That 3D printed portafilter handle snapped mid-pull, coffee everywhere, 6AM

Printed one of those cool ribbed handles for my Gaggia last month, looked great, felt great. This morning it just gave up right as the pump kicked in. Hot water and grounds sprayed my whole counter, took 20 minutes to clean. I used PLA, should I have used PETG or ABS? Also thinking about just buying a metal one and wrapping it in leather instead. Anyone else had a printed part fail at the worst possible time?
