a flaccid one easier to handle.QUOTE]

Very good points as well! But ultimately, t will be what the market bears. So where ships want customer service or crews simply want pleasing ergonomics, it will come down to something quick and cheap that works. High tech is not needed.
Add to that the fact that you can just buy a bulk package of "Juice for a week" which can snap into a standardized cabinet in your galley...it is quick, easy, painless and inexpensive.
Take your grav cups and burn them, we have what we need thanks
Mind you, this also picks up the one thing that is so very rarely handled in Traveller. Storage of food stuffs!. How much of your cargo bay is detailed off for sealed pack meals and either powdered or pre-hydrated drinks? Almost all of the classic designs barely even considered human needs outside the stateroom. A galley? To often that is a "what is that" item. IMO, gallys are handled much like storage n the ISS. Unless your ship is fancy, there are in-built lockers floor and cealing into which food packs are snapped. These packs are either classed as entree, Side dich, etc.. or are ingrediant and spice packs. Or are drink mix packs that can be reconsituted with water(heated or not). So the storage is part and parcel of the walls of the galley. The fancier the ship gets, the more devoted space becomes to real cooking and the more cargo bay storage is required fo the storage of foodstuffs. Of course, the alrger ships are easy to model after real cruise vessels where you can see the massive amount of room detailed to store things like food stuffs and passenger support items. But that is only a tangental issue to this topic
