Don't boil the water. Take it off the heat source.

Sure it can. http://www.bialetti.com/coffee/stovetop/moka-express/spare-parts-c-1_7_22_32.html or http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=bialetti+spare+parts&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=32661633397&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3217975301600862448&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_53u2x7ta30_b

Google "Bialetti parts".

I scraped off as much melted rubber as possible - using my thumb nail - then used a product called Goo Gone to melt the remaining rubber. I put Goo Gone on an old cloth and rubbed off the remainder of the rubber - again with my thumb nail.

I have the same problem. Scraped most of the rubber off mine with a knife. I'm going to try steel-wool next, as the whole thing is stainless-steel (or perhaps in your case, Aluminium), it should take a good sound beating.
I wonder if there are any solvents that would dissolve the rubber?

hey, probably a gasket issue or a coffee which is too fine, did you change your coffee ? See this page for a fix Avi

I emailed support at Bialetti and here is what I got:

Check the coffee funnel for any dents around the edge of the funnel. Normally if this brewing problem happens after changing a gasket the problem is a dent or the funnel is out of round and the new gasket isn't formed to it like the old gasket was. Don't bang the funnel to get grounds out or it may dent or get out of round. Try pulling the funnel over to one side in the water chamber and if you see a space on one side pull it tight with the other finger to bend back into shape if possible or replace the part.

Take the gasket and filter plate out from under the upper unit and hold the filter plate up to the light to check for any clogs right in the center where the coffee brews up. You should be able to see through all the holes in the filter, brush clean if needed

This happened to me, too....the gasket needs to be broken in so that it seals properly, which will happen once it's been used several times. In the meantime, just tighten the pot together extra tight and that will help to seal the gasket properly. After several uses, you won't have to tighten it so much and can go back to how you've always done it. I hope this helps!!

I would check the grind size you are using. Maybe it is ground too thin and the pressure cannot push through.

Also, remove screen and washer and make sure passage to the top is clear.
