If you would ask me 6, maybe 9 months ago about my moka pots, I would not hesitate to say loudly that my most favorite one is the moka pot from Le Offitek - it seemed well built, made in Italy, with a nice design.

While the production quality is OK, the paintjob is terrible, it started to chip after like 2 or 3 months. On both of my Le Offitek moka pots.
At the same time, I wasn't really happy about the Pedrini and their "Frida Kahlo" series of moka pots. For some reason, the coffee brew was inconsistent, not sure why. But over time, these moka pots became my favorite ones. Also because I think I have the right size - for 2 cups (and also a smaller one for 1 cup).
Just look at these two photos - and I want to remind you that lately, for like 3-4 months, I'm using the Pedrini almost daily - sometimes even multiple times a day. But still, the paintjob only comes off of Le Offitek - to the point where I will end up having a basic silver colored moka pot. Yet I paid extra for a nice design. Disappointed. As said, as a moka pot, it still works just fine, but I want to have a full experience - a good coffee, a ritual, a nice, pleasant to look at moka pot. With Pedrini, this is now 3/3..
Question: should I scrape the paintjob of the bottom part to make the moka pot pretty again?
