Hey, I occasionally drink speciality instant.

    How the hell do you expect her to go get some fuckin arabica beans when they're 70 bajillion light years from Earth?

    She isn't a snob, she's an addict. It doesn't matter how she gets her fix, even if she has to murder some transporter freak, she needs to get the good stuff.

    On the other hand, making the top notch pilot - you know, the one she sprung from prison because he was so good at piloting - also the assistant in sickbay was a questionable decision. Surely there was someone whose job was vacuuming the carpet in the crew mess hall, or some other less critical job, who could help in sickbay during emergencies, and not your top pilot who could save everyone's lives with his piloting skills.

    Sorry. This always bugs me. I agree with you about Tuvix, but Janeway made some pretty odd decisions that everyone ignores in favor of Tuvix.

    this is classic anti-Janeway rhetoric and I won't stand for it!

    If your replicated coffee goes cold while you read reports on your PADD, do you have to breakdown and re-replicated the coffee and mug just to get it hot again? (Assuming Kes isn't nearby to freshen it up for you.)

    The Doctor is a projection of the electromagnetic and force fields. Microwaves are projections of electromagnetic fields.

    Why couldn't B'Elanna rig up some projector to localize a microwave beam and follow your coffee cup? You could call it the ECH (Everyday Coffee Heater) since it was based off the Doctor.

    this sounds like a great way to get stale coffee.

    Also wouldn't it be easier to just get the doctor to stick his finger in it or something?

    This is probably his reply... but I'd bet he'd do it if kess asked.

    I was going to say that this idea doesn't fit in with the lore at all. But when I think about how a lot of Trek tech has hilariously bad failure modes built in (e.g. transporter malfunctions, rogue holodeck programs, consoles that double as fireworks storage lockers, flame-throwers on the bridge), accidentally cooking crew-members insides for want of perpetually hot coffee is weirdly on brand here.

    I vaguely recall a moment where someone reheated some tea or soup by just putting it back in the replicator and asking for it to be hotter.

    Edit: Actually... That might have been Spaceballs 🤔

    Janeway is the best kind of coffee snob.

  • Coffee addict, sure, but she never seemed particularly picky about it.

    I like her better in prison (orange is the new black)

  • She does complain it’s not the same as the “real stuff”

    I wonder if Pike is the type of person to brew coffee using the brewers we have today.
