    Mine is something called a “Mobile Mug”. It’s a hollow plastic cup (polypropylene appparently) with a rubber friction-fit bottom. I’m just barely old enough that as a young law student, mugs of brewed coffee were still the most common legal stimulant for 1L’s in the library. I lost the lid years ago, but in honor of getting back to my DS9 re-watch mixed with new-watch, I dug it out for some French press rocket fuel.

    Then I promptly forgot it was on the table and poured the coffee into a random Starbucks-knockoff plastic to-go cup.

      We had a plastic one when I was a kid too and I loved it. That’s why I eventually discovered the HotJo one. You can see from the stills here that the ones in DS9 are slightly different (I wouldn’t be surprised if Highwave themselves did the custom job), but clearly based on the HotJo mug.
