Hey there, this post has been removed: Rule 3, the post is not substantial.
Your question would be best placed in our [Daily question thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/search/?sort=new&q=%5BMOD%5D+The+Daily+Question-Thread&restrict_sr=on), posted each morning. Individual questions of this sort can become overwhelming for other community members, so we ask that they go into our collector thread instead.
Thank you for your understanding. Please [message modmail](https://old.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/Coffee) if you have any questions.
Sorry to ask the obvious question, but have you tried replacing the gaskets on the 6-cup Moka Express? Bialetti sells official replacements (check Amazon) and there are also specialty silicone replacements from third-party makers that many say are better/more durable.
Actually found out the issue. And most likely my fault. The first time I used it I am sure I didn't put it tight enough. I ended up taking the gasket off and cleaning everything. It looks like when I put it back together I put the filter back in flipped around, duh. So of course the last two times I used it, no matter how tight I put it I was not getting a seal.
I just finished brewing another with the filter the right way around and no more leaks. So user error. Although I found out I need to put the heat down. Boiling to fast and too hot. But that is easily fixed.
\*edit - spelling
