Cappuccino Cups by BMF (or Morinox)
Designed c. 1980’s
No longer in production
Bayerische Metallfabrik (better known as BMF) was German home goods manufacturer. Their chrome and plastic cappuccino cups bear a resemblance to Carlo Giannini’s espresso cups; so much so that I’d mistakenly listed them as such before being corrected. The Trek production team seemed to think they looked similar enough, as well, and you can see a BMF cup paired with a Giannini saucer in the VOY “Prototype” screencap and a Giannini Venezia Moka Pot in the ENT “The Seventh” screencap.
UPDATE: A follower of the @startrekdesign Instagram informed me that these are also sold online as produced by “Morinox” and “Morinox Italy.”
