Common perceptions on Aluminium moka pots:

* They need to be kept dry as to prevent aluminium oxidation.
* Some people reckon you should just rinse the pot and not clean it completely, in order to minimize aluminium taste.

Ran into a situation where the cleaner put a Brikka through a dishwasher and then polished it.

My questions

1. Would it affect the taste?
2. Would it lessen chances of aluminium oxidation?
3. Would it affect the metallic taste?
4. Any other thoughts on this?
