| 13 | Ah, caffeine! Truly one of the greatest gifts of nature. It allows us humans to surpass the limits of our endurance when we need it most, and it has become a sort of lifestyle for a lot of us. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | As a result of these special qualities, UsefulNotes/{{coffee}} and associated paraphernalia like coffeepots, coffee mugs and paper coffee cups with plastic covers have become a ubiquitous feature of every office setting, particularly at the start of the day. Oftentimes when points are being discussed, one or more of the participants will have a mug in hand. Important things happen around the office coffeemaker, and the number of paper cups at an employee's desk (or coffee rings on a draft report) are used as a visual indicator of how much stress they are under, and how hard they are working. In a stressful, busy law firm, the DisposableIntern or SexySecretary will be sent to get a tray of Starbucks coffees. For some reason, other drinks are not considered to be as representative of our reliance on caffeine as good, strong coffee, even if some teas and soft drinks actually have ''more'' caffeine. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Outside of the office, people of all professions have also been depicted as being dependent on caffeine -- to the point where attempts to drop the habit are used as a dramatic device. Construction workers and sailors drink coffee from battered metal thermoses and cowboys and the MountainMan make coffee over a campfire. In some works, something other than coffee may be used (such as soda), including obvious stand-ins used where real caffeinated beverages would be out of place. For example, in science fiction, colonists on a distant planet may drink "Venusian coffee" or some similar brewed hot drink. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | [[NailedToTheWagon Sudden and unexpected deprivation]] of this essential substance, on the other hand, is sometimes depicted with comedic consequences, such as sleeping or lobotomized workers, or a riot in the lunchroom. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | There are some theories that the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution only occurred because the Western world discovered coffee. The stimulating brew helped workers to stay alert longer and it gave a boost to innovators and thinkers trying to change the world. As well, the trend of 1700s and 1800s coffee houses created a social forum where political ideas could be debated. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | People who actually ''dislike'' coffee generally only turn up in fiction as a literal punchline to the old "do you want to come in for coffee" joke. Or they're [[BritsLoveTea British]] or [[AsiansLoveTea Asian]]. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | In the real world, the effect of caffeine on people can differ greatly based on individual genetics. Some people react very strongly to even small amounts of caffeine with jitters, racing heartbeat, and anxiety. In contrast, an estimated 10% of all people metabolize caffeine so quickly that they don't experience any effects at all. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Compare: BritsLoveTea, AsiansLoveTea, GRatedDrug, KlatchianCoffee. See also GiganticGulp. Often the only means of defying NotAMorningPerson. This trope is usually the only reason people tolerate coffee that's BadToTheLastDrop. CaffeineFailure is when the caffeine won't work for one reason or another. It's often treated as an antidote for SleepDeprivation -- or a way to cause it. |

| 41 | [[folder:Advertising]] |
| 42 | * In ads for [=McDonalds=] Premium Roast Coffee we see a man who says to everyone who tries to interact with him, "not before I have my coffee." Including the person at the fast food restaurant he goes to, presumably to buy coffee. |
| 43 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upuxPvnoQrY A 1979 ad for 7-11]] showed a ''growling werewolf'' driving a car, who only turned back into a normal man when he'd gotten his morning cup of coffee. ("Brings out the best of the beast in you.") |
| 44 | [[/folder]] |
| 45 | |
| 46 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 47 | * As though [[TheHero Negi]], an [[BritsLoveTea English tea drinker]], didn't have enough reasons to hate his ArchEnemy [[BigBad Fate]] in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', Fate turned out to be an avid fan of coffee as well, drinking seven cups per day. [[SeriousBusiness The two almost came to blows having a serious debate about the quality of milk tea and coffee]]. This has its roots in a rather tragic story, [[spoiler: when Fate was rescued and cared for by Shiori's older sister. She gave him coffee during this time, and he liked it. She died before she could make it for him a second time, and he constantly drinks coffee to find a cup [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove that gives him the same feeling]].]] |
| 48 | * In ''Manga/AoiHouse'', Elle Mathers is seen with a cup of coffee or a Frappucino in her hand. |
| 49 | * Yu Hansung from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''. Favourite brand: Maxim instant coffee. Seen: More than every second panel he's in. InSeriesNickname: Coffee Machine. |
| 50 | * BJ from ''Manga/SoulEater''. The man drinks it 24/7, carries a brewing pot in his travel case, and made a deal with the (benevolent) God of Death in exchange for coffee-related paraphenalia. Not to mention (he claims) his work suffered because his favorite coffee shop was no longer open. |
| 51 | * Andrew Waltfeld from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' is legendary for his fondness for coffee, to the point that his XO once suggests ventilating his office. |
| 52 | * L from ''Manga/DeathNote'' is very often seen with coffee or tea, perhaps even more than the trademark desserts. He also seems to have a dubious relationship with sleep. Although his sugar obsession crosses over to his coffee and tea (6 cubes or more, every time without fail), he has been known to be so deep in thought that his cup has ''overflowed'' with sugar. |
| 53 | * ''Manga/CaseClosed'': {{Fanon}} always like to depict Conan Edogawa as one, who supposedly brews coffee so strong that only policemen and detectives can drink it... and he drinks it whenever he can. This is probably a ShoutOut to Franchise/SherlockHolmes' addictions. |
| 54 | * ''Anime/SailorMoon'': |
| 55 | ** Mamoru is a coffee drinker, to the point where he interrupts a romantic moment with Usagi to get a cup. In TheNineties North American English dub, his preference was changed to cocoa. |
| 56 | ** Villainous Professor Tomoe shares this preference, which was likewise altered. |
| 57 | * When not Dueling, Jack Atlas from ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' is seen at a coffee shop often, especially after the Dark Signers arc. He usually drinks Blue Eyes coffee, a shout out to [[Anime/YuGiOh Seto Kaiba's]] favorite card. And it's expensive as all hell. (3,000 yen per cup, or about $30 USD currently; note, however, this takes place a few decades into the future, so some inflation might have occurred by then.) Lampshaded and mocked to hell and back in "Tag Force 5". |
| 58 | -->'''Jack:''' Do you know my favorite coffee, Blue Eyes Mountain, do you know how much it costs?\ |
| 59 | '''Correct Answer:''' Three Thousand DP![[note]] The ATK of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the standard ATK of a ''Anime/YuGiOh'' Rival's ace, ''and'' the ATK of his Signer dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend.[[/note]] |
| 60 | -->'''Jack:''' Exactly! You know, that number somehow puts my mind at ease... |
| 61 | ** He tries making his own coffee in one episode; its okay, although Stephanie, the waitress at the shop, is ''very'' unhappy when he doesn't show up. |
| 62 | ** In the original version, it's a different caffeinated drink -- tea, but that's apparently not manly enough for an American audience. |
| 63 | * Chaud/Enzan from ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior2002'' is seen drinking coffee quite frequently throughout the series. As in, it's the only thing we actually see him consume on screen until the 2nd season, Axess, and even then that piece of cake was pushed on him by Lan/Netto's mom. We don't see him consume anything other than coffee of his own accord until the ''5th season'', Beast. |
| 64 | * Yoshimori Sumimura from ''Manga/{{Kekkaishi}}'' is a bit more G-rated -- since he's a TripleShifter, he needs a lot of coffee milk to get him through the day. |
| 65 | * Since Tachibana of ''Manga/Gate7'' is NotAMorningPerson, he's useless (and scary) at morning until he drinks at least one cup of tea. |
| 66 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': After Kaji's death, HardDrinkingPartyGirl Misato switches to copious amounts of canned coffee, perhaps because she's now motivated to work all hours to find the truth about NERV. |
| 67 | * In ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'', coffee is literally the only thing Ghouls can consume besides human flesh. As a direct result, they are as a species insanely fond of drinking coffee and much of the series centers around a cafe run by a group of [[VegetarianVampire peaceful Ghouls]]. The protagonist is greatly relieved to discover he can still drink coffee, after his transformation into a HalfHumanHybrid. |
| 68 | * ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'': Due to chronic sleep deprivation, Shirogane has to have at least one cup of coffee every 3 hours or he will instantly pass out... Which comes to be problematic when the council room's stock was breifly switched to decaf. |
| 69 | * ''Manga/NewGame'' is a WorkCom about a game studio, and [[JustifiedTrope of course this persists in real-life video game studios]]. There are however a few specific examples: |
| 70 | ** In the anime Kou appears to be drinking a large amount of energy drinks, particularly [[BlandNameProduct Red Gull]]. This is very subdued in the manga. |
| 71 | ** Chapter 22 is basically about Umiko asking Nene (and Aoba) to buy energy drinks for the whole debug team, since Umiko expects the entire team to work overnight. |
| 72 | * ''Manga/CellsAtWorkCodeBlack'' contains an unusual PlayedForDrama version in Chapter 12. The host body has energy drink regularly, making his red blood cells feel revitalized... Until caffeine withdrawal sets in, at which point they collapse on the floor shivering and begging for more caffeine. [[spoiler:One senior blood cell reveals to the rookies that caffeine jolts are the only way to keep up with overwork in this badly-maintained body]]. |
