Bialetti Moka Express 18 cups coffee maker

Some basic rules

The first rule to keep in mind is to never use soaps or other detergents. In fact, these products are too aggressive and could leave a really unpleasant taste in the coffee pot. For the Moka, the dishwasher is also off limits: it could, in fact, alter the surface of the material.

• For daily upkeep, simply rinse the Moka pot under running hot water.
• Once the coffee maker has cooled down, it must be disassembled by removing the funnel.
• Set aside the coffee grounds.
• Finally, thoroughly rinse each component of the coffee maker. 
• Use a clean cloth to dry the clean Moka: it is important not to reassemble it until all the parts are completely dry. This step helps avoid the risk of oxidation.
