#my theory on the cream is she stopped for replicator rationing reasons

[thresholdbb]

Yes, yes, coffee black, but what kind of coffee?

Arabica? Robusta?

Light? Medium? Dark roast?

Drip? Pour over? French press? Percolator?

Single origin? Blend?

Ethiopian? Brazilian? Colombian? Hawaiian? Kenyan? (Ad nauseam)

Paris Delight? Landras Blend? Paksor Blend? Firenut Blend? Even-better-than-coffee Substitute?

Fruity notes? Chocolate notes? Earthy notes? Warm notes? Bright notes?

Is it the ritual? The caffeine? The flavor? The comfort? The headache?

And why did she stop taking cream?

Since we know she has coffee opinions...

#captain janeway #you best believe I think this says something about her #she knows how to program a hot drink in the replicator #so she would be tweaking that coffee recipe to perfection #cause she doesn't have a coffee maker among the antiquities in her quarters #plus growing harvesting roasting coffee beans is resource intensive #my theory on the cream is she stopped for replicator rationing reasons #she cut everything down to bare essentials after caretaker #coffee? essential. cream? not so much #cause more complicated recipes might take more replicator energy and/or rations? #I realize coffee opinions were not nuanced in the 90s lol #mmm I need to go to sleep so I can wake up and make a coffee #I gotta tell you I'm so jazzed at the prospect voyager might be coming back it's most of what I can think about rn
