Maybe the last bit is disgusting, much like certain earth beverages, and the cup is to protect you from the dregs?

They've thought of everything in the future

Damn what the actual fuck that is a good idea why don't they serve Turkish and Israeli coffee out of these racktaccino mugs?

Hooleeeshit

And you don't even have to worry about cleaning that part. Just stick it back in the replicator.

Yeah, might have s strong concentrate or sludge in the bottom like kahvessi.

My friend has one of these mugs! We call it the troll mug because the last sip is always bigger than you think and ends up all over you

Maybe it's for a drink that has a lot of sediment or something, there are beers that do that. That's my headcanon

I think it's a nautical design. The wide base keeps it steady on ships. Hence why it's used in Star Trek.

That style of mug became popular in the 80s, when corporate commuting and cubicle culture exploded, and cars didn't all come standard with cupholders yet. A mug like this could sit on the dash or console with stability, and it was also good for a crowded desk because you couldn't knock it over and spill it.

They're all just throwing back mugs of beer in the mornings while running the space station.

I'd have thought that the cylinder part was hallow. But the bottom part was solid. Thus. Seperate your hot beverage from your surface - be it table, hand, lap. No need to hold on to it if it's not hot on the bottom.

put your whole mouth around the top and invert it. just like drinking a water bottle.

[-] uralsolo@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

You don't. It's probably got grounds or something settled into the bottom and the cup is shaped like that on purpose to prevent you from drinking them.

I had a crush on her as a kid

[-] PorkTaco@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

She's still smoking hot

You laugh, but you'll wish you had one of these when you lose your inertial stabilizers! You'll go flying through the bridge viewscreen, but that mug will sit there watching it happen.
