Delicious Chemistry @ Home
We have a bit of a problem, or more technically speaking, the author does. I break glass. The nicer it is, the more likely it is to shatter once I get my hands on it. I’ve had the great wine glasses – you know the ones, giant bulbous crystal Riedel jobs made for one specific varietal in one specific region…but I digress.
The reason I bring up my problem is because I broke one (or maybe 2) of these coffee makers. And it sucked. Yeah, it sucked picking up all the shards from the kitchen floor, but what really sucked was that we ultimately ended up replacing it (due to my little “issue”) with a “real” coffee maker. So now I don’t get the delicious, nutty brew that looks oh-so-damn good when it drips down into that beautiful chem-lab-come-home glass pot. There was something so satisfying about seeing the slightly brown bubbles floating in it, having to pour the hot water in oneself, filterfull by filterfull.
But here’s the deal: three strikes and you’re out. And yup, I broke three of these suckers. So from here out it’s stainless carafe for me.
For you?
