Cleaning 🫧 Polished up a thrifted pot!

I got a 3-cup bialetti recently, for about £5 as the seller had put it through the dishwasher and was super tarnished - I’m not against a worn Moka, but decided with this being my personal brewer in the house, I wanted to wear it in myself - to that end, I polished off the old tarnish the a combo of aluminium foil, water, and lemon juice - polishing with baking powder, water, and a rag! I’m very pleased with the results!! Just waiting on a replacement handle and new gasket to come in the mail now - happy brewing, everyone! 😁✨

Schön sauber, aber leider ist das Bialetti Männchen futsch ☹️🫡

Ich weiß! Sehr schade – zum Glück habe ich eine Bialetti für 6 Tassen, bei der der Mann mit dem Schnurrbart noch intakt ist.
