you wonderful, wonderful man, this absolutely solved my moka pot problem. i was literally jumping for joy when the coffee came up smoothly and it was nice and strong and the coffee itself (with a touch of milk) tastes so good. thank you, thank you, thank you. may the coffee gods bless you with many years of great brews.

The way this guy pronounces funnel deserves a 🥇

Is this even safe? 🤔 I'm afraid ptfe tapes are not food grade and can release harmful substances when heated.

Nothing like a little forever chemicals (PTFE = Teflon = PFAs) in your coffee - this is not a good fix. Make sure your gasket is on right, the top is on the base really tight, the lid is closed & turn your stove up.

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!

Holy wow what a difference. I was convinced that I was doing SOMETHING wrong even if I didn't know what it was. One wrap of the yellow Teflon tape (rated for gas so it's a little thicker) and 10 mins later I have a beautiful constant brew going for the first time since I bought this thing! You sir, are a hero!

thank you for this video and showing us what's the cause. i solved this issue by screwing the top and bottom chamber as humanly tightly as possible. Perhaps you guys should try to tighten it as much as possible first. If that doesn't work, then try other workaround like the one shown in this video

can't thank you enough. this guy saved me from buying another $100 bialetti mokapot. love from australia. merry christmas you bloody legend :)

i just had a similar problem with a new pot.... i think this happens also when you do not tighten the two parts of the mocha pot enough. --just wanted to say that in case anyone else had the problem.

I have a brand new moka pot and I was very dissapointed as I couldn't replicate the constant coffee flow that is so characteristic of this brewing type. Your video has changed that, and now I'm enjoying the best cup of Moka Pot Coffee I've had. Thanks a lot sirrr

I think the key of this (that you point out with your great experiment) is that the pressure must be sealed in the lower chamber and not leak past the funnel edge. The fix using just the parts of the Moka Pot is to make sure the gasket seals against the funnel. Most people focus on the gasket sealing the threaded lower part of the pot to the top, but the gasket has a second separate purpose: The funnel must also seal to the gasket so that the steam pressure does not leak around the funnel edge and up the "stack" (the part that the coffee eventually comes out of).

Had sputtering problems with a new Moka Pot. Tried everything, but nothing worked until I tried this. And it worked perfectly, thank you!!!

Don't know what I love more, the fact this simple video actually worked and I can get through the afternoon OR that there's so many coffee lovers gushing over this vid 😁. Thank you!

Great tip, Vinnie. I struggled trying to figure out the problem, always thinking it was the gasket or the filter. Your solution is spot on. Many thanks!

This was one of the easiest fixes with one of the biggest impacts I have ever tried anywhere, especially when talking about coffee. Thank you so much, sir! I hope you have a wonderful day.

This is f... awesome. My pot was sputtering and the result was a burt coffee (and dirty stove). The solution with the tape made all the difference. I was jumping all around the kitchen watching the stream of black liquid coming out eavenly. I am now enjoying an exquisite brew. Thanks!!!

Hi Vini; Thank you so much for posting this video. I am sending my gratitude from Israel. The coffee was perfect! The Internet is wonderful for sharing information, to help each other, as you have done. Peace and health to all.

I changed my grind up and down, lowered and increased the flame under the pot, changed the beans to another brand but none of that made a difference, I would not get enough coffee into the pot, I was ready to give up on the mocha pot. BUT, this video saved it, I applied the plumber's PTFE tape trick and this fixed my problem. Thank you!!

We have had this problem many times with many pots over many years. I tried your solution and it worked. Thank you very, very much!

Genius, I tried everything and was about to turn into a yard sculpture, but then! And I had that tape on hand, so immediate gratification. I love DIY fixes. Thanks you my friend.
