* [[Garfield]] has been known to drink coffee so strong, [https://web.archive.org/web/20110815231120/http://garfield.nfshost.com/1997/06/11/ it can even eat a donut]... or [[Ate the Spoon|the spoon(s)]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20110815212902/http://garfield.nfshost.com/1987/12/01/ he uses to stir it.]▼
** He also likes coffee so thick that after a few seconds of pouring, [https://web.archive.org/web/20110816081756/http://garfield.nfshost.com/1984/05/29/ you can let go of the coffeepot and it won't fall].▼

** Also demonstrated by [https://web.archive.org/web/20130917222033/http://www.garfield.com/fungames/beanme.html this game], made to market a Garfield-themed coffee.▼
* Peter has brewed several coffee based drinks in ''[[FoxTrot]]'' that have this effect. One had Paige blinking so fast she thought there was a strobe light in the room.▼
** That would be the coffee-tea. Teabags boiled in coffee instead of water. And Paige didn't just have one. She had a ''dozen'' cups.▼
** Another strip had Roger pour himself a cup of coffee, which began vibrating wildly (as in, bouncing up and down on the table). Turning to Peter, he remarks, "I can always tell the mornings when you have to cram for a test."▼
* [[Gaston Lagaffe]]'s homemade coffee is so strong, it causes whoever drinks it to lose coordination and make uncontrollable violent gestures. After drinking a cup of it, he ended up wrecking his car.
** Not to mention that one sip of it made De Mesmaeker [[Running Gag|unable to sign]] [[MacGuffin|the contracts]].
Line 34 ⟶ 23:
* ''[[Hidalgo]]'' has a scene in which the Sheikh offers Hopkins a cup of coffee. He tries to warn Hopkins that Arabian coffee is stronger than most western preparations, but Hopkins just knocks it back. He then explains that back home, they test the coffee by tossing a horseshoe in the pot. If it stands up, the coffee's ready.
* ''[[Hoodwinked]]'': Near the end of the movie the squirrel gets a cup of coffee to run down the mountain and get the cops. They have to tape his message and slow it down to hear it properly.

== [[Live
* Cafe Nervosa from ''[[Frasier]]'' serves a drink aptly named "The Defibrillator", judging by its composition (a French roast with three shots of espresso).
* Dr. Cliff Huxtable, [[Bill Cosby]]'s character from [[The Cosby Show]], describes the coffee that he had back in med school:
