Bialetti Seal & Filter Plate — Stainless Steel Moka Pots

If your moka pot has started hissing at the seam, taking forever, or producing a thin, sputtery brew, the seal has almost certainly gone. They’re consumable — heat cycles harden the rubber until it can’t hold a seal, and no amount of tightening fixes it. This set has the replacement seal and filter plate for stainless steel Bialetti stovetop makers, in the size to suit your pot. Pop the old ones out, press the new ones in, and the pot brews like it did new. Worth keeping a spare in the drawer.

• Seal and filter plate together — replace both at once for a proper seal
• For stainless steel Bialetti stovetop makers: Venus, Musa, Kitty and Class
• Choose your size to match your pot
• Restores pressure — a worn seal is the most common cause of slow brewing and weak coffee
• Genuine Bialetti part — correct diameter and profile, no guesswork
• Fits in under a minute — no tools needed
• Hand wash in warm soapy water

Please note this set is for stainless steel Bialetti pots only. Aluminium and induction models take a different seal, even at the same cup size.

When to replace

Most pots need a new seal every one to two years with regular use, sooner if it’s used daily. Replace it if you notice steam escaping from the join, the pot taking noticeably longer to brew, a weak or sputtering flow into the top chamber, or if the seal looks cracked, hardened or flattened. Bialetti recommend replacing the filter plate at the same time.
