Just adding a very crucial detail to the Moka cleaning technic, a very obvious detail that many people ( including me, until few years back ) don't take the time and the effort to do in order to keep our precious Caffettiera in the perfect state. I encourage you to Keep drinking good coffee and subscribe to my channel, thanks in advance to watch this video and to support my coffee passion.
Have a great coffee!!

My friend. All reviews on amazon for moka pots are bad because of corrosion. Your video explains everything! Thank you for taking your time and sharing your discovery!
I just washed my Moka pot and left it to dry. Now going to dry it up with a cloth. Thanks for the tip!
Mine has last 4 years and counting. Wash after use with drops of hand wash soap and a lot of water then dry sift a soft cloths. Stay as new as firs day. Hand mild soap is ok mixing it with plenty of water. The secret is dry the whole Mora before store away
This video is excellent, thank you! The second smaller pot is spotless and looks new.
I am with you when it comes to cleaning. Your advice as to drying is precious. How about thoroughly rinsing when washing? It’s key for the taste.
Bialetti says never use soap on the aluminum Moka, but you can use mild detergent on the stainless steel Moka. I have bother aluminum and stainless steel. I only wash my moka using hot water after every use then I wipe it dry with a cloth, per Bialetti instructions. Once a month I cook plain water in it to deep clean it. Bialetti says you can deep clean it with vinegar or citric acid, but I haven't had to do that yet. My Mokas are very, very clean. They don't need soap.
Woa. I didn’t buy a moka pot until now because I am a cleaning freak and whenever I saw of how the insides of them get for some friends I’d get put off. Brilliant video
thanks for watching and for your kind support. If you clean it daily you will love to use a Moka.
Great video. I plan to buy my 1st Moka this month. I normally use a French Press which was actually invented by an Italian while living in France. My great grandfather Francesco Ciaburri born and grew up in Foggia, Puglia Italy, use to take me into the Italian North End of Boston and started me on Cappuccino at 10 years old. I later learned to appreciate espresso but tough getting an authentic cup here in Florida. Sol, the Moka should give me the next best cup of coffee.
My great grandfather lived in northern Italy too! He was from Ancona and moved to Connecticut
is there a way to get away the rust in the lower part of the moka? I got a used one and it looks like the one you showed on the inside.
Thank you for the clarification regarding cleaning the Moka Pot. I look forward to watching any videos that you produce and post. Very helpful. Ciao.
Thank you man! Nobody says to dry it carefully.. Now I understand the layer of rust wich sits in my boiler.
François thanks for watching. I think that you should throw away your Moka and definitely buy a new one. As I show in the video many years ago I got a lot of rust in the boiler and in the upper part as well. Have a nice espresso!
Yes, I'm gonna buy a new one, the Bialetti venus. It will be esaier to care because of the stainless steel :D !
@@Fran4696 After seeing your video, I'm toying with the idea of doing the same.
As to the newly manufactured ones though of stainless steel, are they indeed, aside from their naturally intrinsic susceptibility to corrosion, comprised of superior and sturdy foundational metals, such as nickel, manganese or molybdenum plating, that perhaps would not only lend a bit of haute grandeur to the already exalted implement, but which would render the taste of the coffee itself, reminiscent of the pleasure derived by the most fortunate of men who had tasted the very first cup of coffee in Ethiopian history!
I use soap because I do not care for the smell or taste produced by the oils that will collect on inner surfaces, including the inside of the water container. Thanks for the tip about drying.
Macnutz420 thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

It's amazing what you learn when your Country is in Covid 19 lockdown. Thanks mate
jedifulla Where in the world are you locked down? Stay safe until better times and drink some nice coffee.
@@ilbaristaitaliano494 New Zealand. And same to you bro. Take care
Watching this a year later in New Zealand in another lockdown!
Great vid, nice and slow and so informative. Will go now and fix my boilers, they are very manky looking, bugs in the water, never would have guessed that. Many thanks.
Thank you for the video and I completely agree that you must clean and dry after each use. I wish it was easier to remove the gasket without damaging it.
I have always used soap and water after each use with the aluminum moka and never had a problem!
I think I messed mine up pretty bad. We took it camping and left water in it and packed it away. When we finally opened it, The base was just nasty inside. I was able to wash most of it away but there is still a lot of white residue and discoloration. The top looks great. What do you suggest to clean the base of the unit?
I'm sure water that was been added had chemicals into it by us humans and that could damage it and cause discolouration. A quick rinse and dry will prevent discolouration. I don't know why you'd leave water in it before packing it. I'm sure it needed to be cleaned.
