3. Indledende opsætning og klargøring

Before first use, disassemble all parts and wash them thoroughly with warm water without detergent. Reassemble the pot and brew coffee (without consuming it) at least 2-3 times to season the pot and remove any metallic taste. This process helps to build a protective patina inside the aluminum, which enhances the coffee flavor over time.
