I got one of these little stove top espresso makers and it claims that I shouldn't use soap and water to clean it.
http://www.bialetti.com/BialettiUSA.htmI find this bizarre. Dishwasher? OK - I can see that. But I've checked the directions multiple times and they insist only wash with warm water. Every coffee maker I've had, be it a drip or French press, have insisted on washing and rinsing well.
Now, wouldn't one find it odd that after about three weeks of using it that the coffee all of the sudden starts tasting more and more like crap?
Coincidence?
Anyone have experience with these things and can advise?
