Coffee Appreciation

Never seen spare valves for stovetop expresso makers; I've also never, ever seen one fail which may be why.

Corrosion perhaps? May just need to replace the whole maker.

i know someone who had a catastrophic fail with a stove top espresso maker where it blew up scalding her.

@hippy likely to be the rubber seal that has gone. good ones usually come with a spare otherwise i think you can order them.
