I let it soak in a starsan solution.
I use this product since I am a homebrewer and I have easy access to it.

There is product made to wash them usually available in roaster or coffee shops or even Walmart/Amazon.

Or you could use CLR.

I haven't properly washed mine since buying it 3 years ago, I just wipe it with a cloth under the hot water tap as it begins to heat up and by the time I'm done it's hot enough to fill the bottom part

I think it would be better for the taste of the coffee if it was washed thoroughly but I just don't care and too lazy

baskets used in espresso machines are noticeable better when cleaned so I assume moka pot probably the same, you can really taste the difference in espresso from dirty basket

Does anyone else here use a pizza slicer to cut pizza, then let the marinara sauce dry to the slicer and not clean it, and then use the slicer with the dried marinara to cut brownies in a pan? It gives the brownies a certain je ne sais quoi.

Moved from this to french press. Faster, better coffee(or at least I like it more) and less bullshit. There are also more variables that you can adjust to make the coffee different and suit your taste with french press compared to moka pot.

This little cap in the middle of the steel moka pot is one of the reasons that make them infinitely better than the aluminium ones.

This way, the lid can be kept open throughout the whole brewing process without any risk of the brew spewing out and burning you/splashing onto the counter.

That piece of shit mixed with a Breville Smart grinder gives you a good espresso.

It's not a high pressure at all, and the velocity should be easily lost on the passage up the spout. It's not made to generate steam. This is not a boiler at an electricity station. It does not need to turn a turbine.

You fucking people are a mess. It momentarily pressurizes the boiling vessel to create steam that emulsifies the concentrated coffee into a creamy substance. Just like a goddamn Espresso machine.
