Yes, the aluminum boiler is a standard, durable material for moka pots, chosen for its excellent heat conductivity. Like all aluminum cookware, it should be hand-washed and dried thoroughly after each use to prevent oxidation.

While the pot is designed for a 6-cup capacity, you can technically brew less coffee by using the included filter reducer if provided, or by simply filling the water to the safety valve level. However, for the best extraction and pressure, it is generally recommended to brew at the pot's full capacity.

The chamber is made of durable, heat-resistant plastic and can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or rinsed with warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents, as these can scratch or cloud the material over time.
