In moments of stress or contemplation, Captain Picard asked the replicator to produce a hot cup of Earl Grey tea. The replicator, knowing exactly what he wanted, produced the tea in an elegant glass cup.
The Star Trek: The Next Generation art department wanted the cup to look both futuristic and timeless. It had to be at home in the 24th century, but it also had to be instantly recognizable. Rather than creating their own tea cup from scratch, they looked for the best examples of modern, twentieth century design.
They settled on a glass tea cup made by European homewares company, Bodum.
The instantly recognizable BISTRO cup became so closely associated with Star Trek, that fans informally refer to it as “The Picard Cup”. It went on to appear in Star Trek: Voyager: Star Trek: Picard.
Volume/Size: 0.2 l – 6.7 fl oz.
Drink like a Starfleet officer with these exclusive mugs straight from the 25th century.
These brushed steel mugs would look right at home in Starfleet.

Enterprise NCC-701-D; and Starfleet Headquarters itself.
The mugs were designed and created by Eaglemoss and are limited edition; exclusively available through MasterReplicas.com.
The mugs are 500ml / 17oz.

The cups were originally made of styrofoam, whereas ours are made of earthenware. We've also added a detail that you might have missed. When the cups first appeared in 'Where No Man Has Gone Before', they featured an Enterprise logo with a wreath, but it never appeared on them again. With a little help, we sourced that logo from Gene Roddenberry's files at UCLA and have included it on our cup. The tribble is removable, so your coffee should be safe.
