After each use
Let the glass cool. Empty the water. Rinse the chamber with warm water so used water is not left in the base. A quick rinse is not a deep clean, but it stops the stale taste that builds when water sits.
A deeper clean for plain glass
Take off any bowl or downstem that comes apart and keep the pieces from knocking together. For plain glass the maker confirms is alcohol-safe, add isopropyl alcohol and a spoon of coarse salt, cover the openings and shake gently. A soft brush can reach open joints. Do not force a brush into a percolator slit you cannot see.
Empty the alcohol as the bottle instructs. Rinse with warm water until the salt and the smell of alcohol have gone. Leave every piece dry before you put it back together. Isopropyl is flammable. Keep it away from lighters and torches, and away from children and pets.
