A blown gasket

[rebeccmeister]

I use a wee moka pot every single morning to make myself a latte with breakfast (one could say I'm perhaps a wee bit addicted, but who cares?). I love the thing. But its little rubber gasket is starting to fall apart in a bad way, leading to all sorts of leakage and spilling. My question to you, dear readers, is: do you think I'd be able to find a replacement at a hardware store? If not there, where?

I'm hoping my wee moka pot will have a fate similar to my father's, which has kept him company for years and years. This one's not even a year old yet, but is beginning to show a bit of wear. That's what I get for buying a cheap one.

You might be able to find something at a homebrewer's store. There's one on University Dr. between Rural and McClintok.

I had no idea their real name was "Moka Pot" we always called it the Camp Stove Coffee Maker!

They can be hard to find -- some coffee shops sell them, some kitchen supply stores have them. I've had the experience of looking for weeks and weeks (stores that "usually carry them" happen to be out of the size I need, etc.), finally finding one, and them seeing them again repeatedly, seemingly everywhere. So I always keep an extra on hand; when the gasket in the coffee maker goes bad, I can replace it immediately, then begin the search for a new one.

Love,
Dad

the kitchen place in chandler mall has them for me. and i think i may have purchased some at the cost plus place.


the 72 bus goes straight from asu to the chandler mall if you're into that sort of thing, if not, the 12 mile ride is all flat and okish, except mcclintock which is littered with thorns and other bike nemesae

I'm sure you could find one at Ace hardware or such. Probably. Maybe.