| 73 | [[/folder]] |
| 74 | |
| 75 | [[folder:Card Games]] |
| 76 | * Flavor text for the ''TabletopGame/NetRunner'' card "Jack 'n' Joe": |
| 77 | -->''There's too much blood in my caffeine system.'' |
| 78 | * In the ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' story "[[http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/uncharted-realms/catching-2015-07-22 Catching Up]], the [[AbstractApotheosis Living Guildpact]] Jace Beleren, after being told to get some rest by his bailiff after a long day of arbitrating disputes between the guilds, responds thusly: |
| 79 | -->''The Living Guildpact rules that coffee is an acceptable substitution for rest, as specified in subsection...whatever.'' |
| 80 | [[/folder]] |
| 81 | |
| 82 | [[folder:Comedy]] |
| 83 | * On ''FM & AM'''s "Drugs," we hear this from Creator/GeorgeCarlin: |
| 84 | --> When they talk about drugs, they don't talk about all of them, that's the problem. They don't mention coffee. ''(Chuckles)'' The low end of the speed spectrum, I grant you. But there are coffee freaks. And they're walkin' around, and nobody, y'know, worried about it or anything. Mrs. Olson[[note]] in their old advertisements, a Swedish neighbor who invariably recommended a cup of Folgers coffee for the characters in the commercial. Played by Creator/VirginiaChristine, who might be best known to you as Princess Ananka in ''The Mummy's Curse.''[[/note]] never tells you about that mild speed lift, y'know? She's shooting freeze-dried Folgers, right? But you've seen the coffee freak in the office, haven't you? The guy who drops eight or nine cups every morning, and always in a good mood: ''(rapidly)'' "Hi! How are ya? Warm that up for ya? OK, yeah! Hi, how are ya, good to see ya." Always in a nice mood. Until the coffee urn breaks, man. Then he's the first guy to: ''(more rapidly)'' "Whaddaya mean broken, man? Wha'? Plug it in, man! Turn it around! Never mind, man! Put some water in. Holy shit, man! Turn the plug around!" Then he goes out and scores, 'cause he's the one who's hooked. |

| 86 | |
| 87 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 88 | * [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in ''ComicBook/DanInSpace'', where Dan Johnson always likes having coffee on hand to drink. |
| 89 | * ''ComicBook/TooMuchCoffeeMan'' is a superhero whose power is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin that he drinks too much coffee.]] The addictive side of this means it is a weakness, too. |
| 90 | * ComicBook/TheQuestion's mentor, Aristotle "Tot" Rodor, had quite a thing for coffee in the O'Neil/Cowan series. |
| 91 | * ''ComicBook/IronMan'': A surprising amount of Tony Stark {{Fanon}} holds that, having put alcoholic addiction behind him, Tony has turned to coffee. |
| 92 | ** TruthInTelevision: This is actually ''very'' common among recovering alcoholics, [[AddictionDisplacement exchanging]] an extremely harmful addiction for a (relatively) harmless and socially acceptable one. |
| 93 | ** Given the fact that practically all he drinks in the movie is either alcoholic or coffee (except for that weird green concoction during the painting decision for the armor), this may be veering into canon in at least one medium. |
| 94 | ** He spends much of the second movie chugging various green concoctions, presumably [[spoiler: to alleviate the paladium poisoning]]. |
| 95 | ** There's also [[http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/6540/tonycoffeedw0.jpg a scene in one comic]] -- ''Iron Man'' #1 of the Extremis arc -- where Tony is woken by a call from one of his many secretaries, who is entirely unsympathetic to his grogginess. Defeated, he requests that she at least hook him up with "the gallon drum of coffee. And possibly some kind of intravenous drip." |
| 96 | * ''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsClintBarton Clint Barton]], especially in ''ComicBook/Hawkeye2012''. He has a terrible sleep cycle, is constantly exhausted as a BadassNormal trying to keep up with superheroes, and depends on caffeine to function in daytime; he's seen chugging coffee directly from the percolator jug at one point. Then there's the heartrending "Aw, coffee, no..." panel showing Clint ruefully discovering a serious spillage. |
| 97 | * Practically all of the cast in ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'' runs on caffeine, being cops. The coffee machine holds a very important place in the MCU's interaction life. Seriously, how hard is it to fill the coffee maker again when you finish the damn coffee?! |
| 98 | * ''ComicBook/TheFlash'': In the 2010 comic book, Iris Allen is seldom seen without a coffee cup in hand. Her IM icon is even a cup of coffee. |
| 99 | * Invoked by the villainous Neutron Bum in issue #4 ''ComicBook/TheAwesomeSlapstick'', who goes on a city-destroying rampage when no-one can give him some money to buy a cup of coffee. |
| 100 | * ''ComicBook/ReidFlemingWorldsToughestMilkman'' (cited as an inspiration for ''ComicBook/TooMuchCoffeeMan'') is ''not'' a morning person, and his need for coffee is great. |
| 101 | * Abby from ''Webcomic/LoveAndCapes''. It becomes especially apparent in ''What to Expect'' when she has to have to give up coffee while pregnant. |
| 102 | * Many Creator/WarrenEllis protagonists live on caffeine. [[AuthorAppeal The man himself]] [[http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=9481 purports to be quite an example.]] |
| 103 | ** For example, Jacklyn King in ''ComicBook/TheWildstorm'' requires coffee first thing on arriving at work in the morning. She doesn't accept explanations like "there were people ahead of me" as reasons for there not being any. |
| 104 | --->'''King:''' ''(to her assistant)'' You are allowed to shoot people who get between me and my coffee. |
| 105 | * In ''[[ComicBook/TheMultiversity The Multiversity #2]]'', thanks to [[ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} Annataz]] of Earth-13, the Blood League of Earth-43 are now vampires who feed on coffee instead of blood. |
| 106 | [[/folder]] |
| 107 | |
| 108 | [[folder:Comic Strips]] |
| 109 | * A RunningGag in ''ComicStrip/AdamAtHome'' deals with Adam's fondness for coffee. |
| 110 | * Scott Adams is very fond of using playing with this trope in ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'', perhaps more so than in most series. He takes it to both logical ends by showing the workers suffering when the secretary replaces their regular supply with decaf, as well as his title character gaining PsychicPowers when given an unlimited supply of coffee. Wally is the most extreme example. When Catbert and the boss order him to cut down to 40 cups a day, Wally screams "Not Double Digits!". The strip that best illustrates the Pointy-Haired Boss' evil? The one where he finishes the coffee without refilling the pot. |
| 111 | %%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * Played straight in ''ComicStrip/AdamAtHome''. |
| 112 | * ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' |
| 113 | ** Quite a few strips, especially later ones, sometimes use [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1987/12/04 coffee-addiction gags.]] Usually, adding that Garfield [[KlatchianCoffee likes the strongest blend possible]]. A funny variation is when Jon was sitting calmly, while all of a sudden a clearly unhinged Garfield slams a mug on the table and screams [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1996/03/26 "BEAN ME!"]] Jon simply notes that Garfield's probably had more than one cup of coffee that day. |
| 114 | ** And there was a Flash "game" on the official site where you can feed Garfield coffee and watch him wake up and become more and more unhinged. It's aptly named ''Bean Me!'' (You can see a playthrough in the Video Examples.) |
| 115 | ** In another strip, Garfield is literally bouncing off the walls at high speed after eating Jon's bag of chocolate covered coffee beans. |
| 116 | ** On the other hand, [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2020/06/13 this strip]] shows how he reacts to insufficient amount of caffeine. |
| 117 | --->'''Jon''': How's the decaf? |
| 118 | ** The easiest way of putting it is this: If the coffee isn't ready, [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1993/02/21 pray your funeral is.]] |
| 119 | ** [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1983/12/04 Jon has had]] [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1984/05/30 his moments]] just as much as his cat. In [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1987/08/10 one strip]], Jon goes to pick up a cup of coffee; Garfield screams frantically for him not to drink it, but he's too late. Jon drinks it, and then falls asleep. "That coffee was ''decaffeinated'', you fool!" shouts Garfield. |
| 120 | * ''ComicStrip/{{Foxtrot}}'' |
| 121 | ** A RunningGag in the comic involves Roger, the head of the Fox household, being rather non-functional-- well, more than usual-- without his morning coffee. |
| 122 | ** One arc had Andy decide Roger was depending too much on coffee and cut him off cold turkey. After a hearty breakfast of raw macaroni in vinegar (thanks to [[ThePrankster Jason]]), he crashes down the basement stairs. When he arrives at work, he manages to attend several meetings, take part in a conference call, and give a lecture to younger employees on key company policies. [[EpicFail Around two in the afternoon, he realizes he's in the wrong building.]] |
| 123 | ** Another comic has Peter weaning himself off of coffee, remarking that he drank so much during finals, if he went cold turkey, he'd die. When asked if he was drinking half-decaf, half-regular, he remarked "quintuple espresso". |
| 124 | ** Another of Peter's ''stay awake at all costs'' brews is coffee-tea (tea brewed with coffee), which is apparently just this side of a controlled substance. |
| 125 | ** In one arc, Paige uses coffee-tea in quantities that shock even her brother, which is quite a feat. |
| 126 | ** Speaking of Roger, on one occasion he was so out of it that he tried to pour his coffee into an upside-down mug. When Paige helpfully pointed out his mistake, he flipped both mug and coffeepot. |
| 127 | ** Paige herself is rather inept at the concepts involved in the culinary arts, even to such a degree that she uses a cup of grounds to a teaspoon of water. I'll give it one thing, it wakes her folks up. |
