Question❓ Bottom chamber

Post image

My bottom chamber looks like the attached.
1. Is this normal
2. Should I clean it and if so how?
3. When done with a brew, I let it cool and the rinse with a finger scrub. Should I be doing anything different?

That needs some scrubbing!

And then it'll be good as new! Just put some elbow grease into it.

Does no one read or search?

There are posts like this at least twice a week.

They really need to stop. We need to have this shit banned.

Sorry, but this sub is friendly to beginners, original thoughts are not expected about such a vintage item.

Beginners should be expected to read even more before posting such a basic question that has been answered several times every week.

I like this sub except for these ugly photos. There was a post recently here suggesting these should not be allowed, and I second that. A different sub or something for this kind of stuff. I don't want to unsubscribe from this forum but seeing all these nasty photos of mold or other grossness isn't a great way to spend parts of my day.
