About the same as smoking pipes and cigars, mebbee.

Don't scour but once. Thereafter, only rinse the lower and rinse and dry-wipe out the upper.

Good point.

I ordered a 3 cup. Target and BBB only had the 6 cup versions. Now to figure out where to get beans and a decent grinder.

After searching for the last few weeks I have finally found a grinder for my moka pot. It did not make any sense to spend 100+$ on one to get the grind I am looking for. I went with a manual ceramic burr grinder made by hario (mini slim) here is a decent video where it shows it being able to pull expresso and just up to a French press. I will post what I think after I get a chance to play with it.

Excellent! Keep us informed how it works. I had heard of this one several years ago; was thinking of getting it for camping. Good rep on it.

Thanks for the link to the Hario Mini Mill Slim Jake. That looks like a winner to me.

...I love the video too. Those ladies have had one too many shotz of espresso

After about a month of use several times a day it still kicks ass
