Moka Pot Filter Plate & Funnel in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used 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. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.
