Hi I have a similar pot (SS Stovetop Espresso Maker) and have been using it extensively. Recently I have noticed a few rust spots in the section where you need to add water. I am a coffee lover, can't imagine living without it and neither can I find a replacement for it in the area i live. Can anyone let me know if its safe to use the Moka pot after i have cleaned up the rust stains or is it advisable to discard it completely. Please help.

    There's no danger in using your pot whether it has rust stains or not, it's perfectly safe.

  • Make certain you clean it and dry it properly after each use.

  • Are you sure it's rust and not coffee stains? The ibrik (Turkish / Arabic coffee pot) at my parents house gets stained with use every now and again (it's coated and glazed on the inside so no exposed metal). I think they clean it with bleach and it removes the stains.

  • Thank you GdD for your assurance. Max, I normally do dry the pot after use, but I guess the last time it was used, was put away without ensuring it was totally dry, that's why the rust stains. Jun 17, 2015 at 9:51
  • NRaf, it is rust stains, as the section that has the rust spots does not come in contact with the coffee powder. Jun 17, 2015 at 9:52
