Q&A About Moka Pot Cleaning and Maintenance
Q: What should I do if the Moka pot develops oxidation spots during use?
A:
- The traditional Moka pot is made of aluminum alloy, and oxidation spots are inevitable during use. Additionally, coffee contains acidic substances that may cause changes in the color of the aluminum when it comes into contact. Therefore, proper cleaning and storage are essential.
- If oxidation spots do occur, don't worry. We use food-grade aluminum materials, which are safe and harmless to humans.
- If oxidation spots appear, you can try using lemon juice or vinegar to clean the spots (results are not guaranteed).
Q: How should I clean the Moka pot after use?
A:
After each coffee brewing session, rinse the pot with warm water and clean it without using steel wool or abrasive cleaning agents. Avoid using strong detergents or putting the pot in the dishwasher. Pay attention to the top rubber gasket and the filter plate, as they can accumulate coffee oils. Clean the gasket and filter carefully to prevent deterioration. After cleaning, store the top part, spout, and bottom part in a well-ventilated area, ready for the next use.
Q: How should I maintain the Moka pot when not in use for long periods?
A:
It's recommended to regularly check and replace the rubber gasket to prevent aging, which could affect coffee flavor and extraction efficiency. For long-term storage, the Moka pot can be stored in a paper or cloth box in a dry and well-ventilated area.
Usage Notes:
- Always add coffee grounds when brewing, as using hot water alone may cause safety hazards.
- Avoid excessive heat when heating the Moka pot, as it could damage the pot.
- Do not open the pot lid randomly while brewing, as the liquid may spray and cause burns.
