The base is SO easy to clean its not even funny. Very sturdy too, I don't have to worry about water splashing around inside the base and cracking a delicate little percolator or anything. The glycerin piece is a little bit of a pain in the ass to clean however, if you take a few minutes to clean it out properly then literally every hit is just a blessing for your day and next activity. We've named this piece The Emperor if that means anything to anyone.
