** [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Scotty]] and his scotch. When he pops back up in the 24th century he chastises a bartender in Ten Forward for serving him synthehol.
---> '''Scotty:''' Laddie, I was drinking scotch a hundred years before you were born. And I can tell you that whatever this is, it is definitely ''not'' scotch.
** [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Picard]], befitting a distinguished gentleman and intellectual, prefers Earl Grey tea. And though he doesn't do it too often, he comes from a family of winemakers and will break open a bottle of Chateau Picard for special occasions.
** Worf becomes fond of prune juice, dubbing it "a warrior's drink", and also highlighting the duality of his Klingon nature and Human upbringing.
** [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Sisko]] prefers Klingon ''Raktajino'' with ''jacarine'' peel every morning. When he ''doesn't'' order it one time, Major Kira wonders if something is wrong.
** Chief O'Brien takes his coffee "Jamaican blend, double strong, double sweet", alluding to the hard hours he puts in keeping DS9 operational.
** [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Janeway]] is a coffee addict - black, no cream, no sugar. An EstablishingCharacterMoment for her in the second episode of the series was when she realized that a nearby nebula could provide energy to help fuel a depleted ''Voyager''. When the nebula turns out to be a life form, she's somewhat disappointed at not having her morning cup.

* In ''Series/TheOfficeUS'', Michael's preference for chain restaurants is a sign of his immaturity and lack of sophistication; for example, when he goes to New York City on a business trip, he gets a "New York Slice" from Sbarro, and uses the local Chili's both when he has a meeting with a potential major client, and when hosting the annual Dundie awards.
* ''Series/You2018'': Love believes in this very heavily. She insists on taking Joe to restaurants all around Los Angeles to find his "perfect bite", analyzing him all the way through.

Some of these preferences don't say anything about their personalities, but two do, namely Luan who likes hers in a cube shape (or "funny side up") which ties into her quirky personality, and Lucy who likes hers burnt because she's a goth and therefore likes fire and the colour black.
