Where have the 6 cup-gaskets gone? Where have all the gaskets gone for this pot?!?

I found gaskets for the Bialetti Class 6-cup espresso model (and other Bialetti models) at: www.espressozone.com/espresso-maker-gaskets.html I haven't had any personal experience with the above retailer, but hope you find what you need. The gaskets are priced pretty steeply (especially after having to pay for shipping), but like you, I wasn't able to find any other place that had them in stock. If you find any other available source(s), please report back!

There is no gasket. The glass comes with new adhesive. You simply reassemble the parts..

Same thing happened to me. I could not find one and eventually had to dispose of the entire thing. You're better off buying them at the store and making sure replacement carafes are available. Sorry I could not be of any more help.

Your espresso pot might be different from mine. But here goes. First, dig out the old gasket with a dull butter knife. Then, remove the perforated disk, noting which way it was installed. Clean all of the surfaces as needed. Finally replace the perforated disc and carefully press the new gasket in place, it's quite flexible. I hope this helps.

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

Look up the model # of your pressure cooker, you might try Presto directly, and they will list the parts available. I have several older pots, and have good luck except for the large gasket. Love my pressure cookers!!

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!

Don't see a gasket in mine. The top has to be tightened down completely in order to build pressure.

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 was having the same exact problem and i couldnt figure it out. My assistant played with it and I think she put the gasket at the bottom or something and now it works. Unfortunately i didnt fix it, she did i dont know how to help you. I would suggest that you change the order in which the parts are inside the handle and see if you can get it to work.

Agree with the first answer - it seems that the gasket is unnecessary - in fact, the gasket just makes it harder to clean.

I spoke to Thermos about this today. They refuse to sell the gasket's separately, telling me that they "are made with the lids." This is clearly false: they are entirely separate from the lids and could be sold separately.

Did you try "kitchen gaskets" at Amazon? I think that they have them. If not, USD Google to find the Oggi URL.

I contacted consumer.service@thermos.com and they are offering the gaskets for $1 each plus (unspecified) shipping and handling. However, while I was waiting to hear from them, I walked into my local grocery store and saw a package of replacement gaskets for the 1-cup sized stovetop espresso makers and they turned out to fit perfectly. They are rubber and not silicon, but they work great.

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!

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

Looks like the lid gasket is either worn or was sized wrong. If it's new they should send you a new one, otherwise you can look into getting a new gasket. Something that might work is adding layers of Teflon tape around the current gasket until it stays on, but note that whatever material you use could end up leaching into your beverage if the liquid contacts it.
