Very, very helpful, exactly what is necessary for a truly thorough and complete cleaning of an "instrument" that you want to treat well and preserve for many years of use. This video of yours is an outstanding "keeper."

I just got my moka so I haven't had a need to deep clean it yet but for daily use this is exactly how I clean my moka! Great video and I will be sure to deep clean it like this when the time comes. Thank you!

Thank you! This is the real Italian way - preparing the moka with water & vinegar solution run through on the stove is the best tip, this cleans all the inner parts that you can't hit with a sponge.

am glad to know there really is a deep clean method out there for moka pot, saw debris at the bottom of my bucket and wanted to clean it somehow and thanks to you i know how now!

Awesome video, great explanation! Thank you.

This is exactly the video I'm looking for! Thanks Matteo!

Thank you so much. I got down my Moka pot1 as usually have my 3 which means I drink a treble espresso every morning. The 1 pot I haven't used for a couple of years and it smelled funny so I was going to get another. Fortunately I saw your channel, followed your instructions for a deep clean and now thanks to you I don't need a new one.

Thank you for posting this. Great information on how to clean and maintain a Moka pot.

Thank you for the descriptive well edited video. Side note, the audio levels are great 👍

Grazie Mateo! This is exactly what I was looking for and so simple. Much appreciated!

To the point and no nonsense.

Thank you Matteo. I needed that.

omg I didn't clean my moka pot for a year and just knew about removing the rubber to clean that part! will follow the vineger part. thanks

Thank you, Matteo! I haven't been doing as good a job as I could at cleaning my Moka, but I certainly will now!

Thanks for help Matteo wish you all the best!

Exactly what I needed. Glad I found your channel.

Great video… loved the intro. The content itself was very informative!

Thanks. My own routine has been all of the suggestions except the deep cleaning with white vinegar. I’ll try that. Love and peace. Tim

As usual, Matteo is full of information and good advice.

Excellent video. Thank you!

Thanks so much ! I just cleaned an old smelly moka that I put away years ago and it's like new 😊

Can't wait to finally purchase my moka pot! Thanks for the cleaning instructions!🙏

Mille grazie! I have been looking all over KZfaq for a video that would better help explain the cleaning of the Moka pot and the deep cleaning routines. I love my Bialetti and I use it daily. This video was perfect! Buon giornata, Matteo!

Thank you Matteo! I have cleaned my moka regularly, but not always correctly. the extra tips really help!

Good video Matteo. Quick and to the point after the beginning skit!

Awesome video! Instructive and fun to watch

Thank you so much for this video. It's pretty helpful and direct

Thank you beautiful soul for sharing your light for the world😊 Stay blessed🙌🙌🙌 🐼

Hi Matteo, Nice to have another video from you. Enjoy it very much though I don't use moka pot to brew my coffee. I have one ready on the shelf but still don't feel the urge to try It. It would be helpful if you can produce a video comparing the coffee taste, the pros/cons etc. with different brew equipments. I m sure it would be of interest to many viewers. For the time being I only use V60, French press and espresso machine. I m really looking forward to exploring other distinct experience. In the meantime stay safe and healthy my friend.

Matteo Grazie. I did not know this at all and I use my Bialetti everyday. I will follow your good advice.

thank you! quick and easy, i'll do as you suggested :)

Perfect video! Exactly what I needed

Thanks for this video. Super helpful!

Sweet video very simple yet very informative

Fantástico Matteo - Gracias.

thank you for your videos.. i have learned so much.. i purchased a moka pot to make a better coffee for my daily coffee enjoyment.. following your videos it has made my first brewing very good.. and now i have learned how to clean my moka pot properly as well...

Great video. Very informative. Thanks, bud.

Great video man. Thanks a lot!!!

Perfect, your english is so good. 👌 thank you for the detailed explanation my Italian friend ❤️

Thanks for the help. Love the wording "sensory characteristics" x)

Looking forward to your method video... great video!

Thank you Matteo for wonderful knowledge a great video

Great advice - Thank you!

First time using moka... Mate of mine gave me the moka pot... now I know how to clean a little moka pot( deep clean ) thanks bro,..👍

amazing tips ,thanks

Thank you for your info! How do you assemble the gasket back under the chimney part?

I clean my Alessi/Richard Sapper stainless steel moka pot with hot tap water and a soft brush. Then I rinse all of the parts with distilled water to prevent scale build up. I let it air dry upside down until I'm ready to use it again the next day. I deep clean it once or twice a year. My moka pot still looks like it did when it was new 5 years ago. Thank you for these great instructional moka pot videos!!

A very helpful video. I always rinse my moka pot and air dry; but I'll give it a good clean, as instructed.

Bravo Matteo! Great video, really well explained. I am cleaning my Moka with vinegar now. Grazie 👌

Thanks man - Love to make moka coffee, its art

Very helpful! Thanks!

Bravo, maestro!

I didn't know how to get rid of the stains in the bottom part - hopefully this will help. Mille grazie!

Hi Matteo, thanks for the video! What is the ratio of vinegar and water in the solution you use to clean the moka pot?

Good tips, Matteo! Never tried the water+vinegar cleaning method. Gotta try it. From time to time I clean inside the basket. You can pop the filter out using a chopstick trough the funnel part. Be careful to not bend the filter Maybe if you always clean using water+vinegar you don't need to clean inside basket, but if your moka never had a good clean, I recommend to take a look inside.

Grazie mille! I needed this information.

Thank you!! Very helpful 💜☕️

thank you for the very helpful and useful important information

Thanks for this.

Thank you for your video 🙂

Hey Matteo love from Türkiye. I like your videos and i think you are such a good person. Thanks for informations and thanks for teaching some coffe stufs. Keep going!!!!!