Try vinegar and water and put it on the stove. Add two teaspoons in to the boiler.
1/3 parts white vinegar to filtered water, assemble Moka pot, boil until it splutters, wash, rinse, dry thoroughly. Don't forget to clean out the 'chimney' using a soft clean cloth wrapped around a slim spoon handle, be gentle!
Vinegar cleaning is my preferred method as mentioned in the instructions.
Grazie per il video. Allora provero' a pulire mio Moca senza alcun Sapone,solo aqua molto bollente.Buon 2020!
Si esatto, acqua molto calda e' sufficiente. Buon 2020!!
Would like to add that when it comes to cleaning my moka pot, I use distilled water exclusively, and indeed I recommend this idea to others. Failing that though, a good natural spring water will do.
Very good video. You have to allow it to dry completely. Some people will rinse and close it up right away and that does cause really bad build up
that is so true, let it dry outside for some hours is crucial.
Thanks for the tips in cleaning moka pot.
Is your boiler portion light brown/golden in color and less metallic than the top part? I don't have any rust or dark spots but it's definitely more golden than when I first bought it. I only rinse with water and clean and dry immediately.
Hi, thanks for the video! How did you clean the boiler? I tried coconut soap with soft sponge and the black spots didn't come off.
Also, what kind of cloth do you use to dry it? Is 100% cotton safe? I'm afraid of using a sponge or cloth that could scratch the pot.
I use leather cloth to dry it and I let it dry for many hours. Cheers
Thanks for the tip about drying!!
thanks for watching Anna, cheers.
I guess aluminum moka pots in different brands may have different quality in aluminum itself
Thank You.👏👍
for your advices...
I ❤️ LOVE
Bialetti..‼️❤️🇪🇸
Coffee I believe, was first grown in Yemen or Ethiopia, no one knows for sure.
Italianos some how manage to get their hands on it and perfected it to a science !
Now everyone in the world enjoys the fruits of their efforts .
Can you make a video about removing the gasket? Some people say not to remove it at all because it can be difficult to reinstall it properly.
I have 2 Mokas. The boiler is pitted from moisture. Is it still safe to make espresso with it? I have tested the boiler and boiled water in it to see if there are any residue from the boiler. The water came out clear. Even if it is clear, will I get sick from it? Please help. Thanks.
why is my mocca coffee spilling the boiling coffee outside, instead of going into the upper tank?
Hi Gionatan, thanks a lot to make this video, I recently bought a Bialetti Brikka moka pot. I want to conserve this moka pot, so I have a Question, I have used this moka just for 2 weeks. In the inner part at the bottom I see a few spots it may be coffee residuals, How can I clean that, I used light soap but no results. Other question is, can I used warm water with a little of baking soda to clean it..Thanks. Greetings from Ecuador
Thank you.
My roommate moved out and gave me an aluminum pot, but she took really bad care of it. I already have a stainless steel but I figured I'd try and bring this one back to life. It's looks very much like the dirty one in your video. What would you use to thoroughly clean it and remove oxidation? Sodium bicarbonate?
Hi Sean, I am not quiete sure whether it is a good idea or not to get that moka back to life, especially if is an aluminium one and has not been taken good care of it. You should consider its condition and decide on your own. I wouldn't suggest for anything else than a neutral soap and hot water, if it wont work then you should go for disposal. Aluminium if damaged and scratched can be dangerous. Cheers
Yeah, you're probably right. I'm perfectly happy with my Stainless Steel, but I would have loved to get the other pot to working condition. Thanks and Ciao
Hey, I have just bought a brand new moka pot a week ago and the top part where the brewed coffee should be changed color after first use. The metal is darker, brownish and has rainbow colors. I suppose it has happened because of heat, but after seeing other people's Bialettis that are shiny on the inside I think there is something wrong with mine.
I only wash it with warm water and always dry it with a towel before storing it. What should I do?
Can you place the Moka pot on the stove and heat it up with no water in it after washing to dry it by evaporation? Also, have you ever used a stainless steel Giannina brand Moka pot? I am considering buying one, very expensive and good quality material, but does it make good cafe? Btw I’m Greek and we clean our briki coffee pots the same way only water. You should try Greek/Turkish cafe if you never tried, different and also very good.
Is there a way to remove that brown mess from the bottom of the boiler shown at 2:48?
Could I use liquid soap, & what'll happen if I do use soap?
it is not really recommended nor necessary to use soap, better only to use hot water.
Thank you.
My experience is that you need a drop of dish soap to remove the layer of oil from the brew. (If it still smells of coffee after you ckeaned it, it isn't entirely clean.) Otherwise, the only thing to get it completely clean would be to boil the entire pot ...
