Univen Gasket for Stovetop Espresso Coffee Makers 3 Cup fits Bialetti, Imusa, BC, etc. Made in USA 3 PACK

When I bought these and first tried one, I had leakage where the top and bottom fit together, and figured these were not a good fit for my little Vev Vigano stovetop espresso maker. I initiated a return and tried to fit my old gasket back into the maker, even though it is stained and old and ragged along the edges. But then I decided to try once more, and this time, I really screwed the espresso maker together very tightly; it worked great! I've since made several cups without issue. When you have a brand new gasket, it just looks flat -- after months of use, the gasket tends to have grooves where it fits against the threaded edge of the base of your espresso maker. Repeat use and making sure you have this very tightly fit, the new gasket will keep a better seal as the edge of the base presses into the flexible gasket material. According to fancy Italian market web sites where my maker's gasket is sold for $7 a PIECE, the measurements are as follows for my model (4 cups): Outside Diameter: 2-17/32'' Inside Diameter: 1-31/32''. Finding the right replacement for something like this can be tricky, despite clearly indicated measurements. Again, screw the top and base of your espresso maker very tightly if the gasket appears to be a fit but you are experiencing leaking and therefore lack of pressure to pump the coffee into the top compartment. Once the maker is thoroughly cooled, use something with traction to unscrew the top from the base (I use grippy garden gloves). Once you've made a successful brew a few times and the new gasket gets "initiated", you will probably not have to use heroic efforts to avoid leakage. The gasket will get an impression/indentation from the top edge of the base part of your maker and that will give you an effortless seal. Once I realized that the measurements/size was fine, and that it was just a matter of tightly fastening the maker, I had no further issues with "first impressions" on these gaskets, and canceled my return. For the money, and considering they advise to change your gasket yearly, I'm set for years at a bargain price! Bravissimo!

My pot is even cracked, and we tried many types of seals, but none of them fit good. This one did maintain the pressure. Is it so good to have one size fit all type of product for very old machines that no longer have a brand to purchase from. Will buy again.

At first they were too small for my old stovetop espresso. But they fit my new smaller stovetop espresso.

Misleading information on this item -- as this gasket does NOT fit the Bialetti coffee maker.

Very comparable to original. Slightly looser fit.I like that it came as a 3 pack.

I had been using this gasket for a while now. There’s been no issues whatsoever. No leaks and stays sealed at high temperature.

I wanted a gasket as close to original as I could find, but did not want the more available and usually cheaper silicone replacements. These three gaskets fit the bill perfectly and were affordable. My coffee pot was not leaking and there was still flexibility in the original stained yet fully functional gasket, I simply wanted to be ready. I was happy that here was no excess packaging and each of the gaskets was uniform and without blemish. I measured against the original to confirm my visual impression. After trying a new gasket, I was reassured that my decision to purchase these was wise. I'll repurchase if and when necessary
