What Just Happened

The old one had a leak or a bad gasket; the water steamed or seeped out over the 20-minutes and then it melted down. Semi-bummer. At least you got a new one now. Brew on, brother. Brew on. Old gaskets get hard and don't seal well at some point. Not bad to change them every couple of years.

I had a larger moka pot that never sealed right and always spit out water right at the moment brewing begun. It saw an early grave and it's the samller ones from here on out.

The learning process for me on the moka pot was way longer than the relatively ease I had getting down the machine.

I am in NO WAY suggesting you ditch the moka pot and start buying machines and grinders.
