My theory is that the cup is regular on the inside and the bottom is weighted to provide stability. It's raktajino. It's Klingon. So if a spontaneous heroic fight erupts around you, you want to

  1. Use the cup as a weapon
  2. Swipe the cup out of the way for the battle without it toppling over so you can then use it to toast on your glorious victory in the battle of the breakfast.

Fun fact: these were actually real cups you could buy (they picked them because of how weird they were), so there are likely unsuspecting people out there using them still today. They don't know that they're prepared for a battle at any moment.

IIRC people had laughs in Picard S2 seeing lamps from Ikea on that synths refuge planet
