I bought a new moka pot recently online. Brand name but it's having some issues after a week or two - lots of loss of water through the pressure outlet... None of my pots have ever done this so I'm assuming there's a fault... Can't seem to figure out a way to tighten anything... Fixable or no do you think?
Valve looks to be dodgy. I'd get. Replacement if possible. Or buy a new valve and try to replace that bit yourself.
Just looked at valve prices and they're half the cost of a new pot.....
Perhaps seek a new pot then.
You said new? Warranty?
Hmm doesn't sound normal, can you ask for a warranty replacement?
Yeah, looks like a valve problem as it should only steam out of there when the pressure is too much.
Have you tried it with less coffee or a coarser grind just to make sure it isn't over filled? Same with making sure the water doesn't go above the valve
