The aluminum moka pot can become oxidized over time and need a deep cleaning. For normal cleaning, soap and water is fine, but you’ll want to get a little more aggressive when it gets more nasty.

vinegar×1

Scrub as best as you can with a non metal abrasive. Stay away from steel wool as it will lead to corrosion down the road.

Use 50% vinegar and 50% warm water. Soak for about 30 minutes.
