Greetings everyone,

  Here's a new set of espresso work. I've taken the suggestions everyone mentioned and developed a new cup body. I've also modified the base where the handle is welded to so that it's hollow so that the cup body connects into it. I'll try to identify the changes point by point.

The rim is now more lip friendly (I hope) and so there shouldn't be any adventures involving lips, blood and coffee ;-)  I've increased the fillet edge diameter to be the same diameter as the handle, which is precisely 3/16".

This is still version 1 of the handle. Version 2 will come soon, which will be more tranditional in shape.

Concerns from Tom271 about the coffee dribbling into the pocket between the cup and the base has led me to change the base so that it's hollow, allowing the cup's body to fit in it. Hopefully that will prevent the coffee from collecting in a pool between the cup's body and base.

A metal cup will be too hot to drink from. I'll post a few little images showing glass and ceramic looks.

There should be enough glass in the cup's body to keep it from becoming top heavy and tilting. This would be a 2 to 3 shot espresso cup.

Critical comments both positive and negative are welcomed. Please let me know your thoughts.