Grazie for your videos! I buyed the Bialetty Kitty today. But you always use the classic Bialettis. I can not use an aluminium Bialetti because i have an induction stove. What you think about the Bialetti Kitty?
Olaf Zuberbuehler I never used the Kitty one, sorry!
I think the stainless steel pots are better than the aluminium ones. If both are in good nik the coffee is the same, but the SS pots are easier to keep clean, work with induction, impervious to water rust, the list goes on.
I need your help, guys. Is it normal that you can smell the sourness of boiling coffee made by moka pot? Is this a sign of aluminum-breaching?
Sour coffee is often the result of one of three factors, if I've understood it correctly: 1) The coffee grind is too course. The acidic notes in the coffee are the first ones to be released during the brew, followed by the darker notes. If the coffee is too course, the steam won't be able to reach and release the more "chocolately" notes in each coffee grain and all you get is the sour notes. 2) You brew on too high a temperature so the steam rushes through the coffee too fast. Lower the temperature a bit so the brewing gets the time it needs to build up the pressure. 3) The coffee has been tamped - packed down - so the steam can't penetrate the coffee sufficiently. Instead it passes through the sides, again releasing only the sour notes. - If the brew turns out sour, there's an old housewife's trick: Add a very tiny amount of baking soda in your cup. It neutralizes the acids very effectively, and in such small quantities a non-professional wouldn't notice it in the taste of the coffee. My grandmother also added a little baking soda when the milk she used in her coffee was on the verge of getting sour - then the milk wouldn't split in the coffee. (Baking soda can discolor aluminum so don't use that directly in an aluminum pot. It doesn't affect stainless steel, though.)
@@UrbanSikeborg Thanks a lot. I've figured out that my coffee ground was too coarse at that time. When i've increased the grinding level a bit, it's better.
I made the same mistake in the beginning. I forgot to add that carbon dioxide, which smells acidic, is released during the brew. Perhaps that could have contributed to the sour smell you mention.
Thanks for the video! lots of good information. Still, I don't know what's the best technique to wash it (specially inside the boiler, which now it's looking darkened). I always dry it up. ALso, I'm afraid of using vinegar or soap!
I only wash it once a week using soap ( a neutral soap made without chemicals ) and the rest of the times I wash it with very hot water the inner parts including the boiler. If you want to try to wash it with vinegar you can drop a teaspoon of vinegar in 500ml of hot water, it worked well with my 6 cups Bialetti pot.
Absolutely not, that kind of liquid it is actually most of time aggressive on the Moka and it can ruin it, you should take good care when choosing the soap ( if you want to use one ) I use a very light one and I buy it at herbalist's shop, and you shouldn't use any kind of sponge on the Moka, only rub it with your fingers. Enjoy :D
Awesome! thanks so much for all the tips :)
I use a non-abrasive kitchen sponge. It's difficult to clean the spout in particular without a sponge or a soft dish brush.
Yes, mine was looking like mold on the bottom!
Grazie!
Grazie a te Carole, have a great coffee!
No one had a video on how to restore..the color....would like to paint it..is it possible
Hi, how do you clean the funnel on the inside? Is it possible to take it apart?
The filter in the funnel is a separate part, BUT, if you look carefully - usually there is a dent punched into the side of the funnel's metal cup, (usually at least two buldges punched in) this holds the filter in place.
so basically to remove the filter to clean inside the funnel you will really need to bend that metal back to remove the filter and then re-punch it, that would of course destroy your funnel - don't do that :)
Try shoving something on a stick, like those gun barrel cleaners with a cloth from the funnel hole and clean as best as you can.
Don't stress over it too much, that part of the moka pot is not catching too much dirt really
You can deep-clean the funnel by boiling it in water with a drop of dish soap in a small sauce pan for a couple of minutes, then rinse with cold water, wipe the surface and let the funnel dry completely for a couple of hours before putting it back in the moka pot. That'll also release old coffee particles that have got stuck - you'll see them in the water. Works very well.
@@UrbanSikeborg ah dead on! I'll give that a shot!
would you say its necessary to clean it with dish soap or is just water enough?
Well I just found out I've been cleaning my moka pot wrong for several years. It does still make very good coffee but the inside does not look good I thought that was normal. Is there any way to restore it? Can I maybe try steel wool without soap? And I also did not realize I should actually hand dry everything. I just let it dry on the rack. I wish I would have discovered you sooner, ☹️
You can put boiling vinegar/water1/1 solution in the boiler. Leave it overnight then use very fine scouring pads with soap (Brillo) very fine steel wool.
