The right name is: “macchinetta” per il caffÃ¨ (Coffee Machine) and not “macchianetta”

The amount of coffee to be used in moka pot is determined by the size of the filter. Basically what you can do is to fill out the basket just a little above the edge and then round it off, so the grounds are even with the basket edge. Be sure not to compress them though.

Many online stores that are specialized on selling coffee makers often have also replacement parts available for ordering separately. Click here to see example of Bialetti Stainless Steel Replacement gasket Filter for 4 cup Espresso Makers in Amazon (gasket here refers to rubber seal). If you clean the filter plate properly, you most likely won't need a replacement, however Bialetti normally sells the gaskets and filter together. Important thing is to pay attention to the size of the filter and rubber seals that you are ordering as well as the manufacturer, because if you order the wrong size or for the wrong model, they may not fit with your moka pot. Be sure to look for rubber seals (gaskets) and filter plates specifically for steel moka pots, because for example in case of Bialetti, aluminum and steel moka pots are sized differently.
