This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. kzread.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.

You did not discuss cleaning the reservoir in this video so did not have the opportunity to mention one of the most important parts of cleaning the Moka, which is drying it. The inside of the reservoir needs to be dry before storage.

Thank you! I bought my first Mona Pot stovetop brewer (8 cups) two weeks ago and love the coffee it makes. There are many very informative videos on brewing coffee using a Moka Pot, but very few on how to properly clean a Moka Pot. I appreciate your dispelling the misinformation Moka Pots should NOT be cleaned using a dishwashing detergent. I use my Moka Pot at least twice a day so I give it a thorough dish detergent cleaning twice a week. Between dish detergent cleans, I clean my Moka Pot after each use with very warm water and white distilled vinegar; 1.5 cups warm water to a quarter of a cup of distilled white vinegar. I bought some inexpensive microfiber towels and a soft-bristle bottle brush to clean. the top chamber. I have ordered a smaller soft bristle bottle brush to clean inside the column of the top chamber. For stains, I put Baking Soda on a moist/wet soft microfiber towel/bottle brush. DO NOT use steel wool pads or even soft scrub pads on stains because they will eventually damage the soft metals (aluminum) most Moka Pots are made from and embed microscopic fibers on the inside. One observation, I suggest NOT using a metal instrument like a knife or fork to remove the gasket and screen and the bottom of the top chamber of the Moka Pot. Instead, use a plastic spoon or a wooden coffee stirrer to remove it. While most people might be careful not to damage or cut the gasket, some overly enthusiastic Moka Pot beginner could damage their gasket by accident using a metal implement.

Stop! You are going to ruin it. The aluminum is porous. You are going to permanently discolor it and give a permanent soap taste to your cafe'. Do not use soap. Just follow the written instructions it came with.

I have a 6 cup aluminum Bialetti pot that I completely disassemble and clean. I think it is easier to clean than the smaller moka pots. But instead of using soap, I use a white lint free flour sack cloth to wipe every surface with which removes the left over coffee oil as well as dries the pot. I also pour water into a cup and agitate the the screen in the funnel. Coffee grounds always come out of there too since I am using a pre-ground espresso grind. That is the only surface I really cannot reach with a cloth; the underside area beneath the screen in the funnel. With the 6 cup aluminum pot, I can remove the gasket with my finger nail pretty easily. I also wipe the threads of the pot. I agree with Il Barista Italiano's main premise which to me is leaving left over coffee oil and grounds will make the flavor worse. I also occasionally twist a corner of the flour sack cloth into the pipe the coffee travels through to reach the upper container. If you think I am OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) about cleaning the moka pot, I would agree with you. I do enjoy the cleaning ritual as well as the brewing ritual. I drink half the coffee and store the other half covered with plastic wrap. Microwaved the next day, it still tastes good to me. I drink it with no sweetener or dairy so if there were off tastes, I probably would notice them.

I always boil it with only water and it cleans it fairly fine. I once used neutral soap and it left some taste in it for a few months. If you use soap, do use a mild one and if possible one of the natural ones with flavours that don't collide with coffee too much. You'll be eating soap, but if it has cinnamon scent, it's not as invasive. I think that if you boil-clean it at least once a week, you should be fine.

I think that you may get some problem with aluminium if you scratch the Moka severely, and that would be the same for fry pan and pots as well, but I never actually mentioned to scratch, I only think that the tendency is to not wash the moka at all ( especially in Italy ) and that is the worst. Also if you noticed in this video I focused more on the dry cleaning in the inner part of the moka, and in another video ( in Korean language) I show how I use a very soft sponge to clean the moka with a neutral light soap. By the way many people have your same thinking and I wonder, try to make some Bolognese pasta on a fry pan and keep the oily surface for the next use, its pretty much the same thing, does it make sense to eat a carbonara on a pan with oily bolognese sauce left over ?

Aluminium forms a oxidised layer, so clean the oily residue, but don't scour the surface so you have to season it again. The oil is not helping to prevent the taste of aluminium, aluminiumoxide has got that covered .