| 128 | ** "The pot's over by the fridge... The fridge is over there... See that thing with the blinking red light?... Roger, that's the answering machine." The last line said as we hear slurping sounds from off-panel. |
| 129 | ** In one strip, Peter comments that you know you've made coffee right when it's the ''fumes'' that wake you up. |
| 130 | ** In another strip, Peter drinks a whole pot of coffee to give him an edge in math test he's dreading. In the last panel, he's trying to take the test, but sweating, red in the face, and thinking, [[PottyEmergency "If the boy's bathroom is one-thousand feet away and I run at a rate of a hundred feet per second..."]] |
| 131 | ** In one strip, Roger takes a sip in the first panel, followed by a BeatPanel, then a look of ''absolute, complete shock''. In the last panel, Jason is holding the coffee pot, and says, "You ''said'' to make it ''strong''," followed by Roger - from the ceiling - saying, "Funny, I wouldn't have thought my fingers could grip like this..." |
| 132 | ** At one point, Roger goes in for a physical. When the doctor asks how much coffee he drinks in the morning and he replies "a coupla things of coffee." The doctor says "Two cups of coffee is OK. What else?" "Pots, not Cups." |
| 133 | ** One of Peter's bright ideas to stay up long enough to finish a book report was to mix an ''entire jar of coffee crystals'' with hot water and drink it all at once. |
| 134 | ** One more: One Sunday strip showed Roger making several back-and-forth trips to the coffee maker before revealing that he's dumping pot after pot into a gigantic mug the size of a large bucket. He completely dismisses the notion that said mug was just a novelty gag gift the kids gave him for Father's Day. |
| 135 | * Subverted in one ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'' strip, with vice-presidential candidate Opus stumbling around in a morning stupor, mumbling about needing coffee. Then he reads a newspaper. BOING! "Who needs coffee when you've got the latest poll results?" |
| 136 | * Phoebe from ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'', who list "caffeine" as her religion when she applies for a job at [[BlandNameProduct Fourbucks Coffee]]. And has an espresso machine ''in her locker''. In one strip, Jeremy taps her on the shoulder to ask her something and she hits the ceiling - literally - in shock, having drunk more than usual for finals. |
| 137 | ** Subverted with Jeremy, who'd ''like'' to be a coffee-drinker to show how adult he is, but who hates the taste so much that the most he can stomach is a cup of cream and sugar with a tiny squirt of coffee at the bottom. |
| 138 | * One early ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'' cartoon showed an angry man holding a smoking shotgun, having killed two people with it, while his wife behind him angrily says, "That settles it, Carl! From now on, you're only getting decaffeinated coffee!" |
| 139 | * In ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', Linus' "Blanket Hating Grandmother" likely qualifies, seeing as in one storyline, she drank 32 cups of coffee in one sitting! Unfortunately, Linus got the entire family angry at him for saying her dependence on caffeine was the same as how he depended on his blanket, leading him to ''seriously'' regret saying it and going to apologize to his grandmother. |
| 140 | [[/folder]] |
| 141 | |
| 142 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 143 | * [[https://storygirl000.tumblr.com/post/188151555816/phantomchick-imnotafan-crazysnake19 This]] thread, which quickly turns into a story about [[NoKillLikeOverkill how far]] Tim Drake would go to to keep the rest of the Batfamily from confiscating his precious Death Wish coffee. It ends with him [[spoiler:becoming the consort of the goddess of coffee. Yes, really.]] |
| 144 | * The massive, slowly progressing novel ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/335663 A Real Sky]]'' (formerly ''Look for the Sky''), written by tori_siikanen (ceeainthereforthat), addresses several things that Creator/TanithLee left out of her original Four BEE novels. One is coffee, or "wine of Kaf". It comes with breakfast food, or mornings after drug/alcohol indulgence, so you know that's what it is. |
| 145 | * In ''FanFic/ProjectTatterdemalion'', a quirk of [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetically engineered biology]] means that people with PsychicPowers- shinigami and Quincies- really do need caffeine as a basic nutrient, especially when they use their powers a lot. Shinigami in particular also like it because it makes their hearts beat faster- the process that makes them shinigami slows their heartbeats way down, and caffeine brings it back to normal. |
| 146 | ** A SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome from [[TheMedic Isane]] is driven by her need to get coffee - in her ''first appearance'' no less! She just woke up as a Shinigami, isn't very coherent and just wants coffee. A Hollow gets in her way. [[CurbStompBattle You can guess what happens next...]] |
| 147 | * ''Fanfic/ACertainDrollHivemind'': Misaka-10901 mentions that the researchers who conducted the experiments where twenty thousand clones were murdered constantly complained about the city's bad coffee. Apparently, if a city can master human cloning, they should spend some money on mastering coffee. |
| 148 | -->One of them proposed using [[NeuralImplanting the Testament machine]] to programme Misaka-19999 to make coffee, so they could have better non-instant coffee all the way through the experiments. The scientists argued that this would increase morale and make them more productive workers. This proposal was under consideration when the sequence was terminated. We are unclear as to whether [[PersonOfMassDestruction the Accelerator]] would have also been allowed Misaka-19999's coffee under this model. |
| 149 | * ''CDRR'' fanfic authors generally love to give Gadget an addiction to caffeine which is not even hinted at in the show. Examples include [[Fanfic/TheNowakverse John Nowak's stories]]. |
| 150 | * In ''Fanfic/TheButcherBird'', Kaneki, being a [[Manga/TokyoGhoul ghoul]], can only drink coffee and water without becoming ill. Not only does he develop a massive caffeine habit, but so do most of his friends. At one point, after several days without coffee, they come across a [[Manga/OnePiece Paramecia user]] who can produce and control coffee who is part of a Marine contingent hunting them. The Marine wisely decides to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere run for it.]] |
| 151 | * In ''Fanfic/TheMagicOfTorchwood'', Owen runs on coffee. He is annoyed when he is without it. He spreads this irritation around. It is generally considered best to give him coffee to avert this. |
| 152 | * ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has most of the Avengers fitting this trope, with one of Loki's more marketable skills being an excellent coffee maker - and Asgard gets so hooked to it that some characters joke that Nick Fury could get concessions from Asgard if he threatened to cut off all coffee trade. Another notable example is Carol, who is ''really'' NotAMorningPerson, requires caffeine to function, and [[RunningGag is prone to stealing any unattended coffee mug]]. She's also capable of downing a steaming hot mug of coffee in one. |
| 153 | * Part 2 of ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'' starts with [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix]] craving for coffee after an almost sleepless night, followed by [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight]] telling him nopony has any. |
| 154 | * ''Fanfic/{{Ferris}}'': Bradford loves his coffee. It's later revealed [[MustHaveCaffeine/RealLife he was in the Navy]]. |
| 155 | * In the remake of ''FanFic/BattleFantasiaProject'', interfering with exports of [[KlatchianCoffee Turk, Finnish and Italian coffee]] to Equestria is considered attempted murder of Twilight Sparkle, implying she is this. On the other hand, Pinkie Pie is banned from having any coffee whenever she visits Earth. |
| 156 | * ''Fanfic/TheNextFrontier'': [[VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram Bob Kerman]] gets through a quite staggering amount of [[CallASmeerpARabbit "a liquid it is convenient to call coffee"]]. No wonder he's so anxious all the time... |
| 157 | * ''Fanfic/ASparkOfGenius'': Xander creates a Starbucks {{Expy}} in the WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Earth, using his Spark knowledge to make that coffee extra strong. The Flash gets hooked to an ultra-concentrated version of this, enough to make him even more hyperactive than in the series - and when Xander closes down the shops, Flash has to go cold-turkey while the entire world feels the hit (it is mentioned that Xander's company has rapidly become the mayor buyer of coffee beans and purveyor of coffee and coffee-derived products). |
| 158 | * ''Fanfic/ASparkOfIceAndFire'': After [[Webcomic/GirlGenius Agatha]] discovers [[CallARabbitASmeerp wakebean]], she creates the Coffee Engine - which soon becomes a staple of any court meeting. |
| 159 | * In ''Fanfic/ThievesCanBeHeroes'', Izuku has gotten into the habit of drinking black coffee every morning as part of the workout regimen he developed in hopes of becoming a hero. His guardian, Sojiro, is surprised by this and asks of Izuku was just trying to look tough. |
| 160 | * ''Fanfic/UniverseFalls'': In "To Con a Clod", while trying to butter up Peridot Grunkle Stan lets her try some coffee. Peridot quickly becomes obsessed with the stuff, demanding ''five'' pots as payment for telling our heroes what she knows about the Cluster. |
| 161 | * In ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy'', Izuku ends up installing a coffee machine in his room while trying to cram college-level physics, chemistry, and engineering into his head in time to build his own web-shooters. It's still running by the time he's so tired that he falls asleep with his face in his textbook. |
| 162 | * In the [[AlternateUniverseFic AU]] ''Fanfic/ThoseWhoStandForNothingFallForAnything'', Light and L stop for coffee in almost every chapter. [[BadBoss Light tends to sack people]] [[BerserkButton when he's deprived of his coffee.]] Also coffee is apparently so important to L that when they run out he rushes out to get more--[[AloneWithThePsycho leaving Light alone in the house with B.]] |
| 163 | * Light is a caffeine junkie again in ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/616971/chapters/1112940 To Feel Alive]]'' until Ryuk points out that it could have a negative effect on his lifespan. |
