$55 for 4.

Tempting but I hate having dishes I care about because then I have to worry about breaking them or the dishwasher eating them

Got these (packaged) with my Bodum French press when I bought it. Then I saw them on Next Generation.

I thought:

Cool! They’re using my coffee cups.

Which is funny, cause they suck (too hot to pick up without using the plastic handle).

But they’re on Star Trek, so that takes some edge off their suckiness.
