lilmod – I would conclude the same as you. However, I can imagine a case where you are not traveling that the Noda B’Yehuda may apply – suppose somebody must attend a business meeting in a Starbucks. Of course you can order an espresso or Americano which poses no issue at all (because the espresso machine parts are not washed with anything else). But if the person doesn’t drink espresso, it might be considered to be the b’dieved case of the Noda B’Yehuda.
