Youre not stupid,that is the gasket off the top bowl,this is what seals it to the pot.

I have two coffeemasters in perfect condition, but the seals are shot on both of them. Let us know how good these replacement seals are when you get yours installed. If they are good, I'll buy two.
Right behind you!
I have a C30 with an iffy gasket.
If this is from a new production run, it would be GREAT!

The problem with my first C-30 was that the seal hardened up and split in two.
The second seal works, but imparts a serious rubber flavor to the coffee.
But when working properly these machines do offer some of the best coffee you'll ever have.
I have heard that others have tried to recreate the seal for coffeemasters before, but only had limited success.

I purchased one
When I get it I'll let you know how it works. I can use mine if I soak the upper pot in very hot water for a few minutes, that softens up the gasket. The heat of brewing keeps it soft. I have tried glycerine, but to no avail, maybe I didn't use enough. I hope the new one doesn't have any taste issues.

I know the remedy is to buy a C-50, which doesn't use a rubber seal. But I really like the condition my C-30's are in.
Yes, please let me know how it worked out for you.

C50...
Actually the C50 does use a rubber gasket, it's just different. It's more like a giant rubber O-ring. Locking the handles puts pressure on the O-ring and seals. It is a better design, but it still utilizes a rubber seal.
I love my C30C ad C50,

Thanks for the correction about the rubber seal on the C-50.
If these new replacement seals work, there will be tons of Coffeemaster owners all over the world rejoicing, and the Coffeemasters will carry on for another 50 years!

So far So good
I got the gasket today. It is nice and soft, my old one was very hard. I had to break the old one to get out the "washer" which is actually cup shaped, about 1/4" deep. The old gasket was also reinforced by a metal band embedded within the gasket. The washer is on the right and is threaded to screw onto the spout shaped piece that sticks down into the water. Seller recommends a light coating of cooking oil.

All put together.
Here is the upper pot, assembled. I tried it with plain water then since that worked OK, I brewed a full pot of coffee. So it does fit and does work. Since it was a reproduction of an obsolete part, I did not mind paying the price. I think it is great someone took the trouble to make it.

That's it. I'm gonna buy one of these myself. I miss the taste of coffee from my coffeemaster!
And thanks for the tip on removing the rubber taste from my old seal. I'll give that a try!

I have a NOS Sunbeam gasket that a friend sent me for my glass-top Coffeemaster but haven't had the nerve to try putting it on yet. Those OEM parts are so scarce!
I bought one of these Ebay gaskets as well but haven't had the time to fiddle with it yet. If it works, I'll get a couple more for the other C-masters I have.

It'll be very interesting to see if this holds up
under use. That original gasket does have SS teeth embedded into to which are there to stiffen and push the seal into contact with the pot rim. Ofcourse newer rubber can be molded to be harder or softer than it was in the 1950's so this may be a bang up solution without the need for the SS teeth.
Its a really complex gasket when you take it apart.

I'm still stupid
I ebayed the seller to ask about these
I belong to clubs that could use these to refix their pots are there anymore to get in the future
- bpetersxx
I got this in response
Yes, but for now I can only make one @ a time.
In less than 30 days I will have all you want.
Thanks, -----------Lee----------
I am missing something here
Is he making them himself or the production hasn't geared up yet
Or this is a trial run to see if they sell well enough to produce in large quantities

Hmm, my parents' old C30A may come back to life some day.
