I've had this for years and it's used occasionally.
Of course the rubber gasket has gotten so hard that it's difficult to separate the bottom from the top. But impossible now to put the two together without hot water ect. I've looked online for gaskets, and found Dayseal.com. Has anyone replaced their gasket, or used this Co? The glass tube in pic 2 is the only filter it's ever had, or that I've used? | ||

I purchased a new gasket from Dayseal for my Cory glass vac pot. While it was more pliable than the old gasket it was too slick to make a good seal once the pot heated up. Therefore, the upper bowl wouldn't stay in place after the water had risen to the top unless I held it down. This made it difficult to make a pot of coffee. I haven't had any experience with the replacement gaskets that they sell for the Coffeemaster, maybe they work better than the Cory. As for the filter rod you have, its a Silex, and they work OK, but I like the Cory glass rod better myself. They are readily available on Ebay. I have also used the Yama filter in my Coffeemaster and they are great, you can buy these online at Sweet Maria's.

I've heard soaking in glycerine and warm water wil soften it up too. I remember my orginal seal transfered a rubbery taste to the water. That's why I replaced it. | ||

Do a Google search for Coffeemaster filter. It was a disc of fine stainless steel wire with 180 wires per inch. | ||

Try ebay for Coffeemaster filters. I've purchased all of the the ones I've ever used on ebay. If you get the filter frame for the cloth filter you can use a small french press filter in place of the filter clothes, which are difficult at best to find. If you desire a clearer brew than the french press filter alone provides, place a 3" paper coffee filter on top of the french press mesh. I personally prefer using the mesh without the paper as I don't care for the flavor imparted by paper. It is true as Tom said, you get a clearer brew with the cloth filter, but you can't beat the ease of cleanup when you use a Cory glass rod, the New Cory filter rod is the best, also check out ebay for these. They filter much better than the Silex glass rod, I've used both and the Cory is better. In fact, in my experience I've noticed less sediment in the finshed brew using the Cory rod as opposed to the mesh filter alone. It's fun to experiment using all the options until you find the one you like best. Also, keep in mind that if you do use the cloth filter you have to clean it after each use, and don't use soap or detergent, it will adversely effect the flavor of your coffee. When I used the cloth filter for a while, I would rinse it out throughly, then place it in a small jar of water in the refrigerator. Once a week boil it in water with baking soda, the rinse well. It's a hassle! Hence the glass rod, LOL. BTW, if you can get the top bowl off when the pot is hot, I'd just contiue to use it this way, after all you have to take the top bowl off before you can pour the coffee anyway, and presumably you would be doing this while the pot is hot, so save the $, and spend them on getting a filter set up that you like.

Thanks
Eddie and Tom for the info and advice with this.
I've thought the same thing Eddie about leaving well enough alone. What I've been doing is.. After use, I clean, and get the gasket hot enough for me to get it together with the glass rod I have in place. And it's stored that way. When I'm ready to use, it's too hard to get apart, so I measure out the amount of water and pour it down the top, making sure it runs down to the bottom, then I put the grounds in the top, plug in and go. Of course when it hot it comes apart. Its when it cold that I fight to pull apart, or worse to get together. | ||

You may also want to do a Ebay search on Sunbeam Coffee Filters too. I have found some of the cloth ones available without the mention of Coffeemaster in the auction. They were the correct filters. Both of my C-30 Coffeemasters came with cloth filter frames. I do have a metal mesh filter for a Sunbeam Coffeemaster C-50 though. | ||

Hi Guys
got the new gasket and am having a hell of a time getting the old one off!
I should have ordered the smaller inner seal as well, guess that's may be next. It's so hard that I'm trying to boil it to soften and work off a little at a time. Any other suggestions? Thanks | ||

To remove mine I just grabbed the edges of the rubber seal with my fingers and then with my thumbs pushed outward on the metal center while pulling back with my fingers and the metal part just popped right out. | ||

Couldn't get
Anything to pop out LOL
This thing was so dry and hard! Had to keep it hot in order to get any pliability. Took a while, but got it out. But looks like I've got to order the smaller rubber piece too. Then remember how it all went together ! | ||

Originally, that was all one piece with pockets for the spring between the inner outer rings and a pocket for the small metal plate in the middle in the inner part of the ring. I used to replace them on mine when I could still get the originals from Sunbeam. | ||

Thanks Tom
That explains part of the problem I had getting the old one off.
As it was coming loose, it looked the way you described. Here a pic of the new gasket. I thought the secondary gasket was Bakelite until it started coming apart! | ||

Seal intallation? How did you reassemble? when I got my seal, it does not fit the base well and has too much room for the threads to engage. Also, I see on another thread that you left out the spring (thing with the teeth). | ||
