I ruined my espresso maker yesterday. A few days ago one of the mini welds broke on the wire handle. I thought I could get it fixed easily. I should have just left it alone. I’ve been using it every day for 21 years. It would have been good indefinitely even with the broken handle. But no, i took it to a welder who butchered it all up. It burned through to the inside. The welder had no awareness of what he was doing.

Today i made coffee with a P.O.S. aluminum one. I’m very disappointed. But I do have a new one on the way. Hopefully the same quality as the one that was destroyed.

Happy Friday!
