Where to get replacement parts for your Bialetti espresso maker
Practical places to buy Bialetti moka pot parts and how to pick the right size and material.

Best places to buy genuine or compatible parts
Bialetti’s official store
Bialetti sells gaskets, filter plates, funnels and some model-specific items on its own site, with parts listed by cup size and model family. You’ll find sets like “3 gaskets + 1 filter” for multiple capacities and separate funnels for 1 through 18 cups, plus stainless steel funnels and filter plates where applicable. Start here if you want the clearest model and size match. See the current assortment on the Bialetti US spare parts shop and regional stores: Bialetti spare parts shop (US), Bialetti spare parts (EU), Bialetti spare parts (IT).
Specialty coffee retailers
Well-stocked coffee retailers often carry Bialetti spares by cup size, including seals, filter plates and funnels for both aluminum Moka Express and stainless lines, plus model-specific funnels for Brikka. A representative example is The Coffee Company’s category page listing kits and individual parts across sizes and materials: The Coffee Company spare parts.

How to make sure you get the right part
Match model, size and material
- Confirm your exact model name and cup capacity. Bialetti and retailer pages sell parts by capacity (for example, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 cup), so the size is essential for a correct fit. Example listings on the official shop show gaskets and filters specified by cup size, including sets for 6-cup and 12-cup Moka Express models Bialetti spare parts shop (US).
- Check the material. Stainless steel Bialetti models often use different gaskets and filters than aluminum models. You can see separate “Stainless Steel” kits and plates offered by specialty retailers The Coffee Company spare parts and stainless-specific funnels and plates in Bialetti’s catalog Bialetti spare parts shop (US).
- Use the correct part name. Common items are gasket (seal), filter plate (filter), funnel (coffee basket), or handle. Official and retailer listings use these terms consistently Bialetti spare parts shop (US), The Coffee Company spare parts.
Quick checks before you order a Bialetti part
Basic fit and install tips
Use the instructions for your exact moka-pot model and replacement part. Allow the pot to cool completely before handling it. If the maker does not document a repair for users, ask Bialetti support for service advice instead of improvising. For routine cleaning, see our moka-pot care guide and model-specific descaling checks.

Safety and when to seek help
A safety valve is not an ordinary gasket or filter replacement. If it appears faulty, stop using the pot and ask Bialetti for model-specific service advice. Do not modify a valve or fit an unverified marketplace component. Stop using a pot with cracks, severe corrosion or a damaged safety mechanism and consult the manufacturer or a qualified service.
If you still can’t find the part
Check both the US and EU/Italy Bialetti shops for regional availability, and ask specialty retailers to notify you when sizes come back in stock. Having your model name, cup capacity and a photo of the old part ready will speed up support requests Bialetti spare parts (EU), Bialetti spare parts (IT).
Short FAQ
Are moka gaskets interchangeable across sizes?
No. Gaskets and filter plates are sold by cup size, and stainless steel models often use different parts than aluminum lines, as shown by separate listings for each size and material on official and retailer pages Bialetti spare parts shop (US), The Coffee Company spare parts.
Can I replace the safety valve myself?
Treat this as a safety-related service question. Stop using the pot and ask Bialetti for instructions for your exact model rather than following marketplace fitting advice or installing an unverified valve.
