Well Done!!!

Thanks for the reply and info.

Don't happen to have eBay links to the cup and lid by any chance?

And please don't tell me that the aluminum legs info was in the first few lines of your original post of this thread, but I certainly see it there now. How in the heck did I miss that the first time around?!?!

Stoker...I don't still have the eBay link on the cup...but there are lots of them listed on eBay...just search for "stainless cup 210 ml".  The one I bought of that volume was 7 cm wide and 8 cm tall...same as half a Jensen 25 boiler!  Of course 100% of them come from China if buying new.  As for the lid, it came off an old creamer I had in the kitchen cupboard...had not used it in years, so sacrificed the lid to the cause.  I drilled a hole in the center of the cup bottom and threaded in a 1/8" x 1/2" piece of threaded brass...PM research I think.  A dab of JB Weld inside and out and it's water tight!  The handle came off easily with a bit of careful Dremel work.

My lips are sealed, I wasn't going to point out the legs were of aluminum as noted in the first few lines
