Today I made the nozzle jets for the heat exchanger. The final 2" is bent (electropolished=food-safe) stainless 1/8" OD tubing. This constriction at the end of the line (the rest is all 3/16" ID) should accelerate the ingredients into a set of streams that mix better in the glass.

So the machine will recognize what kind of glass is in it?

No, but it will recognize the presence of a glass, and not pour a drink onto the table (which has happened on occasion, when users were SO EXCITED to be ordering a drink from a robot that they hit "go" without ever putting a glass in place).

Since the new stand is designed to put the bowl of the glass at pretty much the same height regardless of type (except Collins glasses), all I have to do is aim the jets properly.

In theory.