| 164 | * In ''FanFic/OriginOfThePixies'', Fergus is very dependent upon his morning coffee and struggles with withdrawal when he goes to long without it. |
| 165 | * In ''[[Fanfic/ThreeSlytherinMarauders 3 Slytherin Marauders]]'' Harry gave Snape a joke T-shirt one Christmas that sported a caricature drawn by Nymphadora Tonks and the caption "World's Best Father - After Three Cups of Coffee." |
| 166 | * Downplayed example, [[TheStoic as befits the relevant character]], in ''Fanfic/AMillionMilesOfFun'': [[DarkActionGirl P'Li]], at three in the morning and after driving for altogether too long, ''really'' wants some chi-enhancing tea. |
| 167 | * ''Fanfic/InfiniteCoffeeAndProtectionDetail'': Bucky Barnes dearly loves white mochas. |
| 168 | * Even Wrex gets addicted to coffee in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6083201/96/Mass-Effect-Newton-s-First-Law Newton's First Law]]''. |
| 169 | * A cultural trait of the reindeer in ''Fanfic/UnderTheNorthernLights''. It is also KlatchianCoffee, at least according to Spike. This is of course because their real life [[FantasyCounterpartCulture counterparts]], the Scandinavians, are heavy coffee drinkers. |
| 170 | * There's also a fic called "Pinkie Pie Discovers Coffee". It does nothing to Pinkie, but HilarityEnsues when Twilight drinks a mocha and ends up just as hyper as her friend. |
| 171 | * ''Fanfic/SunsetsLittleTwilight'': The human Pinkie Pie just can't get going in the morning without that first cup of coffee. Ironically, it makes her pony counterpart ''lethargic'', so she drinks decaf instead. |
| 172 | * ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': [[spoiler:The human Pinkie]] is essentially a zombie before that first cup. [[spoiler:Yes, it's a ShoutOut to ''Sunset's Little Twilight''.]] |
| 173 | * ''Fanfic/EscapeFromTheMoon'': In the sequel ''The Mare From the Moon'', Spliced is this in the morning, since she doesn't get a lot of sleep due to her nightmares. |
| 174 | * In Estee's ''Fanfic/TriptychContinuum'', coffee is ''occasionally'' drank, but most ponies go with a similar beverage simply called 'wake-up juice'. Its effects, and those of deprivation therefrom, are quite akin to coffee's. (In ''A Total Eclipse of the Fun'', the Brinner Brigade use it to excess.) |
| 175 | * ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse:'' Due to Princess Luna being nocturnal, the Night Court has to be as well, as does the small army of public servants and assorted castle staff who work under them. Since most ponies are ''not'' nocturnal, this means Canterlot as a whole requires vast amounts of caffeine just to keep running. |
| 176 | * ''Fanfic/AMoonAndWorldApart'': Sunset has to drink an entire cup just to have the energy to make it the rest of the way to the breakfast table in the morning, as seen in chapter 11. |
| 177 | * ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/368869/her-royal-morning-coffee Her Royal Morning Coffee]]'' starts with Princess Twilight [[{{Sleepwalking}} sleepwalking]] to [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign Java Le Choza]], ordering coffee, and thanking the proprietor with a kiss. [[MistakenForRomance And then her friends find out]]. Her family has known for ages that she used to sleepwalk in search of coffee as a child, but she [[ImplausibleDeniability insists that they photoshopped the evidence]]. |
| 178 | * In the cracky fanfic ''Reload'', a GroundhogDayLoop type fic that long ago reached the lets-goof-off stage, we have Sasuke (who is currently female, long story) get up and reach for the nearest cup of coffee. Naruto comments that it was boiling moments ago. |
| 179 | * The Coffee-inator gadget, seen in fanfics connected to the ''Fanfic/ShipsAhoy'' [[TheVerse universe]], works in place of drinking actual coffee, which some agents like Olive and Dr. O tend to hate because it's a drink for adults. From what we've seen of it, it's very effective, especially when warding off SleepDeprivation. |
| 180 | * In the ''Sword and Shield'' Verse, a crime-based' fanfic, we have [[ActionGirl Brenda]] [[SirSwearsALot Johnson]], our main OC character who's partnered with [[OlymusMons Mewtwo]] aka [[DarkAndTroubledPast Vahan]] [[PsychicPowers Smith]]. Just Brenda, who prefers her coffee "liquid, preferably alive". On the other hand, Mewtwo has stoutly refused to resort to coffee. Brenda considers that a sign of insanity. |
| 181 | * {{Fanon}} likes to ascribe this trait to Nabiki in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''. |
| 182 | * This trait is why Jaune's cafe in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12606073/1/Service-with-a-Smile Service with a Smile]]'' is under the protection of [[TheMafia Junior]], Roman Torchwick, and Cinder Fall, with Junior and his men ordering fifty coffees twice a day. His is the only coffeehouse in the city that isn't a mediocre franchise and his stock has enough quality and variety to make even coffee hater Ruby visit several times a week for a cup. Understandably, the need for caffeine shows through the most when Team RWBY has to wake up at 3am to help Jaune run his shop for a day. |
| 183 | -->'''Weiss:''' Coffee.\ |
| 184 | '''Jaune:''' What kind?\ |
| 185 | '''Weiss:''' Coffee! |

| 187 | * ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/500680/1/Harry-Kim-The-Goblet-Of-Coffee Harry Kim and the Goblet of Coffee]]'', shows that Janeway really did beat the Borg with coffee! |
| 188 | * [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/525231/1/The-Killer-Dame The Killer Dame]] is a parody of the episode "The Killing Game", in which Voyager's crew was brainwashed by the Hirogen into thinking they're characters in a World War II holodeck program. SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs when Captain Janeway finds to her horror that the only coffee available to civilians in German-occupied France is ersatz coffee made of crushed acorns! When American troops arrive, she's willing to violate her CelibateHero status to get her hands on some real beans (fortunately the Doctor deactivates the brainwashing at that point). |
| 189 | * ''Fanfic/RocketshipVoyager''. Captain Janeway keeps a container of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee [[OnlyElectricSheepAreCheap in her safe in the Captain's Cabin]], and notes that it's a good thing agrifood executives need coffee too or the land would have been used for growing food crops instead for an overpopulated Earth. She's not happy when she's taken prisoner by the Hirogen Alpha who confiscates her thermos and sculls the last coffee in 70,000 light years. |
| 190 | %%* ''Coffee'' is about Hoshi musing on the joys of coffee. |
| 191 | * In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18508306/chapters/43861579 Mended]]'', Vanya makes a cup of coffee before sitting down with her ex-boyfriend, and then another one when she hears the apocalypse is hitting in five days. |
| 192 | * ''Fanfic/ToyHammer'': Commissar Tomas Sturm takes a liking to Terran "recaff" (a.k.a. coffee). |
| 193 | * Commissar Steve's entire motivation in ''WebAnimation/ADayInTheLifeOfACommissar'' is getting a cup of coffee. Justified, since his room-mate has night terrors and the beds are uncomfortable, so he barely gets any sleep. He goes completely berserk when he finds out Nathan Johnson, [[spoiler: the Force Commander of the local chapter of the Blood Ravens]], bought all the coffee on the planet. This escalates from teaming up with his SitcomArchNemesis, to challenging Johnson and his two friends ( [[spoiler: The Librarian and Chaplain]]) to a cage match, to demanding the use of a [[TankGoodness Baneblade]] Super-Heavy Tank. |

| 197 | * Ehren du Chasteler of ''Fanfic/HarryAndTheShipgirls'' is a shambling mess in the morning until she's had some coffee. This state has been dubbed the "Prussian ''Kaffee'' Zombie" in narration. |

| 201 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'': Before the Madrigals' breakfast reunion, in a "blink and you miss" moment, Pepa is seen with a cloud in her head (which indicates that she's upset for some reason), holding a cup of coffee. But as soon as she drinks it, she perks up, making the cloud disappear. |
| 202 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'''s Twitchy is insanely addicted to caffeine (and in denial too), to which other characters attribute his hyperactive persona. Becomes a ChekhovsGun near the end when he is given a huge dose of coffee to enable him to outpace and apprehend the villains. |
| 203 | * In ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'', [[ChildProdigy Lewis]] works all night on his invention, preventing his roommate, [[DeadpanSnarker Goob]] -- a very short child -- from sleeping before his big baseball game. As he's complaining to [[ParentalSubstitute Mildred]] the next day, he trades his juice box for her coffee and walks off saying "That's good joe." |

| 207 | * In ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel'', the spaceship passengers remain totally calm when informed of the various crises facing the flight, but fly into all-out panic when it's also revealed that there is no more coffee. |
| 208 | --> '''Capt. Oveur:''' Damn! If I've told them once, I've told them a thousand times: load more coffee! |
| 209 | * One of the more famous moments in ''Film/MenInBlack'' is when Kay, after asking Jay if he wants some coffee, steps into the break room and has a brief argument with the "worm guys" (according to the books their species is Vermar), a group of coffee-and-cigarette-obsessed aliens. The MIB operates on a 37-hour day, so it's not a stretch to imagine that the coffee room is always well-stocked. |
| 210 | * ''Coffee and Cigarettes'' is a series of vignettes with various comedians, actors, musicians and artists engaged in dialog over coffee and cigarettes, or about coffee and cigarettes. In one segment, clean and sober Wu Tang Clan advise Bill Murray, obviously attached to both coffee and cigarettes, to give them up for healthy "herbals". |
| 211 | * In the live-action ''Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle'' film, George sees a commercial for coffee on TV and runs through Ursula's UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco apartment looking for coffee. When he finds it, he starts eating the ground beans, saying "Javajavajavajavajavajavajavajava!" |
| 212 | * In ''Film/MoscowOnTheHudson'' Creator/RobinWilliams' character goes a little bit insane at the supermarket -- he's grocery shopping on behalf of his host family and he's supposed to buy "coffee", but there's an entire aisle filled with ''nothing but'' coffee. Which one is he supposed to get?! |
