How often do I have to change the filter on my Bialetti 6800 Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker?

I have never changed mine. The only time I take it out is when I replace the gasket.

I've had my stovetop coffee maker for about three years and I just changed it as the rubber was yucky

I've used my Bialetti 6-cup stovetop espresso maker daily for a year and have only needed to change the gasket once. The filter is still good.

The filter is metal, aluminum I believe. You don't change it. You wash it and reuse it. The only part that has to ever be replaced is the rubber gasket. After using the coffee maker and it is COOL, wash in sudsy water. Take the gasket out of the top part of the coffee maker and the filter will fall out. Wash it all separately, dry it thoroughly and reuse. :) The gasket breaks down with time since it is rubber. If you have a hard time getting it out, use the tip of a knife to pry it loose.

Capresso recommends changing the water filter every year or so. Whenever it gets really cloudy so as to have an impact on the drip rate, change. For the last Capresso, I waited two years and that was too long.

Every 6. month's but make sure it's the correct filter because the one I. ppurchased in December was shipped with the wrong filter it blew dust out. replaced with right filter this is my second one. That's why I purchased this one, the last one lasted fir 10 years. It ran 24 hours 7days a week nonstop.

My Capresso is on route to me. I bought an additional filter because we intend to brew 4.5 cups at 5am and then 2 cups at 8:30AM so need another clean/dry filter second brew. No time to clean and dry first one. We do that now with are regular drip coffee maker.

The filter should be replaced every 1-2 months, depending upon usage. I set my dial for 2 months ahead as we brew only about 3-4 cups per day.

Yes, and I have reused a single filter, at 2 brew ups per day, for several months. They are good until they tear or get a hole in them. Very 'green' if you want to look at it that way.

On the old models I changed every 30 days. This one, with filter A, says it will last 3-6 months. I haven't had this one long enough to know for sure.

I have not had the need to replace them yet. the parts however are the same as the bialetti 6 cup stove top. I have had bialetti's for a long time now and have never had to replace parts. Main maintenance: immediately after pouring out coffee I pour some water in the top cup and I only only wash/ rinse with cold water.

Any standard coffee filter that's cheap. I generally buy 200 or 300 at a time when they're on sale. That's the wonderful thing about this type of coffeemaker: it's cheap to buy and cheap to maintain.

I change the membrane once a year and the filters every six months. Works well for me.

I change my filter every two months. We drink a cup of coffee for breakfast and occasionally for supper. That's not a lot of use for the Keurig really.

The filter can be changed either 6 months or a year, but you must remove the front panel and vacuum off any debris about every 2 months, depending on how dirty it gets will determine how often you have to do this.

You change it every three months. I purchased this after looking at others without filters. Totally good value .

Take the existing ring out, once you do the metal filter inside should fall out for a more accurate measurement of your particular model. Mine is a six cup model Bialetti Moka Express, the outside diameter of the ring itself is 2 7/8".....the inside diameter is 2 3/16"

Trixie,I basically set a calendar reminder to change it every 6 months. I think for home use this is more often than necessary but the filter is low enough cost to make that not a Big Deal. In years of having the Keurig plumbed in at home, not ONCE has it asked me to descale it and the coffee is always great without that bit of a "film" that you might see using tap water.

I would say it depends on the conditions at your home. We live up in the mountains where it is very dusty, so we check it at least once a month. We'll change it based on the amount of dust on the filter paper. We can generally go a couple of months before having to change it out.

This filter is intended to be changed every 12 to 24 months. It is recommended that the average household change it every 12 months for optimal performance and 18 months for optimal value.
