Found this moka pot at a friend’s relative’s house, they said it’s been in their family for a bit over a decade. It just broke about a week ago, but it seems like it means a lot to them. Unfortunately they’re a little too old to check out how to get it fixed, so I’m thinking of doing it for them in the near future just as a gesture.
Question is, is it possible? If so, what needs to be done/replaced?
Bleach is a good option too to kill bacteria and fungi if any.
The contact with boiling water, steam and hot coffee from normal regular use is more than enough to ward off bacteria and fungi that you would encounter in households.
And bleach will ruin it, so definitely don’t use that.
You shouldn’t bleach steel! If you want to clean the staining use scent free oxiclean
I believe the vast majority of this style is made of aluminum, but it may still not be wise to bleach regardless, and parts like the filter screen are likely steel
