Left on the stovetop without water -- do I need a new moka pot? I put my moka pot &amp; coffee on the stove this morning and forgot to put water into the bottom. Definitely a strong burnt rubber and burnt coffee smell before I noticed it; the rubber gasket was warped and it stuck to the top part a bit while I was trying to remove it.
Would getting a replacement rubber gasket be good enough or is the aluminum body (and basket) damaged too at this point?
We have an almost identical Q/A, just without a burnt gasket. In short, aluminum is very heat tolerant and unless you see some unexpected warping or other deformation (unlikely, I would assume), replacing the seal should be sufficient.
