This happened about a week ago. I lifted the lid of the kettle (the tall cylindrical plastic type) and filled the kettle with water. I did not rinse the kettle as I had used the kettle in the morning. I boiled the water. Then I made a cup of coffee.
I drank the coffee which tasted as usual.
Later when the water was cooler, I poured it into a jug. It was then that I discovered a cooked medium-sized cockroach in the kettle.
So I poured the water away. But I couldn't do anything with the coffee in my stomach.
I do not dislike cockroaches, so I did not feel too bad. If it were a lizard I would feel more revolting. Maybe I would also throw away the kettle.
Luckily, I didn't get stomach-ache.
It is a lesson about not to be too complacent even with simple things. Otherwise, I may get poisoned, cut myself or get some other unpleasant surprises.
