Coffee replicates then mug

A malfunctioning replicator assembles a mug, after dispensing the coffee.

"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."

- Kathryn Janeway (VOY: "Hunters")

Coffee was an Earth beverage, produced from the bean-like seeds of the several types of coffee plant. There were also a number of comparable beverages from other planets that were also considered to be "coffee".

Basic Earth coffee was generally served hot and was a deep brown in color, though it could be modified in countless ways – served frozen or cold, with cream, sugar, or any number of flavorings. It was usually high in the stimulant caffeine, and was used by many for these properties, especially in the morning.