I got my first moka pot yesterday. I wanted to clean it but wasn't sure how to safely get the gasket out and wanted to check online before pricking it with a spoon - and you advise to actually use a spoon lol.

La mia Moka - che ho comprato nell '75 quando sono stata in viaggio a Napoli - compia quassi 50 anni. She still makes the best little shot of expresso! It took some time, but I finally found the gasket/filter replacements needed, and now I use it almost every morning (and I also have a Nespresso machine, along with the American drip-coffee machine). L'unica cosa che manca: vivere in Italia ♥

This is so helpful I have one of these and I always clean it after using it, but I don’t know how to do a hard-core clean.

L’unico video che sta spegnendosi modo semplice senza tutte le cavolate. Sto usando la moka della mia suocera da 40anni, e questo il modo corretto de lavare... grazie di nuovo.

I just recently purchased one of these. I had know idea what I was missing.

Thanx dude. Appreciate it

wo happy you cleared the silly advice (that I stupidly believed) about not cleaning the moka to get a better taste. I noticed my moka was starting to produce bitter and unpleasant coffee over time and realised that my cleaning routine (washing the boiler and top part with soap and never separating the rubber etc) is not good cannot wait to deep clean it tomorrow

Thanks! I really want to know how to remove coffee oil on moka!

My stainless steel moka runs every day so I don't clean it. But if there would be any longer inactivity of my moka pot I'll use your advice.

9/10. I recommend to disassemble the filter part too. Just push the filter plate from the bottom hole of funnel with chop stick and look and all the burned coffee there. Now you can clean it after every use.

I rinse daily, take off gaskets maybe monthly, deep clean with vinegar yearly at best. I have never seen any mold after years of this technique. I'm sure your regiment of cleaning is more appropriate. lol Great video.

I do some weird set up after I hand dry my moka hahah. I leave the lid open and I put the silicone/rubber ring hanging on the plastic knob that's screwed on top of the lid to finish drying. I don’t know if mold can form on the silicone/rubber rings and ruin it, but a few times I was in a rush and didn't dab the ring to soak up some of the excess water, i ended up though hanging the ring to dry hanging on the lids knob. The funnel I do the same away. The filter I usually balance it leaning it against the handle and the back of the moka. If it falls I'll turn it around. Because gravity. Or I'll just lay it down with the parts. I do completely dry the boiler. I hand dry it all. Except, well, underneath the sprouts tunnel. That I blow under. Listen to these tips. I'm fed up with reading Amazon reviews on their moka pots are rusty and oxidation occurred 🤦‍♂️. Read the instructions.

Grazie mille Matteo!

What a great video! Complimenti and a well deserved subscribe :D

This is necessary to know. Thanks for this video. Can you make a video of what is the process before making your first coffee with brand new moka pot? Do you clean it before first use?

Absolute pro

Ciao, Matteo - I live in Torino and only espresso pots - a small Bialetti and a bigger Alessi, the one they call the "pulcino". I use vinegar to remove the calcare from inside periodically. But the outsides of the bollitori (the lower space where the water boils, for those who don't know Italian) are blackened with the residue of the gas - the Bialetti very much, and the Alessi somewhat. Of course the insides are coated with coffee residue. I'll try your vinegar-and-water method. But I'm sure it'll take plenty of olio del gomito (elbow grease)! Thanks and ciao. Allen

Thank you great info. I've broken a few spray bottles with vinegar - sumthin bout the seals disintegrating. Hope rubber of Moka will survive vinegar

Thanks Matteo!!!

Very helpful.

Thank you for this simple, straightforward no frills presentation! My first Moka pot was purchased on an extended trip to Italy. When I got back to the states I put it in the dishwasher. :( I have just purchased my new one online and will not make the same mistake twice!

How do you suggest to clean the top reservoir? I get a good build up of residue. I've tried letting it sit over night in water, scrapping it off ( which is a no, no, of course.). What do you suggest for this? Thanks!

Grazie Mille Matteo!

Great video! Can’t decide between the Venus and the moka induction, which one would you buy? :)

I brew my coffee all the time with my caffettiera and it would take too much time to disassemble it for each use. Usually I just rinse it with the water. When I scrub it , I use a sponge just for it which has never seen any detergent and do it maybe every day. And disassemble it maybe every second or third day. Cleaning with vinegar is a good idea, I should try it. The most important thing about the cleaning happens before the cleaning even starts and that is emptying the pot immediatelly after the coffee is made. I've been making a mistake before of leaving it in and you end up with really thick and stubborn foul smelling residue.

awesome thank you very much

Thanks!

Thank You, very helpful! Do you think stainless steel Moka Pots seem less likely to leech metal into the coffee from the acidic nature of the coffee or vinegar than aluminum? Thanks Again.

Nice video thanks

Hey, thanks for sharing ! The bottom part of the machine has black/rusty colour inside. Should I be concerned? Will your practice in the Vedic also clean the black stain? Many thanks!

Grazie Marco. Non ho mai avuto una moka finchè non ho tralocato in America (lo so...Vergogna...) e non avevo idea che fosse meglio usare l'aceto :)

Thank you so much Matteo - super helpful video! Can I ask you a question - we recently replaced the rubber on our moka pot and for some reason coffee is not coming up like it used to! What could be wrong? The filter plate fits a bit more loosely with the new rubber - could that be the reason??

Thanks Matteo, excellent video. Any reason with you don't use dish soap? I find a tiny drop removes any residual oils from the parts. I'll certainly try the vinegar method.

Thank you.

Thanks for your video as always! If you regularly clean the moka pot after each use, do you still need to deep clean ??

Thank you for the wonderful video Matteo! So helpful.. I’ve had my mocks for around 1 month now and I have unfortunately cleaned it with soap 😢 If I stop now and do a deep clean should it be ok?
