Maybe nothing. The notion of ‘seasoning’ the pot, if that’s a thing at all, may be more relevant to the aluminum ones. Aside from the factory recommended initial 3 priming brews.
Just below valve. Tried several grinds, hot and cold starts. No significant effect.
BUT, as mentioned under other comment, watching Hoffman and Wired Gourmet’s vids helped a lot.
Apparently the default Mokka pot guidance just results in sub-par coffee. But probably good enough for casual drinkers.
I’m past the rubicon on coffee expectations though. It wasn’t cutting it for me.
Main thing seems to be stop brewing before you hit the famous sputtering gurgle. Either less water in or just stop the heat once you hit goal volume.
With optional fussiness around moving pot on/off heat to manage temperature and flow.
Fussy town. But that’s where I live.
Thanks, helpful. Hoffman mentions Wired Gourmet’s video (link 👇) which I also found helpful.
Initial experiment was a definite improvement.

Do you have trouble with the button on your Fellow kettle? I’ve got that one too. I have to mash the button multiple times to get it on or off.
Happy so far w an ECM (sister company) Mechanika. Very similar looking build and materials.
You’ve got more knobs to twiddle it looks like. Enjoy!
