My Vintage Kitchen: Espresso Cups

What is it?
Set of 4 Carlo Giannini espresso cups. These are made of plastic and stainless steel. They were made in Italy. A google search reveals that these were made in white, black and red. This site claims that they were seen on Star Trek! 
Where did I get it?
I picked these up in a thrift store in Toronto for two dollars each. Given their claim to fame, I think that was a steal!
Do I use it?
I have not used these yet. I do not drink that much espresso and the handle seems like it would be difficult to maneuver. In the kitchen of my dreams these beautifully designed cups will have a place of honour, until then they take up space in my cupboard!
