Janeway x Coffee

Janeway x Coffee is the cargo ship between Kathryn Janeway and coffee from the Star Trek fandom.

Canon
Janeway's favourite drink is coffee, specifically black coffee (with no milk or sugar). She was addicted to it and had coffee every morning, sometimes instead of breakfast. One day, she even had four cups of coffee before the morning was over, and she doubted it would be her last. On the occasion, she enjoyed the coffee with cream. The chef of Voyager, Neelix, was familiar with her order, and she had apparently not changed it in over 7 years.

In Janeway's first year in the Delta Quadrant, power reserves were running low, and so it was decided that they wouldn't use the replicators to save power. This meant that Janeway would struggle having her regular black coffee. One day, there was no coffee at all. So Neelix gives her an alternative coffee (nicknamed as Neelix's "even-better-than-coffee subsititute"), made from a proteinaceous seed. Janeway is specific with her coffee, and does not want it, but yields and agrees to try it. This coffee he pours is thick, and it disgusts here, but luckily she is calls to the bridge before she can try it.

In an alternate timeline, she tried to give up coffee after she returned to the Alpha Quadrant. She instead opted for tea, though she had a relapse when travelled back in time to Voyager. She told her younger-self that she had no idea why she'd given it up.

On the USS Protostar, their is a programmed Kathryn Janeway hologram that provides as a training simulation for the crew on their journey back to Federation space. She is programmed with many attributes of the original Janeway, including her love of coffee. At many times, the hologram can be seen drinking holographic coffee from a mug.

Fanon
This is a crack ship in the fandom. Janeway's love for coffee has become an iconic part of her character, with many fans associating Janeway with coffee. There is also official merchandise relating to her love for coffee, with mugs and alike with 'coffee black' written on them. The quote: "there's coffee in that nebula" has specifically become an iconic quote, and is well-known in the Star Trek fandom.

More famously, astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti dressed as a Starfleet officier on the International Space Station. She quoted Janeway and made a tweet saying "There's coffee in that nebula". The space station was getting a shipment of supplies, including a coffee machine.
