Periodic “deep cleans” can be done simply by using a gentle brush and a drop of vinegar to scrub the inside of your pot. Bialetti's distinctive 8-sided aluminium pot features a 3-part system that uses pressurised steam to push the boiling water up through the coffee grounds: a lower water chamber, a filter coffee basket and a top chamber for the brewed coffee.
