Its possible. The just supposed to be dishwasher-proof and obviously it accepts hot liquids but maybe the heating and cooling just weakened it in the end.
Either way, in an old English phrase, its “up the spout”.

It’s a labour of love, I guess.
This sounds nice! Do you have a preference between espresso and Americano? I hope I got this right. From my experience, an Americano is an espresso with a lot of milk, right?
I would say coffee is the beginning of life. It’s like the sprinkling of water onto the seed.

Actually more water. No milk unless you add it. Perhaps is more similar to what a drip coffee machine makes.
Espresso is delicious, but there’s just not enough of it! Hence the Americano and additional water added, maybe to take off a bit of full flavor from a traditional non-American cup of coffee. I could be totally wrong here.
But I tend to like the Americano produced by my machine combined with a “coffee”. So maybe it’s in-between a coffee and Americano, at least the way my machine makes it.
The latte option requires a ton of milk. A cappuccino is maybe half to a 1/3 the milk of a latte. Lots of flavor
and foam with the cappuccino!

My day would not be the same without it. And I’d probably go through several days or weeks of withdrawal if I were to stop drinking coffee.
I don’t even want to think about that.

Well, you certainly know more than I do! haha
Perhaps I should get a book on coffee basics. I’ll add it to my list!
You know what I was thinking would be cool? To go to different countries and buy some local coffee beans. It’d be a nice story to tell while sharing. It’d also be nice to see if you can tell the difference between your everyday stuff and the stuff from abroad.
Well, if I want to go crazy, I’ll do a large Americano and then add a double shot of espresso to it. So in effect, 3 espresso shots, watered down. Add a little caramel creamer and man, you’ve got a delicious drink and the caffeine shakes for a bit!
I get a lot of work done!

I always regret this burst of productivity lol.
As they say, caffeine borrows from the future. So come time to sleep, I’m just there…, tired, non-functional, but wide awake. Aand the cycle starts the following day!
I’m reading this book called Caffeine Blues:
I don’t think I can ever quit coffee but it’s nice reading about that possibility lol

Ristretto espresso shots. Learned about them today. Finer grind and half the water. Results in a strong and sweeter espresso shot.

This is what I get but if you get it a Starbucks it will still taste burnt no matter what. 
A lot of that lingo is new to me. I love to hear people geek out about something they like!
