** ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'': Janeway loves her coffee black.

{{quote|"Coffee. The finest organic suspension ever devised. It's gotten me through the past three years. I beat the Borg with it."}}

** ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'': Picard, on the other hand, prefers "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." Amusingly enough, this is not supposed to be a character definition, but a requirement of the replicator. In one of the early episode, Picard orders tea. The replicator makes him tea, and it's horrible. So he goes back and orders Earl Grey tea, only to find that it is ''cold''. Hence the line. Probably not an exact version of the scene, but close enough.

*** Of course, you would think that the replicator could just be programmed to give him the exact tea he wants whenever he just says "tea", but then it wouldn't be [[Rule of Drama]], would it?

*** Geordi once asked for some water, and it ''still'' wanted to know the exact temperature. When the ''Chief Engineer'' has to do stuff like that, the problem's on the replicator's end.

** Throughout the ''[[Star Trek]]'' franchise, Romulan Ale (a blue alcoholic beverage) pops up from time to time as a somewhat popular ([[Forbidden Fruit|If outlawed in the Federation]]) alcoholic drink amongst Starfleet officers, its popularity and contraband status evidently being on par with Cuban Cigars. Interestingly enough, in ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]'', when Kirk and McCoy are on trial for assassinating Chancelor Gorkon, their previous consumption of Romulan Ale is not brought up to merely suggest intoxication, rather than impact their overall credibility (showing that nobody, even people plotting against the Starfleet officers, takes the ban seriously enough to use their violating it against them).

* Ryuu Tendou from ''[[Choujin Sentai Jetman]]'', being straight-laced, super serious [[The Hero|hero]], usually orders milk in bars. Hot or cold.

* In Season 5 of ''[[Mad Men]]'' there's a scene where Sally is at lunch in a restaurant with Megan and one of Megan's friends. Sally orders coffee and puts lots of sugar in it (the scene cuts to an overhead shot of the sugar landing into the coffee and fades out before she stops), illustrating how Sally's growing up but is still somewhat of a kid.
