Some of my Bialetti and Alessis have a circular crevice at the base of the upper compartment that is very difficult to reach with a sponge or normal brush.

I share this because it took me a while to find a solution for this and hope it will be helpful to others:

I have been using these Ikea bottle brushes (about 1,5 Euro a piece) for years, and they honestly work like a charm. They will clean out the nooks and crannies while brushing the base and tube at the same time.

Apologies: I took these while cleaning the pot so neither brush or pot are clean!
