No need to re season, it's actually adding tannins and oils which lead to nasty flavour. A clean machine/stove top/tea pot etc will allow you to taste what your brewing, not dirt.

You'd get shouted at in Sicily if you tried cleaning inside their Bialetti. The thinking is the oil from the coffee residue is better than scrubbed aluminium.

Now I must strongly disagree with you.
The base, where the water goes in, needs seasoning to cover the exposed aluminium. When you have a new pot you need to season it to get rid of the aluminium flavour.

Clean with a wire scrubber. Then re-season
