Peeling within the first year often counts as a defect and many makers will replace the basket, so open a support ticket with photos and your receipt... For better longevity hand wash with gentle soap and a soft sponge, avoid soaking and dishwashers, let it cool before rinsing, skip aerosol and citrus cleaners, and consider ceramic-style or uncoated stainless inserts that may need a bit more oil but will not peel.
