Mmmmm... latte

Some personal minutiae about my day.

Went for a walk this morning along the public trails. It's really starting to heat up early now, and I was perspiring lightly towards the end. The sun was out and it's just beautiful weather this morning.

On the way home, I swung by Safeway for a Starbucks. The sugar in the latte probably offsets the exercise, but - aw, heck - today I felt like a treat.

This leads me to a related question I want to throw out there. The paint on my coffee machine's hot plate has started to chip. There are a few small patches now where the glass pot touches the metal directly.

Is this something to be concerned about, in terms of the heat cracking the pot?

The hot plate on my cheap coffeemaker is uncovered metal and I've never had a problem with it, so I assume yours would be ok.

Sounds like you had a great morning. :)

Ah, I see - thanks for the info. Terry. I'm guessing that hot plate doesn't get to a very high temperature anyways.

Re: the latte. I probably should've clarified in the post, I had one of those fancy things - dolche whatever. A regular latte doesn't have sugar in it, obviously.
