I recently learned the hard way what happens when you put the Moka pot on the stove and go away without starting a timer. First of all, it made the coffee of course. Then the heat made its way to the upper portion, boiled the coffee, and sent it spraying out the spout and into the room. All while melting the gasket. After cleaning up, I made a new gasket from an old bike innertube, and it worked just fine.
