The classic Bialetti moka pot is aluminum. While I have never tasted the aluminum, the idea behind not cleaning much or at all is to season the interior with coffee oils to mitigate this effect.
Bialetti and others make stainless moka pots. Never owned one, but I have been served from one plenty of times. I honestly couldn't tell any difference in the taste, though it seemed by totally unscientific observation that it brewed a little faster.
