Steve,most people use silver or at least a silver coated chalice. If you were to use,say a regular cup,it would have to be new so as not to be "contaminated" and you would still have to purify it. You can learn how to do this on this site's home page. That's my take on it-maybe someone else has a more educated answer on the subject.
