at the same time and decided to keep Brewille Barista Express instead of Philips Saeco. I would probably contact a dealer and ask them.

I have not experienced this problem, but check if the steam is actually being vented from the relief valve. I own two of these espresso makers, the first one purchased 2 years ago from Sur La Table, the other purchased recently from Amazon. The one more recently purchased has issues with steam leaking from the valve. My first one never did this. If the steam is, in fact, leaking from the gasket, don't over tighten, but rather reseat the gasket and see if that works. If it doesn't replace the gasket with a new one. If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with the fit of the top and bottom parts and the espresso maker should be returned for a replacement.

I am also looking for a replacement gasket for the 60 oz size. If you were able to find a replacement and could let me know where you did, that would be great!

Sorry, I don't know. Sometimes the Bialetti replacements don't even fit Bialetti - you have to experiment!