| 213 | * Played with in ''Film/DownPeriscope'' where [[TheNeidermeyer Lt. Pascal]] forces [[CordonBleughChef Chef Buckman]] to get rid of all the cooking lard and replace it with lots of coffee. |
| 214 | * There's a part in ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' where Luigi threatens a guy who offers him decaf coffee and, moments later, stabbing some other sap because the likely caffeinated coffee seemed to not be to his likings. |
| 215 | * ''Film/ThePaper'' has journalists addicted to [[ProductPlacement Coca-Cola]] (since real life reporters like coffee and cigarettes a lot), complete with a soda machine on the newspaper's building. |
| 216 | -->'''Martha:''' Why don't you just pour battery acid down your throat?\ |
| 217 | '''Henry:''' No caffeine. |
| 218 | * Marge Gunderson's diet in ''Film/{{Fargo}}'' is more or less normal--she might be willing to eat bigger meals, but not excessively so (averting WackyCravings). However, it seems that she simply cannot operate without coffee. |
| 219 | * ''Film/IRememberMama'' is about Norwegians, so of course it's full of references to coffee. One of the subplots is about deciding when you're old enough to drink it. Even tiny children get "coffee-sugar", a sugar cube dipped in the sacred brew. |
| 220 | * In ''Film/{{PCU}}'' Jeremy Piven's character is introduced while sleeping off a hangover. When the main character wakes him up and tries to introduce himself, Piven will only respond with increasingly loud demands of "Coffee!" before finally screaming, "Coffee ''now!''" |
| 221 | * Naturally, coffee becomes a ''literal'' survival technique for teenagers in the ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' franchise, who need to stay awake or risk being murdered in their dreams. In the opening sequence of ''[[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet3DreamWarriors Dream Warriors]]'', Kristen doesn't even bother to brew hers, but spoons instant coffee grounds directly into her mouth and washes them down with a slug of extra-caffeinated soda. |
| 222 | * In ''Film/YouveGotMail'', Joe Fox explains his business plan: "we're going to sell them cheap books and legal addictive stimulants." |
| 223 | * In ''Film/Godzilla1998'', the lead French investigator drinks the New York coffee his assistant gives him, [[BadToTheLastDrop despite finding it awful]]. |
| 224 | * In ''Film/SplitSecond1992'', homicide detective Harley Stone goes on a diet of coffee and chocolate after his partner is murdered. When he and rookie officer Dick Durkin discover the killer is [[spoiler:a supernatural entity, possibly a demon]], the rookie is affected the same way. |
| 225 | * In ''Film/TenThingsIHateAboutYou'', there's a group of students obsessed with coffee. When Michael points them out to Cameron, one can be seen yelling at another for spilling what was apparently a very valuable blend. Michael strongly advises Cameron not to make sudden movements around them. |
| 226 | * In ''Film/{{UHF}}'', during the U-62 telethon, the crew is beginning to run out of steam, especially with their big gun, Stanley Spadowski, missing in action. At one point, the cameraman is seen making a pot of coffee, [[IllTakeTwoBeersToo and then taking the whole thing and chugging it.]] |
| 227 | * The titular character of ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' is, he assures you, ''not'' addicted to coffee, he can stop drinking it any time he wants to. He prefers the stuff from the cafe across the street from his apartment, which conveniently has a Ludicolo barista who can take Pokémon's orders - evidently he's not the only non-human bean fiend in the neighborhood. |

| 231 | * According to legend, when coffee arrived in Europe, the MoralGuardians took issue with drinking an Islamic drink. The issue came before UsefulNotes/ThePope, whereupon he took a whiff and baptized it because good Christians shouldn't be deprived of such an obviously heavenly drink. The real story is even better. It seems that the hard-working scholar-diplomat Pope Clement VIII was already a big fan of coffee, and wasn't about to let some stuffy old-fashioned advisors stand in the way of progress or his all-nighters. |
| 232 | [[/folder]] |
| 233 | |
| 234 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 235 | * OlderThanRadio: Music/JohannSebastianBach, of all people, is the UrExample. Coffee addiction was the [[TheNewRockAndRoll moral panic du jour]] in 18th century Leipzig, so Bach wrote a cantata about it (''in favor'' of the stuff, mind you): ''Music/SchweigtStillePlaudertNicht'' ("Be still, stop chattering") (BWV 211), better known as the "Coffee Cantata." The story concerns a young woman who is in love with coffee. Her father attempts to bribe her out of the habit by promising to find her a husband if she gives it up, to which she agrees. She ends up getting her way after all, by secretly telling her suitors that [[LysistrataGambit she will only marry them if they allow her to drink coffee]]. |
| 236 | * Devin Townsend's Album ''Ziltoid the Omniscient'' is basically a RockOpera about the title character [[spoiler:destroying the Earth]] because he gets a bad cup of coffee. |
| 237 | * The song "Stress" by Jim's Big Ego: |
| 238 | -->''I'm trying to cut down on my caffeine consumption\ |
| 239 | So when I get up I just have one cup of coffee\ |
| 240 | And I like to have another cup of coffee with my breakfast\ |
| 241 | And on the way to work I like to get a cup of coffee\ |
| 242 | Like the kind of cup of coffee that you get with the donuts\ |
| 243 | But I never get the donut, I just have the cup of coffee\ |
| 244 | And when I get to work I like to have a cup of coffee\ |
| 245 | 'Cause I like to have a coffee when I'm talking on the phone\ |
| 246 | But it usually goes cold and I need to get another cup of coffee\ |
| 247 | And it's lunch, and I have an espresso'' |
| 248 | * Music/ThemCrookedVultures has the video "[[https://youtu.be/fhdCslFcKFU?feature=shared FRESH POTS!]]", which shows Music/DaveGrohl regularly having five (fresh) pots of coffee a day. Two weeks after the video was shot, he was taken to the hospital for a caffeine overdose. Since then, he has cut back on how much coffee he has. |
| 249 | * A French example -- "Un petit café" by Oldelaf. [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7c543_un-petit-cafe_music The music video]] really pulls it off, though. Rather scarily, in fact-- the coffee addict becomes AxCrazy and eventually [[spoiler: ''dissolves'' from drinking too much of the stuff]]. |
| 250 | * Music/TheyMightBeGiants are so devoted to coffee that they actually devoted an entire segment to it in ''Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns''. Coffee is also mentioned in enough songs that the fan-made wiki chronicles [[http://tmbw.net/wiki/Coffee all its mentions in songs]]. The inevitable result was the band writing and singing several songs promoting Dunkin' Donuts coffee. |
| 251 | * The song called "Caffeine" by Taxi is about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what you think]], and notable for the singer, while graduating with each verse from Coca-Cola to coffee to ''caffeine pills instead of food'', being reduced to unintelligible screaming and gibbering by the song's end. |
| 252 | * There's also "The Java Jive", originally by The Ink Spots, but covered by many others (including, oddly, Richard Thompson), since. |
| 253 | * Music/TroutFishingInAmerica sang about this in the song "What I Want Is a Proper Cup of Coffee". |
| 254 | * Music/JarsOfClay has "The Coffee Song (Good Coffee, Strong Coffee)", which they only play at live shows. |
| 255 | * "Caffeine" by comedy metal band Music/{{Psychostick}}. '''ENERGY DRINKS REPLACE WATER!''' |
| 256 | * Dutch band V.O.F. De Kunst had "EĂ©n Kopje Koffie" ("One Cup of Coffee") in the '80s, which describes how our whole civilisation runs on coffee, and how users have a drug-like attitude towards it. |
| 257 | --> Ja ik ben een gebruiker (''Yes I am a user (/ abuser)'') |
| 258 | --> Het pure spul dus zonder de suiker (''The pure stuff, so no sugar'') |
| 259 | --> Ik giet het zwarte goud in een kop, en ik leef weer op... (''I pour the black gold in a cup, and I thrive again...'') |
| 260 | * Music/MitchBenn's ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEtcKh62PKY&feature=related Caffeine]]": |
| 261 | -->I got caffeine, caffeine, running through my veins. |
| 262 | -->Got me going like the clappers, and it's driving me insane. |
| 263 | -->I got caffeine, caffeine, am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? |
| 264 | -->I have no need for your human sleep, I have caffeine. |
| 265 | * "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JezOtqsRr2s Espresso]]" by Music/ToddRundgren. |
| 266 | -->Let's go get a hot espresso |
| 267 | -->Or maybe a cappuccino |
| 268 | -->So get me a caffe latte |
| 269 | -->Make it with lots of chocolate-e! |
| 270 | %%* Music/AliceCooper's "Caffeine". |
| 271 | * Norah Jones has "In the Morning", which sounds like a breakup song, but is really about trying to kick a coffee addiction. |
| 272 | * The Music/{{Anthrax}} song "Cupajoe" has the singer saying they really need a cup of coffee, go get him a cup of joe. BLACK AND STRONG. |
| 273 | * The Music/BeastieBoys mention their fondness for coffee several times, including in ''Super Disco Breakin' '', which starts with the line "Fifty cups of coffee and you know it's on". Coupled with ''Intergalactic'''s claim that "I like my sugar with coffee and cream", one can conclude that the boys' partying lifestyle requires a ''lot'' of energy. |
| 274 | * Inverted in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3MqmV47Lq8 The Coffee Song]]", in which it's the ''producers'' who have a problem. |
| 275 | --> Way down among Brazilians\ |

| 317 | * ''VideoGame/AmateurSurgeon'' has [[PunnyName Karl Pucchino]], who's so obsessed with coffee that he wears a parody of hawaiian tourist shirts with "I ♡ JAVA" mugs instead of flowers, and had a stash of coffee "hidden" inside him to get past customs on his way out of the "coffee capital of the world", and as a result [[MotorMouth speaks so fast he tells himself to shut up]] while trying to describe his predicament to you. In fact, his caffeine craze results in the only surgery that can be failed due to [[PuzzleBoss a patient's heart rate being too]] ''[[PuzzleBoss high.]]'' |
