Mould inside base of 6 cup Bialetti Moka Express.

I have a 6 cup Bialetti Moka Express. The base moulds incredibly quickly if unused for even 1 day, whether left separated from the upper section or not. Any ideas? Is there a problem with the small valve on the side of the base?
I have a similar, smaller product from another manufacturer. There has never been a problem with it in 6 years of use.

What do you mean "moulds"?

There is a tiny pin at the top where the handle slides into a slot between 2 aluminum walls. That pin needs to be "punched" out. I used a nail and hammer, but a tiny nail punch might be safer if you have one.

I just bought the Bialetti Moka Sound 6 cups for 1 day. And it is not sound. What should I do? I have read one said that I have to change the battery at knob but I have no idea to open it at all. Anyway,...

First I'm not a Bialetti tech. But I have worked on may brands of professional espresso machines.
* When you mentioned this stove top model 'sounds off' I just had to check it out. The you tube videos are going nuts over this 'cute' brewer. Especially the Italian tubers.
* I found a link for you to change the battery. It's more obvious on the white cap model. So I'm guessing you have the black knob style (or they changed it to make it more visible.) Cute music but notice all the vids have the steaming louder than the music.

6 cup moka express only making 1 cup of coffee

Sat on the stove and did nothing! Fire the credent!!!Is the water getting hot enough? Here is an idea, take it back to the store and get a dufferent model, or a straight across echange.I have a notion to buy one just to take it apart and see whats going on, There are so many on this forum I don't knpw whythey are bothered wirh. No offense to your preference and good taste but if twas and seriously fond of expresso, buy one at a t a restaraunt supply store. I'm sorry that was not an answer abd I know those machines are way over priced. It is frustrating me and I don't care for expresso myself. Take it bake and raise cain over it.. Expired warrantee or not. Send me a copy of the receipt and I'll write or call the manufacturer myself. Let me have their phone number, also. Ned Cook
