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 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!

Ira, I am not sure. I use the silicon gasket for my stove top Italian espresso maker. It's a six cupper and wI was taking a chance it would fit. It does for my coffee maker. The standard rubber gaskets over time expand and eventually deteriorate and imparts the rubber taste to the coffee. However, this gasket does not expand, but it also does not expand therefore the gasket keeps falling out from the inside rim when taking the maker apart. This may be an inherent quality of the silicon rubber. It is not bad or good, just a slight inconvenience. I may have not answered your question, but provided my insight on the experiences. I would buy again. Ira, I am not sure. I use the silicon gasket for my stove top Italian espresso maker. It's a six cupper and wI was taking a chance it would fit. It does for my coffee maker.

I have the same problem. The rubber gasket on the lid expands causing it to jam up when you try to screw it on. unfortunately they don't just sell the replacement gaskets, you have to buy a new lid.I bought a replacement lid for mine and I rotate between the two and that helps. I'll use one lid for a couple weeks until it starts getting tight and then I'll switch to the other lid. This gives the rubber gasket on the lid not in use time to shrink back down to normal size.

Unfortunately I dint know the od or id but it will work if you have the 9 cup Bialetti.

I'm looking for the same item because I have a small espresso machine that has a footprint much smaller than the smallest burner. Is there anything that's on the market for such an issue? Glass tops are a pain.

HiThe gasket is for the 9-cup pot: Outside diameter is just over 3 1/8". Inside diameter is 2 1/2". Hope this helps!

Yes, you might have forgot to reuse the gasket, or the gasket is too flat and need to be replaced

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!

The most common problem seems to be gasket stretch. Parts are available from Nordic Ware at (877) 466-7342. Gaskets are very reasonable and the lady that helped was just delightful. Ask for Georgia! :)

I use my 3-cup Moka Express every day. It eventually got so I was prying the basket out of the tank with a screwdriver. It didn't help that I forgot about it one day and left it on the hot stove. I was lucky that my sister-in-law gave me a new basket and some rubber gaskets, too. My gasket had turned into a gummy mess and broke up. I was using an o-ring I found at the hardware store. The baskets are about $5.

Sorry, I haven't owned mine long enough to need a new gasket. Have you tried contacting the company directly?

I have this same vacuum jar I bought from someplace else. I lost the gasket, called PMI, they were very helpful, so helpful in fact they sent me 2 free gaskets. They asked me for some numbers found on the bottom on the container.Example:CUP - SS04HANDLE - RH98STOPPER - RS45

Not sure about your number, just figure out what size/how many cups. I've bought my replacements here http://www.espressozone.com. If you are near a Pete's coffee shop, some sell the replacement gaskets, at least I know the one in Berkeley does and ha grabbed them there when visiting

I bought my husband a Stella espresso maker and they are now out of business so no gaskets. He was able to measure and buy something that worked from StovetopItaly.com http://stovetopitaly.com/Rubber-Gaskets-for-Stovetop-Espresso-Makers-113.htm

Sorry, there is no measurement on the replacement gaskets or the espresso maker itself. It is the 6 cup size and that is all we have used for reference.

Hello Benji, I'm sorry but, I had 2 older Mirro pressure canners that were the same size diameter and I had a devil of a time finding a gasket that should have fit. When the gasket came I followed the instructions and tried 3 times to get it to work but, the gasket appeared to be too big in diameter. It would not seal, so it was useless to me. Subsequently I just scrapped both pressure canners. I hope you have better luck.

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