| 318 | * ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': At Noctis City, a civilian who desperately craves caffeine disguises himself as a coffee dispenser to trick people into depositing money so that he could use the cash to buy coffee for himself. |
| 319 | * Enforcer from ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'' is almost always seen with a black coffee in hand and is quite particular about its taste. His Rhodes Island medical file makes an off-hand comment that he needs to start drinking it in moderation. |
| 320 | * ''VideoGame/BattleTech2018'' has a random event wherein your ship runs out of coffee due to a supply error, and Medusa and Glitch almost come to blows over the last cup. |
| 321 | * As befitting his tech-head position, Reed Wahl of ''VideoGame/BioShock2'''s DLC campaign ''Minerva's Den'' is something of a caffeine junkie. His office is littered with unopened bottles of Hop-Up Cola. And yet, he blames the ADAM for his insomnia... |

| 323 | * Subverted and exploited in ''VideoGame/ClamMan''. Pete drinks lots of coffee, yet he slacks off and sleeps at work a lot. He admits that he only drinks all that coffee to trick his superiors into thinking he's someone who ''wouldn't'' sleep at work. |
| 324 | * ''VideoGame/CoffeeCrisis'', naturally, since your characters are a pair of coffee baristas inexplicably fending off an AlienInvasion. At the end of each stage, your players (or you and the AI, on single-player mode) get to have a contest on who can drink the most cups of coffee in 15 seconds. |
| 325 | * ''VideoGame/CoffeeTalk'': |
| 326 | ** Freya comes to the café almost every night for a triple shot expresso. This habit intensifies the further she gets along her novel draft. |
| 327 | ** ''Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly'': When Lucas was younger and broke, he'd drink lots of Bee'n Buzzy, a highly caffeinated drink that's concentrated with milk and honey, to replace his meals. [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome However, this made his stomach extremely acidic]], which is why he can't handle coffee anymore. |
| 328 | * Unsurprisingly, [[TheAce Espresso Cookie]] in ''VideoGame/CookieRunKingdom'', who consumes a ''lot'' of coffee for the sake of experimentation, and has come to be addicted to the substance. |
| 329 | * In ''VideoGame/DayOfTheTentacle'', Dr. Fred's hands are jittering constantly since he's on a continuous caffeine high. In fact, he drinks coffee all the time to avoid falling asleep, nightmares and sleepwalking, and hasn't slept for ten years! As a result, when you need him to fall asleep to solve a puzzle, all you have to do is pour some decaf into his mug, and that by itself is enough for InstantSedation. |
| 330 | * Francis York Morgan in ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'' relies upon coffee not just for a quick pick-me-up, but to predict the future. Hence the meme, "F...K! In the coffee!" |
| 331 | ** Coffee and caffeinated soft drinks also refill York's sleep meter, so it's possible for him to go the entire game without ever going to sleep outside of a cutscene. Then again, there are [[DarkWorld consequences]] to staying up too late... |
| 332 | * In ''VideoGame/FeralFury'', coffee is a health pickup, which heals all injury. Medkits, for comparison, only heal half of a square. |
| 333 | * In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' while not outright addicted, Constance discovers the joys of coffee and introduces it to Hapi. Hapi then immediately craves more and Constance brings some to every meal she and Hapi share together with Byleth. |
| 334 | * In the ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'' trilogy, the Elsior's resident doctor, Kela Hazel, mentions that she loves how Vanilla prepares the coffee ''exactly'' how she likes it, and she drinks around 13.7 cups per day on average. |
| 335 | * ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'': Dr. Catherine Halsey's personal journal (included in the special editions of ''VideoGame/HaloReach'') is peppered with amusing one-liners one would expect to hear from [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Kathryn Janeway]], including "Need more DARK coffee. Why can't they grow decent coffee on this planet?!", "No work before coffee" ([[SeriousBusiness with all the notes preceding it scratched out]]), and "She will answer for making me drink ''decaf''." [[ThisIsUnforgivable The word "decaf" is underlined in an angry squiggle.]] In the novels her offices are often littered with days old coffee cups. |
| 336 | * In ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade'', the Wizard stays up until 2 AM, and is obsessed with stargazing. Not surprisingly, his favorite items are all coffee-related. |
| 337 | * ''VideoGame/HiFiRush'': |
| 338 | ** [[BigBad Kale Vandelay]] treats getting his coffee as SeriousBusiness, seemingly considering it even more important than stopping TheResistance force trying to bring him down. He immediately backtracks his order to shut down the entire campus upon realizing that that includes the café, and is enraged upon learning that [[RunningGag the Vandelay building's coffee machines are currently only capable of producing decaf coffee]]. |
| 339 | ** Korsica, likely due to being a {{workaholic}}, is a case of this, though not to the same extent as Kale. She's appalled upon discovering that the Vandelay building's coffee machines are only capable of producing decaf coffee, to the point of using the PA system to complain about the situation. [[spoiler:The ending to the game implies that she eventually kicks her caffeine addiction, as she's shown drinking coffee with a coaster that says "System runs on decaf"]]. |
| 340 | * Lola Rembrite in ''VideoGame/HuniePop2'' is an admitted caffeine junkie, mentioning that she often drinks coffee at nearly every part of the day in order to stay productive. It's even one of her baggage traits. |
| 341 | * ''VideoGame/KanColle'': Most USN ships have hourly lines involving drinking or serving coffee, in line with the real life attitude the navy has towards its coffee. |
| 342 | * ''VideoGame/LobotomyCorporation'' has Chesed, whose sprite is always seen with a mug of coffee, to the point that [[spoiler: his corrupted form and his true form as a robot]] still have it. He also has it in [[VideoGame/LibraryOfRuina the sequel]], albeit with a different logo on the mug. |
| 343 | * ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda:'' One of the very first things Sara Ryder says in the game is "can't explore space without my coffee." A coffee machine can be found in her quarters on the ''Tempest''. Her brother Scott, conversely, does not share the enthusiasm (it gives him the jitters). |
| 344 | * Jaehee Kang from ''VisualNovel/MysticMessenger'' drinks more than her fair share of coffee, since her job as Jumin's BeleagueredAssistant often requires her to pull all-nighters. During her route, if you encourage her to explore any hobbies she might have, she finds that her passion for coffee extends beyond just drinking it, and she begins enthusiastically learning about different brewing practices, how the beans are harvested, etc. Her good ending is her happily leaving her assistant job and opening up a cafe with you. |
| 345 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Octodad}}: Dadliest Catch'', Octodad is unable to stand up straight until he's had his morning coffee. A flashback chapter shows drinking coffee [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum somehow gave Octodad the ability to stand up and impersonate a human]]. |
| 346 | * Prosecutor Godot from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'' is obsessed with coffee, it being his "gimmick" of sorts. He often uses obscure coffee metaphors when describing his case, drinks up to seventeen cups in one trial day, has coffee served to him in a mug ''slid across the prosecutor's desk'', does {{Spit Take}}s (sometimes even spending several seconds taking a drink for the ''sole purpose'' of doing a spit take), and throws his coffee at Phoenix when things aren't looking so good. [[spoiler:He was also previously poisoned, which put him into a coma for 5 years. The smell of a doctor's cup of coffee was what woke him up.]] |
| 347 | ** In Case 4 of ''Trials and Tribulations'', which is [[AnachronicOrder set six years before the present]] [[spoiler:it becomes very clear that Diego Armando is Godot when he starts making coffee metaphors to Mia]]. |
| 348 | ** It also ends up being an important symbol at the end of the game, as when he drinks his [[OneLastSmoke One Last Cup]] [[spoiler:before he is arrested for the case's murder, Phoenix drinks one as well, indicating reconciliation]]. |
| 349 | * In ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'', mushrooms fall asleep during the day unless they are given a Coffee Bean. |
| 350 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': |
| 351 | ** The old man near the start of ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' and remakes is very grumpy until he's had his coffee, and [[NPCRoadblock wouldn't let you pass]] until he's had it. |
| 352 | ** In the original Japanese version, he was [[{{Bowdlerize}} drunk]] and had to sober up. Becomes FridgeBrilliance when you realize that coffee is a popular method of doing this, so the translation still managed to maintain the joke. |
| 353 | ** The titular ''VideoGame/DetectivePikachu'' has coffee as his [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Trademark Favorite Drink]] and knows a surprisingly good deal about it. |
| 354 | * ''VideoGame/{{Potionomics}}'' has Luna, a moth marketing guru who's constantly online, constantly monitoring the rapidly shifting developments of her target markets and clients, and constantly high-strung and stressed trying to keep up with it all. She uses a ''lot'' of caffeine to keep up with the brisk pace of her chosen business, and one of her two {{Leitmotif}}s is even called "Luna's Coffee Break." |
| 355 | * In ''VideoGame/RhythmDoctor'', Cole comes in very dependent on his coffee to create music. This becomes {{Deconstructed}} very quickly, seeing as this behavior brings on significant enough issues with his heart that the Rhythm Doctor treatment is required--and even once this begins, he ''refuses'' to set it down even as he launches into an SVT attack. Dr. Ada makes very clear that he needs to find another means of motivation. By the end of act 2, he's switched to decaf. |
