So it comes with a working replicator? Because that's how the enterprise crew drank coffee. They got it from a replicator. :p
- Bones: "it disassembles your poop and turns it into coffee. Well I can still taste the poop" he says on his sixth cup that day.
I want one of those broad cone-based ceramic raktajino mugs.
- Search for Hiwave Hotjo. They’re slightly different, but they’re the ones used in ops for DS9.

  Woah, thanks! I always figured they were custom props.
Seems like the kind of niche items some small scale 3d printers could tackle.
- I thought you weren't supposed to make food, bongs or uh "other bodily items" with a 3d printer
  
  There's only like 3 reasons why you shouldn't, and you can work around those reasons fairly reasonably.
  The filament might not be food safe. So just make sure you use one that is.
  The extruder bit on the printer could be made of a metal you don't want mixing with food or vessels that will have food. Again, just make sure you use a food safe extruder.
  The way 3D printing works, you will have a fairly porous object. If you can ensure it is sealed properly with a food safe sealant so that microbes and other nasty stuff doesn't get trapped on the surface, it should be fine.
  Also since it's kind of related: They actually make food printers that print things out of chocolate. They're super expensive though.
  
  Hey, what a man, a tribble, and a 50 gallon blue barrel of KY do in the privacy of home is their business.
Well, now I'm craving a chicken sandwich and coffee.
