1. Remove the pot from heat after brewing and let the metal cool completely before taking it apart.
2. Grip the upper and lower chambers rather than twisting by the handle. Remove the funnel and discard the used coffee grounds.
3. Hand-rinse the aluminum Moka Express parts in clean warm water. For this model, Bialetti advises against detergent and dishwasher cleaning.
4. Avoid abrasive scourers and visually inspect the filter holes and gasket. If a seal is cracked, distorted or leaking, check the manufacturer's matching replacement parts.
5. Wipe with a soft cloth, then allow the components and threads to dry thoroughly. Do not dismantle the safety valve or probe it with sharp objects.
6. Store only when thoroughly dry, with ventilation. Before the next use check the gasket, filter and valve, and follow the manual for any maintenance or replacement.
