Captain Janeway 's lifelong love of coffee is one of the best moments of characterisation on Star Trek .

30 years ago today, “ The Cloud ” introduced us to her love of the good stuff in a legendary moment.

It ties Janeway ’s coffee directly into that plight, personifying it, but also mirroring that failure through it.

Giving Janeway a love of coffee doesn’t just humanize her, it becomes part of a nuanced picture of her as a person in that it’s occasionally treated as a flaw as much as it is a charming aspect of her character.

It brings the position of a Captain right back down to earth, metaphorically speaking considering how far away from it for the bulk of the show.