@@stefpixwill do that. Thanks so very much!
Thank you. I need help with coffee grinder.
Thanks for watching Edward.
Oh oh. I never dry immediately mine after washing. Will start to do it know. Thank you! One question, I let it cool down completely before washing, is it correct like this, or how much time after using it should it be washed? Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi Monica, you cool it down and wash it right after used, thanks for watching!
Il Barista Italiano thank you!
Dude I'm sorry but the second moka has not been used more than a couple of times. Even if you clean is perfectly you will still get staining on the rubber and the rubber will start wearing down. Also you don't say how often it's been used. You may have it for 3 years and let it sit on the shelf. I do not have trust in the truthfulness of this video.
I've been using my Bialetti Brikka moka pot for over half a year now - I bought it after watching (among others) his videos and have been cleaning it with warm water and a drop of dish soap, using a non-abrasive sponge, and directly afterwards I've wiped the parts dry. The pot still looks new, like his. The rubber gasket would normally have to be replaced after some time (they are sold separately); mine has darkened a bit in color but still holds tight.
Where is the cleaning process??
You look a little bit like Manu Ginobili, lol. Saluti.
Karsen Kelley I didn t know who he was ( I don't follow basketball) but lets make this clear, I m way more handsome!! 😂🤣😂 thanks for leaving a comment and for introducing an Mba star. cheers
Uguale! 🤣🤣🤣
Probably better to stick to steel Moka pots. Even Italians don`t have enough time in the day to spend that much time cleaning and drying a coffeee pot.
Thank u
thank you for watching !! have a great espresso!
How do we fix the ruined boiler?
A stainless Mokka someday?
Is a stainless moka pot better?
damn my pot is ruined. thanks for advice. new one on the way.
My moka looks like the bad one. Can I still save it?
It depends on how bad it looks, but if you didn't take care of it so far I reccomend you to buy a new one. Ciao
Make more coffee videos...per favore! Lo Starbucks qua da noi sta andando dal male a peggio! Peccato! :))
Grazie del a tuo incoraggiamento Esther!! "Lo Starbucks qua da noi" Dove ?
Prego! Io sono nella California negli Stati Uniti e per me Starbucks non fa più la qualità
Non conosco gli standard di Starbucks negli Stati Uniti e sono molto curioso, In Corea del sud sono molto bassi per quanto riguarda il gusto del caffe'.
Il Barista Italiano Capito! 👌🏼se adesso sei in Italia, buongiorno e buon caffè! ☕️
I accidentally left water in the bottom of my bialetti, and it developed these white spots (but not mold).. I tried cleaning it with baking soda, vinegar, even bleach and nothing worked :(( it only made it worse! Does anyone have any tips on how to clean such a mess? I don’t want to throw it out :(
Ibolya Běláková this happened to me too! I once forgot it with soap and water in the sink and it got stained. Unfortunately, these stains won’t come out. You would need to buy a new one. Noting will remove the damage it only makes it worse.
Bravo
But what can we do about the spots already so hard to remove on the bottom of the boiler?
those spots are actually very difficult to remove, it would be better to apply daily maintenance in order to not let them form. cheers
Get a better microphone dude. Congrats for the videos, but the sound is not good
I was told I should never use soap/detergent to wash the moka pot. But you seem to suggest that I should use soap.
He is right that it is good to dry it carefully. This really makes sense. I don't like soap either. I just wash carefully with warm water and will now dry it carefully.
Jason Argiro x
A drop of dish soap won't harm it, but it will make it much easier to remove the oily layer after a brew. Since all parts are metal (with the exception of the handle and the rubber seal), you can do a smell test: If the pot smells of coffee after you've cleaned it, there's still old coffee oils left.
Dry it up. Thanks.
Useless nonsense, waste of time. Handsome man though.
I disagree, this is a good information, especially for people who are new to mokapots
So , is it okay to clean the moka pot with soap?
Well that is some terrible audio.
You didn't explain how to give stains out. Waste of time.
A subtle note about English... There is dry, dry up, and dry out. In this case you need "dry it out," or "let it dry out." Dry the moka out, not dry up. A language teacher might call this the instrumental case. After you mop the floor, it will dry out slowly. A flower could dry up or dry out. This is not a simple distinction. You can say my coat dried out, but the flower dried up. As a native English speaker, it is not easy to explain the subtleties because I never think about it. Ask a language teacher. Beware that most English speakers are not good teachers or know much about grammar!
Thanks for the grammar correction James! cheers!