Bravo this is what internet needed. To those who are saying not to wash with soap or not wash at all.

I think this is the way! A lot of people don't want to wash this, and they get VERY corroded and awful looking in time. I hear people say this is better, I don't believe it! I'm in Miami, it's very easy to get new gaskets, even clear silicone gaskets. I feel like some mild detergent or some alkaline cleaner would clear this up and rinse away easily. The suggestion to dry everything immediately might be the thing that FINALLY lets us keep one of these things in good condition. I'm going to get a new pot (a cheap one, sold everywhere locally, usually not even in a box) and try this, starting from the beginning.

It's very easy, same thing with French press, people often never realize you can easily dissemble, or just don't do it, but it's even easier. I do it after every use, takes like one minute.

I have the Bialetti Venus moka pot. I love the high quality coffee that it produces. I have found that, in its upper chamber, in the circumference crevice below the bottom of the upper chamber, some slightly thicker oil residue doesn't come out with rudimentary cleaning. Inserting some folded, pressed napkin or paper towel into that circumference crevice does remove some of the resudue. Do you know of a method or substance that will help to remove the almost invisible coffee oil residue from below the bottom surface of the Bialetti Venus Moka Pot 's upper chamber? Thank you.

Bro, it's on the instruction manual that comes with Bialleti moka, no soap! The aluminum is porous and absorbs the soap that then goes into your coffee. Plus the oil that you remove keeps your coffee from having metallic taste. Use only water and then remove any remaining coffee stains with a paper or regular towel.

Cheers

I'm trying a preventative maintenance strategy. I use a wooden pop stick to get the gasket out, use hot water, cleaning the spout with a paper towel like you do, then wipe dry. After that, I use a heat diffuser heated for 30 seconds, turn off the flame and let the radiating heat completely dry the pot of any moisture. So far, I have avoided having to descale the pot. To stop the build up of coffee oil and staining, I wipe the pot with a tasteless cooking oil after cleaning and drying it, then wipe the oil off. Canola oil is both tasteless and cheap for this. Again, I haven't had the build up of baked on oil staining the pot.

I love your videos and have just subscribed. I need to replace the gaskets on my 3 different sizes of Bialetti pots.. the gaskets come is sizes according to the amount of cups each pot holds., How do you determine how many cups accurately? In ounces or millimeters? The pots do not specify size, but I could measure the amount of water below the pressure valve in ounces or millimeters. What do you suggest?

Once a month check/clean gasket & rinse after use with running water will do.

What kind of soap do you use? I'm afraid some chemical residues are going to stay there and will get to my cup of coffee. How about using vinegar+baking soda or salt?

The next morning: Went out in deserted Miami FL to buy a moka pot, found many styles and spare parts, too. Bialetti brand was available, plus many superficial imitations, some cost as little as five dollars! The Bialetti was about thirty dollars US for the 6 cup Moka express. It seemed much heavier in construction. I washed before and after use with ordinary dishwashing detergent, rinsed in hot water, dried immediately. It's easy enough! The machine looks exactly as new, doesn't smell oily. I guess if you're not going to maintain this machine you should get one for five bucks and replace it every year or so? But you're still going to get rancid coffee oil residue in every cup, and also I just don't like the boiler to look all corroded inside. No, I think Il Barista Italiano has shown us the way!

Il Barista Italiano Well. Not really necessary. It is really very rare people being so dumb to made filter and valve both clogged at same time, but as long as 80% circa of Anericans and Anglosaxons are not even capable to boil an egg, it is better to advice them that any steam based machine (Home Espresso, Moka or even steam cookers) must be used with care. I seen once an American who didn't put water in the tank and she toasted all coffee powder to carbon, an error that I could made when I was 12 years old. 😨

