Coffee...the final frontier
These are the voyages of the Javaship Koffee
Its bottomless-cup mission
To explore strange new Coffees
To seek out new Kaffes
And new Cafes
To boldly go where no Coffee has gone before

Captain's Log: sometime ago, in the early 80's.
I decided to tape episodes of the TV Show STAR-TREK. (CLARIFICATION:I decided to tape the AUDIO from the TV, placing the Cassette player and mike in front of the TV speaker.)

I would start and stop it around the commercials. I did this off and on, on an occasional basis. UNTIL I realized that I might just try to record ALL of the Episodes!

Eventually I was successful and had recorded all 79 Episodes (including the Pilot: "The Cage" starring Jeffery Hunter, as the Captain.)

To this day, I can't remember what I did with them. I may have tossed them into the local galactic landfill, via the "trash pickup shuttle"!
I am at peace with that, as I have 'lived long and prospered'.

NOTE: 'Live long and prosper' is translated, if that is the correct word, from the Vulcan language phrase 'dif-tor heh smusma', which was so uttered in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The phrase echoes the Hebrew 'Shalom aleichem' and the Arabic 'Salaam alaykum', which roughly translate as 'peace be upon you'.

"We have entered the Duncan Solar System, and have come across 8 Planets....or a 2/3 Dozen! Coincidentally ship's replicator mysteriously stopped replicating donuts. We will be visiting es ach Planet's Fly Thru Window, to identify their flavor and toppings"

"We hope to document What Life on a Donut Planet is like.
initial findings determine them to be 'SWEET'!"

Live Long and Caffeinate: Why Star Trek Is Obsessed with Coffee

"From Earl Grey to Klingon coffee, traveling through space requires a hot beverage or two"

Captain's Log: Today

"In Star Trek, a Starfleet vessel is like a 24-hour IHOP. In space there is no such thing as morning, so breakfast can be eaten anytime, at all times. Likewise, members of Starfleet guzzle caffeine like long-haul truckers: unbound from diurnal rhythm, fighting to stay awake in an unchanging now, an eternal night."

"Caffeine sources in the Star Trek universe are of particular importance. No other beverage or foodstuff gets the kind of prominence that coffee and tea do: ever-present, often discussed, disastrously substituted. Sulu, stuck on an ice planet in The Original Series: “Do you think you might be able to find a long rope somewhere and lower us down a pot of hot coffee?” Picard, in The Next Generation, with his regular order of “tea, Earl Grey, hot.” Kira, presented with a caffeine-free version of raktajino—the Klingon coffee that took over Deep Space Nine’s promenade the same time as Starbucks’s IRL rise: “You make me sound like some kind of addict.” A determined Janeway in Voyager: “There’s coffee in that nebula!”
 
Star Trek: What Eating On The Enterprise Would Really Be Like

"Star Trek" depicts a future where humanity has finally achieved a utopian society — one where different races, genders, and species all exist harmoniously together. And while some might claim Zefram Cochrane (James Cromwell), the inventor of the warp drive, ushered in this new age when his ship made contact with alien life and helped unite everyone on Earth, the truth is humanity owes a greater debt to a different piece of future technology — the food replicator."

"Made popular on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" ("TNG"), food replicators are found on every starship and most Federation planets, and they can convert energy into virtually any type of food or drink. Thanks to this invention, food insecurity and starvation are truly problems of the past, and everyone who lives on Earth or serves aboard a ship like the U.S.S. Enterprise can go about their business with a full stomach — which plays a key part in maintaining the peaceful society humanity thrives in." READ MORE

"Captain's Log 23.28.07.900
It has been 48 hours since Captain's Coffeemaker has been stuck on "8-O'Cloak Setting" and have been unable to locate personal Coffee-making Unit. Ensign Garfield has been making coffee runs and we are holding our own!

"Captain's Log: Supplemental
Latest scans indicate Cloaking Failure has spread Ship-wide. May even be affecting Entire "Coffee-Trek: Where No Coffee Has Gone Before" thread. Reports confirm that we have had no contact from SF forums since thread launch, and may be relegated to the Underground Section of SF forums, at the mercy of the good Governor Matrix."

"William Shatner did what he could to bring a bit of levity to fans’ days amid the novel coronavirus pandemic by dipping back into his most iconic role, Capt. James T. Kirk. "

"Since mid-March, the Star Trek actor has been sharing daily Captain’s Log updates — a plot device, usually done for story exposition, on the famed sci-fi TV show and subsequent films — which ran the gamut from his days at home to projects on which he and fellow actors were involved. Shatner has a sizable audience with more than 2.5 million followers on Twitter alone. "

"He began the Kirk entries March 18, posting, “Captain’s Log: Stardate 1 of self imposed isolation. After having arrived at Planet Home, I was warmly greeted by Emissaries Espresso & Macchiato. I look forward to my planned respite from my normal duties. Kirk out.” Espresso and Macchiato are Shatner’s dogs. He is a well-known animal lover."

"And after 100 daily entries, he concluded the series Saturday morning with, “Captain’s Log Stardate 100: I hope you have enjoyed my Captain’s log musings & rantings on the first 100 days of COVID-19 sheltering. It was the least I could do… It was… fun. Oh, my.”

"Fans of the Star Trek franchise instantly recognized the closing remarks as those Capt. Kirk says in 1994’s Star Trek: Generations just before the character dies after helping save the day, once again. "
