coffee ice cubes

i've had this idea of coffee ice cubes although now i'm thinking espresso ice cubes might be slightly better of an idea :)  perhaps then, one may use an esp. ice cube in their water to add some flavor. one shot per cube?
i would suggest not pouring hot coffee right into the plastic tray, but cool it first.  that's just coming from a guy that's not a big fan of plastics and food.  my grandparents had metal ice cube trays, and 70 years later the grandkids now have them. not everyone participates in the "reduce and reuse" part of the cycle.
"It's long been known that infinitesimal bits of plastic get into our food from containers. The process is called "leaching" or "migration." The chemical industry acknowledges that you can't avoid this transfer, noting on its web site that "[v]irtually all food packaging materials contain substances that can migrate into the food they contact."
The amounts are small, says Laura Vandenberg, PhD, postdoctoral fellow in biology at Tufts University in Boston. "But almost any plastic container can be expected to leach trace amounts of plastics into food," she says.  http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/cookware-plastics-shoppers-guide-to-food-safety 

TISC Studios promotes quality over quantity and is against the idea of Planned Obsolescence.
