Is this moka pot fixable?
(lemmy.world)
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?
No CLR! It will pit the aluminum. I wouldn't bother with the water chamber, that's just what aluminum looks like after the aluminum oxide builds up. 2 or 3 uses and it will look the same. If you need to descale, white vinegar or citric acid used sparingly should do the trick. Otherwise just take steel wool to it.
Good to know, thank you. Glad I didn't have to find that one out the hard way.
