help with cleaning the moka pot

I take it to be spots of aluminum oxidation; all mine have the same. If you think you're headed for Alzheimers get a stainless steel pot - lose the crema, keep your mind?

Mine aluminum would drive you bonkers then. The bottom doesn't really drain well after rinsing so moisture gets trapped. I find if you dry it immediately with a towel and store it away with a paper towel in the bottom you can slow down the pitting but can't stop it. I use my Stainless everyday and it is the same as new, same great taste just no crema as Mr Moo said.
My 3 week old Brikka has oxidation already happening in the bottom.
