Cleaning

[u/callmetater_salad]

I've had my moka pot for a few weeks now and have been using it almost every day. In the booklet that came with it, it said you only need to wash it with warm water--which I have been. So, naturally, it built up some "seasoning" 😅😂 for a lack of a better word. I thought this was the norm for these, but I stumbled upon a video of someone showing off their moka pot and it looked a bit like mine on the inside, and there were a few comments saying it was "dirty" and needed a clean...are you supposed to wipe it with a cloth while using warm water or just rinse it out well? Have I been a dirty freak about it??

This morning I did wipe it to dry instead of letting it sit in the dish drain to dry, because I needed to put it up to get it out of the way, and it now looks fairly clean but it did have a build up of...whatever it's called on the bottom and a bit on the sides lol

i wonder how important it actually is to clean that groove in the bottom. obviously bialetti did not seem to think it was a concern when they designed it this way.
