I want to order a gasket set for a Bialetti Moka. I am unclear how to specify the size. Does "2 cup" mean 2 espresso cups or 2 measuring cups?

measure the outside diameter of the gasket.If your coffee maker is made of aluminum and your gasket is 2 3/16" in diameter your espresso maker is a 2 cup;if it is 2 1/2" in diameter is a 3 cup.For stainless steel coffee makers a gasket of 2 1/8" in diameter means your espresso maker is a 1 to 2 cups.Obviously 2 cup means espresso cup,not measuring cup.

Standard size that is use in most home designed espresso machine - I use in saeco barista machine that I originally got at starbuck's - works great with that machine. I do know sone machines ( oscar from Nuova Simonelli uses a slightly larger pod so these ones will not fit for this machine

I ordered two sets...I think the order is for one....they are small, like Japanese tea cups a half cup size.

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"

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.

Hello, I understand how it seems confusing after you get all the pieces apart and do not know how they go back together. If you have your Bialetti in three pieces, hold the top of the Bialetti upside down so you are looking at the bottom of the top portion. Place the new metal filter disk in first so the part that comes up in the middle is facing towards you. Then place the gasket around the disk. it should fit flat across the top. If you were also sent a smaller gasket portion, this goes on the filter cup (the middle piece where the coffee goes). I hope that helps. -MK

I have the Bialetti Moka Express. There are 8 different sizes:1-2-3-4-6-9-12-18 cups. Mine is the 6 cup, the outside diameter for the upper part (female end) that has the handle is 3 inches. I am not sure what the Venus model looks like but i think that you may have the 9 cup model....hope that helps.

I have a 6 cup stainless steel vev vigano pot that I have not used yet and this kit will fit it. The inside diameter of the new Bialetti gasket is slightly greater than the new vev vigano gasket but the outer diameter is about the same. I don't know if my vev vigano is the same as yours. Here's the link to mine: Vev Vigano Carioca Nero 6-Cup Espresso Maker I would look for a vev vigano part first but I would not hesitate to try this one. There is a link on that page for replacement vev vigano gaskets.Jim

Hello Norman, I have a 12-espresso cup. The diameter (outer border) ist 9 cm (= 3,543307 "). Look at http://bialettishop.com/MokaExpressSizes.htm to find your correct cup-size.

You can by them on Amazon: the right size is Bialetti Replacement Gaskets and Filter For 6 Cup Stovetop Espresso Coffee Makers. I own this product and the gaskets were a perfect fit.

This one should fit. I just measured mine and the dimensions you mention match. The gaskets are based I guess on the number of cups your Bialetti makes. I wasn't sure what size gasket to get for mine when I first started looking for them either.

I would guess #2 because its 2 cup model. It's standard size Bialetti just electric

I need a replacement for a 1 cup french press. only markings are on the glass...Mastercraft. Bought it at home goods....one broke and I need a glass replacement diameter measures 2. 1/4 inches

Pour in 10 oz. (296 ml.) of water, which goes right below the valve tip. 8 oz. (237 ml.) of coffee will be extracted to the top bin. The remaining 2 oz. stays in the boiler in the bottom to keep it from warping the unit. The Amazon product details are wrong, as it is on many web sites. Do NOT fill the boiler with more than 10 oz. (296 ml.) as you run the risk of the unit exploding (do not cover the tip of the valve). The most Moka espresso you will get from the 6-cup stovetop pot is 8 oz.

Yeah I had the same question...it refers the coffee filter size. It only makes one cup/mug at a time. I love it and use it everyday.
