Inker Glassware at Cantina Coffee -- Looking for Feedback!!

The late great Ischia is my favorite cup shape of all, and the porcelain is thick as all hell, with terrific temperature stability.

Cafelat Robot User Experience

If you could find a way to fabricate a piston out of acrylic glass (e.g., Plexiglass), that would be one of the most effective ways to deal with heat control, since it has one of the lowest thermal conductivities of any commonly-available solid materials. Even more effective if the portafilter is of...
