I will very soon be the proud owner of a brand new Boka from FSD. I think I need to to do a cleaning/purging run before getting "real". Suggestions on loading the boiler, please. IE: Water plus detergent?
I am thinking of packing the Boka with new copper mesh before the cleaning run.

Heard fores is good to degrease the mesh. Perhps a citric based degreaser then fores then a sacrificial tpw run? Vinegar will prob corrode it but will also clean it not sure if its the done thing with copper mesh..Have read multiple times it very oily..

Our new copper mesh isn't as oily as it used to be.
And I think Arismac is asking about the Boka itself as he has plenty of copper mesh he won't be buying any new mesh.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Cheers

In that case with a stainless still and clean copper a scrub with soapy water thourgh rinse(be padantic rinse very well) then sacrificail run should suffice :dance:
