I received my Bialetti 4 cups moka pot compatible with induction hob. Instruction manual says to brew and discard coffee 3 times before first real use. A bit wasteful, I used some low quality beans for this and it was an opportunity to get familiar with the heat settings and timings.

Next time I should be ready to make a decent brew.

    A bit similar, when I got my new grinder I read you should grind ~3kg of coffee to season the burrs before actually drinking anything from it. Well, that’s massively wasteful, so I didn’t do that, but for my first maybe 300g I mostly just did cheap coffee and continued to use my hand grinder for nicer beans. Not sure if it made a big difference or not, but I’m happy with my cup quality now.
