I love all the slightly disguised coffee subs in sci-fi... kaff is common, klah in Pern (did Pern start this whole thing? How did this become sci-fi worldbuilding 101?) Coff-tea doesn't sound too appealing though lol
I dunno I'd bet people would just keep on calling it coffee. Except that one historian who'd be all "actually our coffee bears little resemblance to Ancient Earthan coffee, as the beans were modified to grow on Gamma Bucephalus X--"
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes! No matter what sci-fi or dystopian future, humans will still be firmly addicted to their caffeine and magically it will still be available in all universes.... we can‘t even imagine one without it. 😂 6y
llwheeler @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 😂 so true 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @llwheeler The addiction level is strong with that one! 6y
jmtrivera @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @llwheeler That makes me think about how one of the things I've always liked about Star Trek is that it takes place hundreds of years in the future, we've got all sorts of alien delicacies, and food replicators that can make anything, and the characters are like, yeah, but I need my coffee/tea/hot chocolate. ☕☕☕ 6y
llwheeler @jmtrivera Haha true! 6y
