Solved my problem with a new pot!
You helped me identify my problem! I wound up just stretching the basket back into place with my hands slightly and now I’m back in business. Appreciate it brother!
Happy to hear it 😀 Thanks for your comment.
What caused the basket to shrink? It was perfect when i bought it.
Thanks for this guide, it really helps to get our equipment back into use.
Thanks a lot. Hope you enjoy your coffee 😎
Thank you Saeed this worked very well! 🙏 I can finally use my moka pot again 😀
Really happy to hear it 😃 Congratulations for bringing it back to work 😊
Just get a new funnel guys. It costs nothing .
Worked like a charm. Bravo!
Good news 😃😃
Thank you! My moka pot works again like new!
Good news! 😃 Thanks for watching my video.
I am concerned about the microplastic it could potentially be generated by heating the plastic, also this solution how long does it last? How often do I need to do this to fix the moka?
oh my god thank you... all this time i just thought i sucked at making coffee, which was really embarrassing given that i'm a barista lmfao. so relieved that it isn't my fault hahaha
Nice to hear that it worked for a barista lmfao 😊😊
Very good👌👍🏻
Thanks ✔
It's important to use "Food grade" or "potable water" tape, as not all PTFE tape are created equal.
Exactly 😱
Im going to try this! I let you know after!
😃 Great. I’m waiting for the results.
@@thekey_ Hey! Man, I didn't get it to work. Im not sure I got the right sort of tape though. Is it crucial that I use this "PTFE" tape?
PTFE tape can leach PFAS. Terrible idea
I tried it
IT WORKS 😀
Great 😊😊
Thank you for the video, but i have a question.
Is there any risk ok explosion due to the pressure ?
Thanks for watching.
No, there isn't. Your moka pot already has a safety valve that releases accumulated pressure 😊

👎 1. Sand down the lower chamber a bit 2. Replace the white seal with the silicon one.
Works like charm
But do you think its safe ?? Does water come in contact with the tape
Good news. It should be safe. PTFE tape is already in use in all piping systems, from our homes to our offices.
is there a long term solution to this problem?
Yes, there is. Use PTFE tape for a while. Then check the sealing ring after a few weeks. You will notice that the seal has become thicker and seals the gap perfectly. At this point, you don’t need to apply PTFE tape until you want to change the washer again.
✨Nice trick! I will try this. 🤠👍
Thanks for watching. Let me know about the result 😃
Or replace filter and gasket.
Hi, I don’t understand why my moka pot once worked and now doesn’t. Before seeing your video I actually bought a new funnel and I’ve changed the seal and still it’s not working I can just see steam and hear a loud boiling sound. Any ideas ?
New funnel and new seal, but it doesn't work! 😃 This is one of those problems for which I need to see and test your moka pot. What I guess is that, there are tiny changes in designing and producing new moka pots. These are helpful for new buyers, but make the sealing of older ones nearly impossible.
@@thekey_ Yes you could be right. The sad part is it was only 4 months old. Anyways I had no choice but to order a new pot hopefully this one will last me longer than a few months. Can the safety valve cause problems?
@@thekey_ The plot thickens! I got a new pot and it’s still doing the same I’ve tried 2 different coffee types including the Illy one which specifically states for moka pots but it does feel like a finer ground. I’m going to try another coffee for the 3rd time, wish me luck!
@@Iremnaz786 Wow! what a strange story 😊😊 I hope that it works now.
Ok I want it 🥲 coffeeeeee😋
