I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because I improvised and it still worked even though it was the wrong part for the job. When I replaced the bad gasket (or whatever they call it) with a supposedly good one from Revain, the leak got worse. I even ordered another one and it's not the advertised part either. So I put a new gasket on top of the worn gasket that came with the coffee pot, lowered the top and closed it. And as if by magic - after a couple of cans, the leak stopped completely. I don't know why it worked but it worked and my wife gave me a "well done" high five. If a five was for a kiss I would give it 3 stars.
