If your Moka Pot is sputtering or spitting coffee while brewing it, or it is not even brewing coffee, it just releases steam, in this I give a tip of how to solve this issue, …
This has saved my gnali & zani moka pot fro. the trash bin !!
I may added that i also put the tape on the thread of the moka pot.. Because i read somewhere that whenever the steam can find a way out other than the funnel, it will fail to come up.
Now it ALWAYS made a good job ! Thank You so so much for this tip !
Sending you best wishes and a happy life from San Francisco! This was driving us crazy as we enjoy making El Carajillo cocktails which combine espresso with mezcal, liquer 43 and rosemary. We couldnt figure out what was wrong with the Moka pot and were about to buy an espresso machine out of frustration!
Trillions of thanks for this tape idea…my moka pot got new life….coffee is tasting so so so so much better, and because of this my days are turning out to be much better…..if we ever meet in life…..coffee is on me!!!!! for now am subscriber your channel!!!!!
Bravisimo…. I have been brewing shitty coffee since I had to replace the rubber but thanks to you I am finally brewing perfect coffees again. It pissed me off so much when my moka started sputtering from the beginning… You f*cking legend! Grazie mille!!!
Great video, I’ve only had this problem once, and it was when I bought preground coffee. Usually I grind my own and it works great. The preground coffee was made for drip, so it shouldn’t have sputtered. Not sure what happened. Regardless, great video and a genius solution to the problem. I would love to see other tips with how you brew your moka. Hot water vs cold water at the beginning, what grind size, and how much heat you apply. Thanks!
thank you very much for your tips! i just bought my Bialetti Moka Pot for 3 cups & the coffee kept sputtering. i will definitely try this tip! Many thanks from Malaysia brother!! i really appreciate your video!!!
thanks good job. can you tell me how often to clean the pot taking the filter off? i clean my daily but the filter only once a month because i fear the wear and tear of taking out . also how much coffee you drink cups wise ..thanks b safe
New gaskets will cause this problem every time, due to the fact the rubber is hard and clean, ie. grippy. You won't be able to tighten the two halves of the pot enough to compress the seal enough to hold pressure. Solution: lube. Just dab a little vegetable oil around the rim of the pot with a fingertip before assembly and crank it TIGHT like always. After the first use, residual coffee oils should be enough. You shouldn't need any PTFE tape either, if the funnel top is round and flat. The rubber seal is designed to seal the pot and the funnel from each other.
I read about this same solution on Reddit after losing function from my Moka Pot from too much tapping of my funnel (deforming it slightly) on my compost pail. I was able to restore function and get a fine cuppa once more. This video is an excellent how to on the process. I realized I went a little frugal on my Teflon Tape wrap and will reinforce a bit now. I'm about 6 brews in on the original wrap with no sign of failure, however. Curious to see if I get better function with a better wrap.
Isn't PTFE seal tape made from the same thing that makes Teflon, which is can cause a bunch of health problems if heated too much, and won't the tape be coming in contact with the water you'll be drinking?
THIS IS AMAZING! Before the town I live in burnt down, and my moka pot with it, it had this problem ALL the time. At least now if my next one does this I'll know how to fix it.
well, what can I say? It works splendidly and you saved the life of my two coffe makers, a Bialetti and other very old, a Zanzibar. Thank you very much!!!
Great fix! This also implies that one should not knock their baskets out for cleaning. Though convienient, it will also knock the basket out of alignment.
Yes this problem is a real pain in the butt! Thank you very much 😍👍 I have to ask, With the tape wrapped around the filter, does it make it hard to take it out when you need to remove from the bottom when you need to empty the coffee grounds?
I have never, ever commented on a video before, but I am so grateful to you! I spent days searching for a solution to this problem before I found your solution. It was a very frustrating experience because I absolutely couldn't find anything wrong with my moka pot, but it stopped working after years of reliable service. This little solution solved my problem, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you!
Wow… nice problem solve.. thanks
Teflon tape is toxic
The way this guy pronounces funnel deserves a 🥇
☺️ perfect advice 👍 grazie mille 😎

I've been struggling with the moka pot so long until now, thank you a lot
Don't you think there is an o-ring with this diameter?
Finally a useful video, thank you! Will try as soon as i buy the tape.

Shame i see this after I threw out my Alessi mokapot 🙁 But now i know what to do if my Bialetti one starts sputtering too- in fact it does at times!

Are you brazilian? 😀
By the way, Vinicius, greetings from Brazil…
well, what can I say? It works splendidly and you saved the life of my two coffe makers, a Bialetti and other very old, a Zanzibar. Thank you very much!!!
It WORKS!!!!!!!! Now my large Moka Por works like a charm!
Thank you for your help 👍
Thank you for sharing, we were so disappointed with our new pot that was having this problem. It’s all settled, we are enjoying our coffee now!
👍👍👍👍👍

Super! Thank you for posting this. I was about to give up on the stove tops as this was the second stovetop of mine that ended up doing this..
Good tips. Thank you
can't thank you enough. this guy saved me from buying another $100 bialetti mokapot. love from australia. merry christmas you bloody legend 🙂
What if the valve/screw on the outside is leaking some water during the boiling process?
How well does the tape withstand the hot temperature? Does it melt?
Makes perfect sense…
Thank you for solving my problem
Yes this problem is a real pain in the butt!
Thank you very much 😍👍 I have to ask,
With the tape wrapped around the filter, does it make it hard to take it out when you need to remove from the bottom when you need to empty the coffee grounds?
Thank You for your very helpful video!