Robert Caplin Considering the facts a very high percentage of Americans is not even capable to boil an egg fry it, or scramble it with some bacon, or in any case they are uncapable to cook any kind of food in order to provide by themselves to their upkeep, and the fact there are about 450 cooking home fires any day in US of which 30% are caused by misuse of equipments, with almost 500 deaths per year, please allow me to be a little skeptic about your statement. 🤔

maria I: I don't see the point of being rich and buying a new Moka with your lots of money if the first one had exploded due to bad maintenance causing you serious harm... It is better to advice you first and avoid you causing severe damage to you and any of your family members, teaching you that you are not buying a toy... And yes I am gratuitously offending Americans and I am dumb. Saying that from a country that requires advice on cars exterior mirrors how to use them: "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear"!!!!! 😨😅😯 Well if drivers in US are so dumb that require an advice to teach them how it works a mirror, that's not even dumb... It is just freaking pathetic and reveals you American are literally a danger for anyone else who cross your path while driving... 🤦🤦🤦

Grazie mille, barista! I didn't knew that I need to disamble my Bialetti Moka and now I know how important it is, in order to obtain a good coffee.

I tried not using soap at first I just washed it with hot water But it didn’t improve the taste, it was still bitter. And I stripped it down and use a little bit of soap to clean the metal parts and the gasket let it all air dry, the next time I used it, it made a huge improvement I. The quality of the coffee ☕️ . Grazie.🙏

Il Barista Italiano btw when do you replace the gasket? As mine is getting darker even though I clean it regularly

hi man, thanks for the video. Very usefull. I was wondering if you can tell me what to look for when buying a moka coffee (material that is made, etc) maker. Thanks in advance!

Hi Joao, thanks for your appreciation!! The traditional moka is made mostly out of aluminium and if scratched during the cleaning it may release unhealthy metal residue, there are several models made out of stainless steel that are much more safer to use and you don't get any metal aftertaste in your coffee, but the only thing is they have not the traditional moka's famous design. You can go safer or you can go for the traditional one but I recommend you to be careful in the cleaning process for the second option.

Oil ?

I've clicked the "Like" button. Say no more.

Just use a sponge No dirt remains...

Very hot water and soap with additional acid is great for removal of oils. Submerge the top half in soapy water & vinegar or ascorbic acid for 30 minutes then scrub before rinsing with hot water. To keep the gasket supple, or if storing rub in silicone oil. You need just a small amount, 1-2ml depending on the size of your pot. Leave over night then wash with very hot water and washing up liquid. To remove tarnish, that dark grey colour that occurs after long term storage. Bring vinegar and water to the boil, at 30% vinegar. Multiply the volume of water used by 0.3 to work out how much vinegar is needed. Place your pot in the liquid, let it cool until you can handle it then brush using a nylon brush. PS, don't use brillo pads.

You don't want to remove the oils! That is how it gets seasoned. Why do you think that the instructions tell you to make one pot and throw it out before you make a pot to drink ?

Do i need to wash it everytime?

Thank you.

Every few months I just clean by using as normal without coffee.

Thanks, do you know why sometimes the coffee begins to get out at only 1'25" with almost no pressure, and with no noise. Generally it begins at 2'15" with good pressure and noise. It is an stainless steel (induction) model.

I bought that, and I there's two stainless filter, should I use one, and the other one is extra one?

The patina safes your coffee from the aluminium Thats also the reason why you should throw away the first few coffees you prepare when the moka maker is new When you wash it with soap ita very bad for your health This dude right right talks about some dirt but he dont ask for the reason why you should only wash with water Company Bialletti which produce the moka maker says the same You should know that 😉

Half of my coffee grounds stick to the bottom of the top part of the pot. Is that normal?

I would have appreciated if you would have shown how it's put back together because I really can't figure out how to put the rubber back on it perfectly.

You just smoosh it back in there. Filter first, so there's a recessed area around the filter, then press the gasket back in, pressing around the edges till it goes in.

Does anyone moka's turned black after vinegar and soda?

A child`s small head toothbrush works well for cleaning the top part of the Moka.

but you did not use soap in your video only cloth , if you use what kind of soap you would use ? if you use it your coffee will taste it or not later? your experience