| 356 | * ''VideoGame/ScarletNexus'': Arashi, who has SuperSpeed and a metabolism to match, is always drinking soda, a regular source of additional easily-burned simple carbohydrates and of course, caffeine. Once Yuito’s RelationshipValues with her are high enough, forming a PsychicLink with her to borrow her powers often has Yuito saying "I owe you a soda". Once you actually buy Arashi some, the entire HomeBase gets littered with the cans. Arashi also has [[CorporateSponsoredSuperhero a sponsorship deal]] with a soda company. |
| 357 | * Mach in ''VisualNovel/{{SC2VN}}'' goes out to buy energy drinks so much that he starts to view the local store clerk as a father figure. |
| 358 | * [[MeanBoss Kirsten Geary]] of ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' suffers from a crippling addiction to lattes, and requires regular doses of coffee just to keep her in a good mood. Plus, she can only start her day with a very rare and expensive blend brewed from genetically-altered dark roast beans passed through the digestive tract of an endangered wild cat and harvested from its droppings; starting her off on anything else can only end in tears. |
| 359 | * In ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheWoolBall'', coffee pots are pickups that are the equivalent of armor, giving you resistance from damage. |
| 360 | * ''VideoGame/ShantaeRiskysRevenge'' has a twist on this. In [[VideoGame/Shantae2002 the first game]], Shantae meets a number of [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies]], but they don't attack her on sight and are as intelligent and as coherent as any human. ''Risky's Revenge'' reveals the reason for this: the zombies drink coffee, and the coffee makes them smart. If they go too long without coffee, however, they degenerate into mindlessly violent zombies. So in their case, caffeine really ''is'' a necessity. In ''Half-Genie Hero'', [[spoiler:Hypno Baron manages to get his hands on a spell to summon unspeakable evil by trading Abner a large sum of coffee for it (in Abner's defense, they made the trade very early in the morning). Much to Hypno Baron's ultimate frustration and the player's amusement, said "unspeakable evil" is Squid Baron.]] |
| 361 | * The fan game ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest Incinerations'' opens with Roger Wilco stumbling out of a broom closet in search of coffee. It isn't until he's caffeinated himself that he notices half the kitchen is missing thanks to his ship being under attack. |
| 362 | * In ''VideoGame/StardewValley'', coffee gives the player a speed bonus that ''stacks'' with other speed bonuses (such as the horse, or spicy food). In the late-game, when energy is not a problem but daylight is, that speed boost can prove so useful that players may wonder how they managed without it. Sebastian can also mention in casual dialogue that coffee might improve his focus ([[TruthInTelevision which is the case for some ADHD sufferers]]). |
| 363 | * In one point in the story of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', you befriend an innkeeper, who lets you stay the night at her inn. When you wake up, she asks [[HeroicMime Mario]] how he's feeling, and you have two ways you can respond: |
| 364 | -->1. "Like a new man!"\ |
| 365 | 2. "Need coffee, keep away... |
| 366 | * This could be true for the Scout in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''. In an early trailer, his motto simply reads "Too. Much. Caffeine." Plus, two of his unlockable weapons are energy drinks. |
| 367 | ** Forget the Scout. The [[http://www.teamfortress.com/sniper.htm Meet the Sniper]] video shows him, as the hours go by, drinking cup after cup after ''cup'' of coffee. Where else do you think the Jarate comes from? Admittedly, it ''is'' decaf, as shown by the coffee pot having an orange handle. It does still explain the Jarate, though. |
| 368 | * ''VideoGame/Tekken8''[='s=] new fighter Azucena lives on a coffee farm and her whole character gimmick is all about spreading the joys of drinking coffee and pursuing the best brew. She even has a bit of a beef with Lili due to Lili's preference for tea. |
| 369 | * In ''VideoGame/ThisWarOfMine'', some of the survivors are addicted to coffee, and their mood will go down if they can't get any. |
| 370 | * An old DOS game ''VideoGame/ToxicBunny'' featured a, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin bunny]]... obsessed with "weaponry and caffeine". Seriously, it's difficult to find a plot-related speech that doesn't mention coffee. |
| 371 | * ''VideoGame/TwilightHeroes'': Superheroes rely on sugar and caffeine to stay awake while adventuring at night. |
| 372 | -->[Geary] reportedly oversaw a wetwork operation while sipping Dunkin' Donuts. There were no survivors. |
| 373 | * ''VideoGame/{{Wandersong}}'': The Coffee Pirates love to drink coffee. Deconstructed just a bit in the PlayableEpilogue, where Francisco says that it's hard to get any sleep with how much coffee he drinks. |
| 374 | [[/folder]] |
| 375 | |
| 376 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 377 | * Blitzo of ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' is often seen drinking coffee, but this is most notable on his [[CharacterBlog Instagram]] where [[OnlySaneMan Moxxie]] is often trying to encourage him to have a healthier diet. |
| 378 | * ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Within the space of a single lesson, Doctor Oobleck's lecture is constantly interrupted by him pausing to guzzle coffee after coffee, of several different types, including espresso-shot mugs. He also never stops moving for long and his jittery behaviour indicates he can barely stand still for a moment. His weapon is eventually revealed to be his coffee thermos flask, which morphs into a flamethrower. |
| 379 | * ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'': There are two skits involving Nora's addiction to coffee, and how it is very ''very'' [[GRatedDrug bad for her]]. Nora drinking coffee can break down the barriers between entire dimensions. |
| 380 | * Brew, on his Website/YouTube channel and the "On The Hill" channel, is a recluse who loves coffee and will become extremely distressed if deprived of his caffeine. |
| 381 | [[/folder]] |
| 382 | |
| 383 | [[folder:Web Comics]] |
| 384 | * Ruth in ''Webcomic/{{Altermeta}}'' has rarely been seen ''not'' holding a cup of coffee. In fact, everyone around him carries emergency caffeine sources, just in case. |
| 385 | * ''Webcomic/AntiheroForHire'' normally has the action taking place at night. When the hero has to get up during the day, [[http://www.antiheroforhire.com/d/20050715.html he needs his coffee]]. He ends up spending most of the arc looking for some. |
| 386 | * In one contemporary arc strip of ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'', Arthur, who is decidedly NotAMorningPerson, is shown pouring coffee on his cereal. It's left ambiguous how intentional this is. |
| 387 | * In ''WebComic/BlueMilkSpecial'' Darth Vader is addicted to coffee (which he drinks with a straw out of his favorite ''Franchise/StarTrek'' mug), to the point where a) he had a temporary truce with Admiral Ackbar so they could get coffee, b) he placed a higher priority on getting the coffee machine on the second Death Star fixed than the second Death Star, and c) [[spoiler: it triggered his HeelFaceTurn, as Palpatine forcing him to fight Luke led to his beloved 'Muggy' getting shattered.]] |
| 388 | * [[http://www.bouletcorp.com/blog/2006/02/15/le-matin-des-morts-vivants/ This strip]] from the blog of the french cartoonist Boulet. |
| 389 | * A lack of coffee drives [[Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy Quantum Cop]] to [[http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=89 police brutality.]] |
| 390 | * What convinces Blaine's employees in ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' that he's been possessed or replaced is his pouring copious amounts of milk into his coffee, since he drinks his black every morning. |
| 391 | * Margaret Browning from ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' is a textbook example, her bucket-sized coffee cup being known as "The Browning" and formerly known as "The Suicide". |
| 392 | * In ''Webcomic/CthulhuSlippers'', [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/hastur-hastur-hastur/ do NOT summon Hastur before he's had his coffee]]. |
| 393 | * [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2007-05-31 This strip]] of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''. |
| 394 | * ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'': If you touch Inquisitor Eastwood's coffee, [[BerserkButton he will break your arm]]. |
| 395 | ** His addiction to caffeine even overcomes his [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes phobia of spiders]]. |
| 396 | * ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'': |
| 397 | ** Florence Ambrose tends to take exception to having her coffee taken away, [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00421.htm as only a carnivore can]]. She also explicitly cited the availability of coffee as a benefit of restoring power to Sam's ship. Amusingly, another strip indicates that she can't (or at least shouldn't) actually ''drink'' coffee due to her canine physiology, but as an engineer she craves the smell of it. |
| 398 | --->'''Winston:''' ''[Thinking]'' She growls when I get near her coffee. That's almost human. |
| 399 | ** [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2500/fc02457.htm The coffee maker still brewing]] is implied to be the reason that the compound [[spoiler:where Dr. Bowman is being held]] wasn't able to get above 50% readiness in under 60 seconds. |
| 400 | * In ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'', part of the test to see if a geek is '[[ChosenOne The One]]' is a test of caffeine addiction. Fooker passed it by enjoying coffee that has congealed to the consistency of tar. Sharon passed it by chewing coffee beans and washing them down with more coffee. |
| 401 | * ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': |
| 402 | ** Vanamonde von Mekkhan spends all his time in a coffee shop in Mechanicsburg, and certainly does enjoy his coffee. He has even written a textbook on coffee preparation (under a pseudonym): ''[[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070528 Bean There, Done That]]''. |
| 403 | ** The first time Agatha has coffee, everybody else agrees that she doesn't need a second cup. [[HilarityEnsues Ever]]. |
| 404 | ---> The second (Heterodyne girl) is making coffee... [[MadScientist there have been two explosions already]]. |
