Синий свет - лечим

Recently, I obtained two new ways to enjoy coffee: an Aeropress and a Moka pot. The trickier of the two is the Moka, and I found that out the hard way. I didn't know that you can't just put an aluminum Moka pot and aluminum utensils into the dishwasher. This was a huge mistake since aluminum oxidizes after this kind of treatment. Very aggressive chemicals and hot water cause the surface to get covered with dark gray dust, and I had to clean it with an ultrasonic toothbrush afterward. 

Moreover, a Moka pot shouldn't be washed with soap at all since its surface is protected by a tiny film of coffee oil. Now I know, and I haven't regretted for a single minute buying a cheap Chinese replica instead of the original Bialetti Moka. Now that I know all these things, I'm finally ready to buy the original one.
