Every morning when I drink my coffee, I put it into a tall glass. I add the coffee, my creamer and some ice and have a nice cool iced drink that I can drink quickly. Nothing worse than getting a tongue burnt on hot coffee!
I have done this for a long time, maybe even a year.
Today, for the first time, I shattered glass! I always knew that it was a possibility with extreme temperatures. I also knew that the glasses that I own are kind of cheap and break easy. But the fact that it hadn't happened for a year made it go into the back of my mind, figuring it just wasn't possible.
Luckily I was standing next to the sink still when it happened, so I just set the glass in there. I got another pot brewing so that I wouldn't be too delayed in drinking coffee (that would be horrible!!). I drained the glass and threw it away (second glass in there - another shatter when it lightly tapped a bowl when I was emptying the dishwasher. Almost every glass is chipped somewhere along the rim, too! Maybe as these slowly break away, I'll eventually buy a new, sturdy set!
