ive banged the beaker a few times and i would always get nervous that i broke it but nope. i started boiling some water, put my coffee mug next to the beaker like i always do. as i walk out of the kitchen i hear a loud noise. i thought it was the strainer falling or something. i walk back in and find the beaker in the sink broken.

when i bought it people complained it would break easily but i found it was pretty good. not sure i would expect many glass objects to survive the fall it took.

i dont have an alternate method to make coffee at home so ive just been relying on the gas station. that all changes tomorrow...as long as it doesnt get here broken lol
