Is this moka pot fixable?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
The top and water reservoir look alright. I would buy a new gasket and screen. After that, it just looks like it needs a good cleaning, and possibly descaling.
Looking at the pictures closer, it looks like the stem has some greenish tarnish in it, so a good scrub and maybe some vinegar or citric acid would be in order.
Definitely some elbow grease.
Thanks, happy to learn it's recoverable
