Italian term or phrase: coppette
From the same description of a coffee vending machine:

"smontare le coppette con i tubi d’erogazione e i beccucci" e
"guarnizione tra l’arrivo dell’acqua e l’anello della coppetta"

I don't have any more context for "coppette" here.

Thanks for your input!

Asker: I don't think so in this case because they call the paper cups "bicchieri di carta" in the same text. That was my original thought also

Explanation:
sottocoppa is filter holder so I presume that this could be the filter in the shape of a tub/cup, like on most houshold coffeed machines. Take a look at this site
