i have a stainless carafe where the hole in the top is too small for my hand to fit through, so over the last year or so it's had a slowly darkening interior from all the coffee stains/residue



after some trial and error, turns out the correct way to clean it is to dump some powdered dishwasher soap into it, then fill it with water and let it soak overnight, then scrub the inside a bit with a dish brush then rinse it a ton to make sure the soap is washed out

tried the same thing with vinegar as well as liquid dish soap and neither of them worked. apparently needs to be powdered for some reason

I have the same thing and have thrown a magic eraser in there and used the handle of another kitchen tool to scrub it around. worked great

and i guess, is there a big difference between different types of mokapots? steel vs. aluminum, I guess people think matters, and I see how it could from a heat conduction angle.

this is not a bad way to go but the solenoid valve is prone to failure ime.

op i know this is not necessarily what you want to hear but i would look for a deal on a gaggia classic/pro. they are not cheap but you can often find refurb, used or sales for a good deal (which is why i bring it up as even if you don’t want to get one now i’d keep an eye out). it will last forevvvvvvver. then later on get a capresso with as suggested preground beans or honestly just use your cheap grinder in the interim. it’s not as good as a purpose built but it’s way better than say starbucks.

also a reasonable affordable option depending on how often you want espresso is to get a nespresso. and if you mostly drink americanos or don’t necessarily require the crema or the super intensity of a straight espresso shot, an aeropress is a solid, low-cost choice
I appreciate the info; that sorta thing is possible for me, ...I just want hope to get something near it without so much money

something that breaks in a year isn’t worth it, so I know I gotta spend big if I get a real espresso machine. it would get used multiple times daily

I have an aeropress and kinda hate it. I’ve had nespresso a lot and don’t really enjoy that either

They also make a model called the Brikka which has a weighted valve that creates better back pressure and more espressoey coffee.
