Moka Pot Filter Plate & Funnel is used primarily for holding ground coffee in a stovetop moka pot: a perforated funnel basket carries the grounds and a gasketed filter plate above keeps them out of the brewed coffee. This page lists the industries and assemblies where it is specified, the selection criteria that matter for each application, handling and installation practice, and the cases where a different mesh, screen or filter type is the correct choice. It is supplied to FDA 21 CFR / EU 1935/2004 food contact.
Typical Applications for Moka Pot Filter Plate & Funnel
Where Moka Pot Filter Plate & Funnel is specified and bought:

How to Specify Moka Pot Filter Plate & Funnel for Your Application
- Cup size: Match the pot: 1, 3, 6 or 9 cup; funnel capacity follows.
- Holes: 0.6–0.7 mm holes hold back a fine-medium grind.
- Material: SS304 for induction-ready and dishwasher-safe pots; aluminum for classic pots.
- Standard: Quote FDA 21 CFR / EU 1935/2004 food contact and the size designation from the table on the product page, plus any value you changed in the technical drawing.
Handling & Installation Practice
- Fill the funnel level without tamping, so pressure stays safe.
- Rinse after use and replace the gasket when it hardens.
Common Selection Mistakes with Moka Pot Filter Plate & Funnel
- Ordering by cup size of a different brand, which may not fit.
- Tamping or using espresso-fine coffee, which over-pressurizes the pot.
Where Moka Pot Filter Plate & Funnel Is Not the Right Choice
Not an espresso basket — moka pots brew at about 1–1.5 bar, not 9 bar.
