Grosche Replacement Filter & Seal Set, 3 Cup

Set of 3 silicone replacement gaskets & filter for stovetop espresso makers

This is a set of three (3) silicone  replacement gaskets and one (1) filter for a stovetop espresso maker,  also called an Italian coffee maker or Moka Pot. The seals are made from  heatproof silicone and are of a standard size, making them a universal  fit for all brands. And these are the replacement parts that need to be  replaced periodically. 

What size of Italian coffee maker do I have?

It’s difficult to know the size of stovetop espresso maker you have,  unless it is clearly labeled. Also because the “cup” measurement that is  given to these stovetop espresso makers is not a common one. The cups  are sized for European espresso cups, not North American coffee cups. To  know the correct size for your espresso maker, check the diameter  (outer width from one side of the circular seal to another) of the  gasket you have. So you’re wondering “What size of gasket do I need for  my espresso maker?”  Then match it up to the sizing to the picture shown. 

When it says 3 cups that’s a small  espresso cup, not a large coffee cup. Due to the size naming system of  these pots, people in North America often get confused about the sizing.  So they expect that a 6 cup pot will make 6 large coffee mugs or cups,  when its only 6 smaller cups of espresso. To check the sizes and  capacities you can also check out our Milano Stovetop Espresso Maker for more information. 

Will it fit a stainless steel stovetop espresso maker?

The Stainless steel moka pots usually have the same sizing as the  aluminum pots, so it should. However some manufacturers can make custom  sizes at times, so its best to measure your gasket and make sure that it  matches the 3 sizes listed. As long as the size matches you can use the  silicone gaskets in your espresso maker.
