I have been trying to find a reasonably priced hotjo mug for years now in the deep purple color. I saw a bunch of other colors or ones that looked close to the one I wanted but just couldn’t find the exact one I wanted. Well, yesterday my wife gave me the best valentines day gift ever! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a Raktajino to make.

    Ah, the HotJo Travel Mug. My favorite tea mug. I had it for years before realizing it was similar (not quite the same) as the ones on DS9. That is a new color they offer. I used to have a black one, but I broke it and dropped it and they don’t make those anymore. Then, for a while, they only made white ones. Finally, last year, they made a handful of other colors. I asked and received one of that color by my wife at Christmas. Enjoy yours!

      It is slightly different, but that is because the producers contracted HighWave, the makers of HotJo, for a custom version. Unfortunately, it’s the closest we can get at the moment. I keep hoping for a special run, maybe for an anniversary. Last year would have been the 30 though.

        Close enough for me, especially since it became my favorite mug long before I realized the Star Trek connection. That’s just an added cool factor.
