Raktajino Mug (Replimat)
Klingon coffee (Raktajino) is available all over the station Deep Space Nine. It can not only be ordered in Quarks, but also in the Replimat for example, which is basically a large public replicator. But of course the Replimat needs to have its own type of coffee mug to give the audience a visible hint as to where the characters are on the station and to keep it recognizable.
It is such a mug that I got on eBay some time ago and that I am now happy to present here! The maker is unknown to me but the mug was probably a found item and is no longer made today.
As usual, let’s first have a look at some screenshots. This is a scene in the Replimat where the mugs were used:
And here’s mine:
This stoneware mug is absolutely accurate and identical to the ones used.
The handle is quite thick and a little uncomfortable to use in my opinion.
Due to the wide base, this mug is unlikely to ever tip over.
The manufacturer of this mug is unknown to me…
…but this exact type of mug is unlikely to be still made unaltered today.

This is awesome, thank you so much for posting this. ^_^
Recently I found a mug in a thrift store that looks exactly like this mug but is white and has an ugly logo on it. So this page will make a great reference when I start paint it ^_^
Your version looks awesome, by the way ^_^

For anyone else that is looking for this type of cup, the manufacturer of the cup I found is ‘Feltman Langer’ ^_^

Hi,
I am a ceramist but also a Star Trek fanatic. I absolutely love the Raktajino mug and wanted to make one. Can anyone help with the dimensions.
Regards.

we went straight to the manufacturer in venice ca for the mugs. they were thrilled to make us various shapes sizes and colors as we wanted to keep them sorted per set. like ops had the straight up and down mugs in green. replimat had these cutle blue ones, etc. it was great fun but we had to buy a lot because they kept vanishing from set.

Where you can buy these in Europe(I’m in Finland)? Have tried to search but no go.

Sorry, Raikku, I have no idea. I got this one from eBay years ago. Good luck with your search!

Hi Kai-Arne, sorry for the late reply. The base diameter is approximately 11,5 cm, the top diameter is approx. 6,7 cm and the overall height is approx 10 cm. I hope that helps.
