Found this moka pot at a friend's relative's house, they said it's been in their family for a bit over a decade. It just broke about a week ago, but it seems like it means a lot to them. Unfortunately they're a little too old to check out how to get it fixed, so I'm thinking of doing it for them in the near future just as a gesture.

Question is, is it possible? If so, what needs to be done/replaced?

Looks like it just needs a new o-ring and a good clean.

You can buy o-rings, and to clean it you could trying giving it an overnight soak in vinegar, followed by a scrub.

The filter isn't broken by the way. That's designed to come out I think.

Bleach is a good option too to kill bacteria and fungi if any.
