  • When your percolator starts leaking on the side, it is an easy gasket replacement. This is a stove-top 3-cup Bialetti Moka Express Iris but the same replacement instructions work for almost any percolator of this type.

    This was really helpful! My moka pot started leaking and I was real intimidated about how to fix it. Thanks for instructions and the humour!

    Very helpful. Rehabilitating my knock-off moka pot after accidentally leaving it on the burner for over an hour! Gasket melted onto the metal and residual coffee in the reservoir looked baked-on. Took steel wool to it and ordered the gasket/filter replacement. Just watched your video and installed and I'm ready to roll for tomorrow morning! Thanks!

    Wow, replaced mine, it IS that simple. The lower half, when screwed in to position, secures the gasket which in turn secures the upper filter.
    Hence no adhesive required.
    Thanks.
    And thanks AliExpress.

      Yes, you can get gaskets from a lot of places but AliExpress has a handy gasket chart that helps you figure out which one you need.

    Thanks, I'll get a replacement gasket. Mine fell apart after the first use. Question, I read that the flame or heat source should not be wider than the bottom of the pot. I have a gas burner but doesn't work well on your electric stove top? Is the heat only as small as the base? Or does your handle get real hot?

    • @scyberclops
      @scyberclops  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are a few issues with flames. You should not have flames high because it's a waste. If you look at the flame "points" - the cone point of the gas stove flame is the hottest point. You should lower the flame height so the points approximate hitting the bottom of the base. If the flames are too high, you are heating the edge of the pot above the base. You also run the risk of damaging the handle. Here is a simple youtube vid where you can watch where the flame is hottest. th-cam.com/users/shortsvlRGGhJOWwQ
      As far as using an electric stove, I actually use one but every electric stove is different so you have to figure what works for you. A standard three cup percolator should take between 8 and ten minutes as shown in this video th-cam.com/video/iORcokydMzE/w-d-xo.html
      You should NEVER heat the poy too fast or too high or too long beacause you could damage the gasket, the handle, the cap nub or the pot itself. But what you are most concerned about with heating the pot to quickly is that it would not give enough time for the water to soak the ground which would cause pressure build up and the escap valve being released. This video talks about how percolators work and talks about the valve. th-cam.com/video/v6XufjVtkb4/w-d-xo.html

    • @scyberclops
      @scyberclops  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      is it possible you put the filter upside down? During my video I said, "not like this" then flipped it over and said "like this". The other possibility is you are putting the coffee directly in the base instead of the lower filter - I've seen that done before. In the bottom of my comments is a limk to a video on how to make it. Please check if you are doing it right.

    Btw you're supposed to regularly take the filter out and clean under it... Otherwise coffee ground and stuff get stuck in there with time, which is gross.

    • @scyberclops
      @scyberclops  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      you saw my pot. There were no grounds at all. Just a little bit of patina. If you have grinds beyond your upper filter, you probably need to get a replacement upper filter. The water going through there is high temperature. Nothing could live through that. The only concern would be if you didn't clean it and just left it closed with old grounds in it for a few weeks. Sometimes people put them aside without emptying the ground because they forget. The moistness can cause the upper or lower filter to corrode and could have some mold. But other than that, it should be fine.

    Hi! How many brews you have to do to the coffee go as it was brewing before the replacement? For me, always it takes like three brews to be ok. At the last one, it for sure is most than 15 times and aren't good enough. Thank you!

      I have gone years before replacing the gasket. That is hundreds of uses. You don't really need to replace it until it's leaking, or if you feel like you want to.

  • @janusville
    @janusville ปีที่แล้ว

    I took the upper seal off rather than the lower seal and the replacement doesn’t fit. Either that or I got the wrong size. The lower seal fits fine, actually, kind of loose😢

      @scyberclops  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't know what you mean by upper or lower seal. There is only one seal where the basin screws into the top. What brand and size coffee maker do you have?

      different companies have different size rings and I don't know what size of coffee maker you have. Mine is a 3-cup. It helps to know that each cup is 1 1/2 to 2 ounces. Figure out the name of the company, give them a call and they should be able to help you figure it out.
