Review on Set of 3 Primula Silicone Gaskets for 6 Cup Aluminum Espresso Pots - Replacement Parts by Tracey Bacon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It is in very poor condition

I have a 3 cup Bialetti Dama. I've had it for a long time, in pretty bad shape, and I've been through a lot of Bialetti rubber pads. They never seem to last very long until I actually nail the pieces together to get a good seal. Eventually the seals fail and I look for another set. The vicious circle repeats itself. I went to Revain looking for pads and found these silicone rings. They looked promising but some reviews said it was better to buy the 6 cup version or that the 3 cup spacer didn't work for 3 cup coffee makers. I first ordered 6 cup pads thinking I was smart and tricked the system. No, unfortunately they didn't fit. Lesson learned. I reordered the 3 cup pads and they fit perfectly. Overall I am happy with these pads. Silicone is way better than rubber in my opinion. However, time will tell if they really perform as I expect them to. I really hope so.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Weight
