The cup is bottom-heavy and usually has a high friction substance on the bottom so that it's less likely to spill when you take an unexpected wave on Earth, or an unexpected photon torpedo on DS9.
Yeah I always thought it was kinda funny that this became "the raktajino cup" when I always took the cup's shape to be a symbol of how DS9 was this ramshackle station "on the frontier". I mean it makes sense that Klingons would want a mug that can resist spillage but when DS9 first aired I never thought it was anything beyond just a robust mug.
On DS9 you always expect photon torpedos.
