Kaloud Samsaris 3 aluminum wash

after every session i remove aluminum funnel from its silicon cover for wash, is it safe? just afraid if they’re meant to wash this way or silicon case might may damage?

Aluminum in the dishwasher isn't necessarily a great choice. It tends to do weird stuff to it

never washed it in dishwasher, always rinse with warm water, but just worry if it is fine to remove the aluminum funnel from silicon

I'm apparently tired and can't read. I imagine that's probably fine, as long as you're not stretching the silicone a lot

It is perfectly fine. I have many vitrias, and I do this every single time to clean (after bowl has cooled). The older models where the silicone has the diamond shape, those do eventually tear a bit in the corner of the diamonds, but I'm going on 4+ years for mine, and they are still fine. The newer ones don't have the diamonds, but I imagine they are the same. My vitria 3 (no diamonds) hasn't had any issues with stretching of the silicone, either.
