    Aha! But in the semi-distant future of my Analog story "Empty Barrels" they not only drink coffee, but the central characters of the story grow their own in tunnels on an icy planet. Indeed, as the assistant editor at the time noted, they drank enough of the stuff during the story that they could have reached orbit without a spaceship.

    My fantasy characters drink tea. Because, like me, they're genteel and cultured. Pass me my morningstar, I see vermin!

    In the future, coffee will come in cans and be carbonated. #annemccaffrey

    I'm already imagining wars that might have been fought over coffee had it been introduced to Europe before the middle ages. #annemccaffrey

    in the future all coffee will be freeze dried or pre-ground and a small, underground, guerrilla movement of growers that produce only shade grown beans sold whole and only whole will have to fight for survival and i will be their leader. Vive la résistance! Vive le véritable espresso!

    In The Forever War, the common theme among the different time periods was bitching about the quality of the coffee/soya/ersatz coffee. #annemccaffrey

    Well, in Anne McCaffene's defense, klah was a bark, not a berry; and they went into how one of the first things an Exploration & Evaluation team did was find an indeginous coffee-equivalent. #annemccaffrey

    @AmishJohn: Exactly. They prioritized finding a coffee-like substance right upon landing. These are people who know that to build a new civilization, you need caffeine. #annemccaffrey

    In Orca, I think, Brust actually explains the process that goes into making klava, which is actually more like espresso than regular coffee. It also includes some kind of analogue for bagels. #annemccaffrey

    @braak: Don't keep us in suspense, what was the analogue called? Also, klava sounds like a Klingon word. #annemccaffrey

    @Ruthless, If you let me: Sadly, I can't remember. Klava I remember, norska (the analogue, I think, for rabbits), I remember, but not that one.

    There's a lot of weird crap to remember if you read Stephen Brust. #annemccaffrey

    @braak: In one of the books he goes into the difference between klava and coffee and in the last one Vlad had to put up with drinking coffee while he was out with the easterners. #annemccaffrey

    @Spaceboy: That's right! I think that's actually the part in Orca that I was thinking of, and the difference between klava and coffee is basically the difference between espresso and coffee, or something like that. #annemccaffrey

    As someone who drinks tea more then coffee, and nothing more then tea, I don't really notice the coffee replacements. #annemccaffrey