| 405 | ** Lumi von Mekkhan from the Franz Scortchmaw sidestory [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20221202 panics]] on being told the trackless wastes around a dragon's lair are unlikely to have any coffee shops. She's later dissuaded from attacking the "ghost" Hector when [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20221219 he offers her chocolate-covered coffee beans]]. Given her surname, it seems like this is a family trait. |
| 406 | * White from ''Webcomic/GreyIs'', especially in the mornings but it seems to be his drink of choice all the time. When he first gets back after two years away, the first thing he does after greeting Black is search the house for coffee. |
| 407 | * Sydney, from Webcomic/GrrlPower; she used to ''just'' work in a comic book store, but ended up joining a superhero team that has [[MildlyMilitary certain rules in place]]... such as doing laps at 7 in the morning, no excuse for going to a club the previous night as a P.R. move. One particular morning, she drank so much coffee (and energy drinks, and several bowls of spicy noodles) that the blood pressure cuff exploded. No, the doctor doesn't know how it could happen either- Sydney doesn't have any inherent abilities that could do that. |
| 408 | * Wes in ''Webcomic/HereThereBeMonsters'' turns in a report that is just [[CheekCopy scans of a butt]] after a long night and excuses this by saying: |
| 409 | --> ''"I'm like a zombie without my coffee!"'' |
| 410 | * In ''Webcomic/HolidayWars'', Tegan, the comic's protagonist, is a coffee junkie and declares so [[http://www.holiday-wars.com/blog/2010/12/03/episode-95/ in this episode.]] |
| 411 | * Dante, the Head Programmer in ''[[Webcomic/InkTank Angst Technology]]'', can tell from nearly fifteen feet away if the coffee in the office machine has been replaced with decaf. |
| 412 | * Ada from ''Webcomic/JackiesFridge'' likes [[http://jackiesfridge.comicgenesis.com/d/20001108.html her]] [[http://jackiesfridge.comicgenesis.com/d/20001110.html coffee]] very strong! |
| 413 | %%* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'': Psycho Mantis. |
| 414 | * A girl in ''Webcomic/MandatoryRollerCoaster'' asks "Have you ever drank so much coffee that your pee smells like coffee?" |
| 415 | * Ralph from ''Webcomic/{{Melonpool}}'' is an avid drinker of the stuff. |
| 416 | * Subverted in ''Webcomic/{{PVP}}'', where Brent Sienna is initially [[http://www.pvponline.com/comic/2005/02/18/feb-18-2005/ addicted to coffee]] but has to give it up for health reasons. Then when PVP magazine is in crisis, and Brent insists on coffee to "give him his edge", it turns out [[http://www.pvponline.com/comic/2005/03/19/sat-mar-19/ it was decaf]] in a classic example of "[[MagicFeather the magic was in you all along]]." |
| 417 | * ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': |
| 418 | ** The prequel book ''[[Recap/TheOrderOfTheStickStartOfDarkness Start of Darkness]]'' reveals that before he became a lich, Xykon loved coffee (he even refused to let Redcloak and Right-eye tell them about their plan until he had some), and extolled the virtues of bad coffee (as he puts it, when you drink truly horrible coffee, you force yourself to re-experience every good cup you've ever had to block out the slop you're currently pouring down your throat). When he tries to drink his first cup of coffee after becoming a lich and discovers he no longer has a sense of taste, he reacts... poorly. |
| 419 | ** A strip in the actual comic has Belkar get into this state after waking up with a hangover after a New Year's Celebration. Unfortunately for him, Vaarsuvius not only filtered the coffee through Roy's sweatsocks, but he also rigged the coffee can with [[StuffBlowingUp Explosive Runes]]. "Good to the last boom," indeed. |
| 420 | * An early ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'' strip, from when the writer admits she was going for the newspaper comic audience. |
| 421 | -->'''Millie:''' I don't care if it does stunt my growth. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Need. COFFEE.]] |
| 422 | * [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=800 This]] ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' shows a [[JustifiedTrope justified]] example. Really surprising the trope doesn't crop up more often since QC centers around a ''[[LocalHangout coffee shop]]''. |
| 423 | ** In another strip, someone offers Faye coffee first thing in the morning, and she drinks it straight from the carafe. |
| 424 | * ''Webcomic/RoosterTeethComics'' has a RunningGag about Matt having died from lack of caffeine. |
| 425 | * Invoked during the "Glamour Assault" arc of ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'', when [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2006-05-18 Shodan needed to get a building evacuated immediately]]. |
| 426 | --> The coffee guy has jury duty at three, and will be closing for the day in about five minutes. |
| 427 | * Lynette from ''Sharing a Universe'' quickly got hooked on the stuff and turned herself into [[http://sharingauniverse.comicgenesis.com/d/20031020.html "The Coffee Hunter"]] stalking the city after those precious beans when Alison decided to intervene and stop supplying her addiction. |
| 428 | * [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4271 Baby Blue]] holds it while demonstrating NotAMorningPerson in ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}''. Then, she is disgruntled for additional reasons. |
| 429 | ** [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2680 Monique]] moves from "Kill me now." to "I can move mountains!" |
| 430 | * In ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' when Torg and Riff briefly got regular 9-to-5 jobs they became coffee zombies in the morning. |
| 431 | ** Later, making everyone addicted to high-octane "coffee" (that is explosive in its undiluted state) is just one form of GovernmentDrugEnforcement in 4U City. And cutting off the coffee pipeline sets off a massive revolution. |
| 432 | * In ''Webcomic/ThreeJaguars'', [[http://threejaguarscomic.net/?comic=introduction-page-2 Business Manager lives on it.]] [[http://threejaguarscomic.net/?comic=tomorrow-is-launch-day She even is drinking coffee in preparation for the actual launch.]] |
| 433 | * Liam from ''Webcomic/TrippingOverYou'' is described as "having blood that is more caffeine than plasma", such that his boyfriend gets him a coffeemaker for an ApologyGift instead of wine or flowers. When his host serves him decaf, he takes one polite sip and discreetly pushes the mug away. |
| 434 | * ''Webcomic/UserFriendly'' uses this trope from time to time, particularly with the Crud Puppy. |
| 435 | ** Early strips of the comic have tech support member Greg harassed by a Kool-Aid Man-esque can of diet cola when he decides to try to cut back on caffeine. |
| 436 | ** "I just rewrote the Linux kernel!" "When did you learn to program?" "This morning!" |
| 437 | ** After attempting to make a truly Uninterruptible Power Supply powered by uranium, Pitr reveals that as of recently he's been making coffee with heavy water. |
| 438 | ** What's the first thing they restore power to after moving their operations into an abandoned nuclear silo? Nope, not lights... "Ahhh, truly dark roast." |
| 439 | %%* Monica of ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'' gets like this [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/charades/ sometimes.]] [[http://wapsisquare.com/comic/flattentheearth/ So does Bud.]] |
| 440 | * ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard'' is a great example. The main character "Doc" brews his own Mt Dew because the normal stuff is too weak. |
| 441 | ** One arc involves Doc drinking energy shots by the quart after he runs out of Dew and coffee, resulting in one of the more "realistic" portrayals of the effects of KlatchianCoffee. |
| 442 | * In ''WebComic/YokokasQuest'', Grace requires a coffee [[NotAMorningPerson when waking up]], and stops at Starbucks for another, before arriving at school. She's also heartbroken to discover that Cisum doesn't have coffee (but later finds out that it does, and Yokoka just had no idea what coffee was). |

| 446 | * Virtual vlogger WebVideo/AmiYamato is a big coffee-drinker, to the extent that her title sequence is just her collecting a coffee from Starbucks. In her very first video, moving back to London after spending two years in Tokyo, she is pleased to note that the greasy-spoon café near her flat has become a Starbucks, but laments this in a later video when suffering from insomnia, which she suspects may be down to having drunk one too many cappuccinos. The pinnacle of her coffee addiction has to be "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g19TrHt-4hQ Waking Bad]]", where she dreams of herself as ''Series/BreakingBad'''s Gus Fring threatening Walter for failing to bring her the double-shot vanilla latte she ordered. |
| 447 | * In the web-published novel series ''Literature/ShadowOfTheTemplar'', team leader Simon is a complete addict, to the point where he took to kissing someone who'd just taken a sip of coffee when, post-surgery, he was banned from the drink, leading to lines like "Oh God, you taste like ''coffee''". The coffee maker in the team's headquarters is named [[CargoShip "Mrs. Simon Drake (<3)".]] |
| 448 | * Deliberately subverted in [[http://subculture.blip.tv/ this podcast]] where the hosts open every show with "Morning Coffee". To date they have never once had coffee during this segment, with beverages sometimes deeply oddball to avoid it. Also some of the co-hosts do a segment dubbed "Evening Pint" where they drink nothing but coffee. |
| 449 | * Another flavor of "Morning Coffee" comes [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2677 as a Firefox plugin]] for pulling up your daily internet dosage of addiction. It's an especially good tool for WebComics folk, [[ScheduleSlip provided your comics all remember to update on time]]. |
| 450 | * ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': |
| 451 | ** In the devisor labs at Whateley Academy, the mad scientists gather every morning over a specially designed brewer to enjoy coffee so strong it's... well, just read the quote. |
| 452 | --->''"Imagine a twenty-gallon stainless-steel vat of water, heated by a kind of micro-fusion reactor and made to work as a giant engine of percolation. Add to this the whole deal a filter that literally rips every useful bit of anti-nutrient and caffeine in the grounds and you have yourself some potent stuff. Our coffee is considered a deadly weapon in three states."'' |
