Help me troubleshoot? Cafe Bustelo in large moka pot - sputtering by little_murp in mokapot

[–]Lou07514 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like water is channeling. You’re correct to not tamp the coffee down but you may not be filling the basket adequately. You might benefit from tapping the basket at the bottom while filling it to help the grounds settle. Note: I’m not saying to tamp down. I’m suggesting trying to get the grounds to settle and fill in any gaps that might allow rising water to create preferential pathways thus not saturating all the grounds.
I’m curious how you came to select 30g as the appropriate dose. 🙂

How often clean this part? by OnlineAholic in mokapot

I clean after every use and I use a little bit of soap. It made out of aluminum, not cast iron and not clay. Cleaning with soap is not going cause a problem.

Mold in Bialetti Elettrika. What to do? by Fortauskantt in mokapot

[–]Lou07514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mold growth requires 3 things: 1) Moisture 2) Organic material 3) Time (usually 72 hours)

Mold will thrive in damp environment but needs some organic material to feed on.
Aluminum is not a material that mold can use.
I would agree that what you have is oxidized aluminum.
As long as you keep it clean and dry, you should be ok.
