Taking a shot in the dark here... Has anyone heard of/seen/own a carbon fiber portafilter handle? Once the containers finally arrive I will be beaming with delight looking at a VBM Doubledomo Super and really think that a carbon handle would look great with the chrome. I searched for reference online but could find nothing. I would think that an existing handle could be wrapped, but I have no experience with CF

It seems like the community has their hand in almost every aspect of life, so anyone have any thoughts?

3M has a carbon fiber vinyl:

check eBay et.al. for sources.

Life's too short to drink bad coffee.

If I'm doing it I want it to be real CF but I appreciate the thought. The way real CF catches and reflects light can't be duplicated even though places claim they can w/ vinyl smile
