The bialetti gaskets don't fit my vev vigano 2 cup espresso maker bought on Amazon. (I love it!) Anyone found gaskets that fit?

I do not know, as I have a 12 cup espresso maker and have not had any trouble finding gaskets so far in Australia

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

We do sell Vev Vigano gaskets for 6 cup Vev Vigano coffee makers. These gaskets won't fit a non Vev Vigano coffee maker and vice versa.

mine, also Italian, has 019 on the bottom, inside the lid 1111 and 11 and kmai-2--yours could be for demi tasse, not american size coffee, do you s'pose? what do you mean ,,"ordered a 3 cup filter but it is too small. Is this a 6 cup".??? get in touch directly with Bialetti would be the best idea.

I'm not sure, mine were damaged as well along with some other espresso cups I bought....I just figured that I could return them but I didn't think it was worth the hassle.

I just came across the carafes that I kept a couple of days ago after our machine died. I have listed them together on Ebay now as "Krups Caffe Duomo and Espresso 985-42 Carafe, Both Sizes".

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 ordered mine through Amazon. Just search for "Magic Bullet Gaskets". Be careful about the size to be sure they will fit. Mine don't.

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'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!

Based on the measurement you provided it indicates you have a 2-cup maker. At the Amazon site, type into the search window: 'Bialetti 2 cup gasket' and the 2 1/4" gasket will be shown. If you go to the 3-cup or 6-cup gaskets you will be able to highlight a chart on the left showing all gaskets/sizes as confirmation that this info is correct. I wish you good brewing.

For my stainless steel 9 cup pot, the gasket is 3 3/8" od, 2 3/4" id. Best advice: go to Espresso Zone. That's Espresso with an "s". Click on the Spare Parts tab, then Stovetop Espresso Maker Parts, then Bialetti Parts. They make it easy to find the gasket you need and the prices are better. Good luck!

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.

Why? Because they aren't well made would be my evaluation. It leaked there, and from above the filter basket. In fact they sent me two as warranty and they both malfunctioned similarly, one even leaked out through the on/off switch. That couldn't be too safe, I've since given up on that brand, and espresso machines generally.

I had no success in finding the correct size gasket for an old coffee maker. I gave up.
