Master Replicas is working with original design company used by The Next Generation's production team to revive the sci-fi-esque mug, after it was discontinued 8 years ago.

    Got these (packaged) with my Bodum French press when I bought it. Then I saw them on Next Generation.

    I thought:

    Cool! They’re using my coffee cups.

    Which is funny, cause they suck (too hot to pick up without using the plastic handle).

    But they’re on Star Trek, so that takes some edge off their suckiness.
