Summary:  "I have measured out my life with coffee spoons."  ~T.S. Eliot
Author's Note: Written for the "Future" challenge at tw100

Java.  Cup of Joe.  Insomnia in a cup.  Lifeblood.  Black Gold.  Go juice.  Nectar of Life.   Mud.  Elixir of life.  Jet fuel.  Liquid life.  Liquid death.  Coffee.

Jack knew there would be a time, in the far off distant future, when the drink would be so rare it was damned near impossible to get, no matter how willing you might be to sell you soul for one more sip.  And he knew he’d have to suffer through that time, again.  But until then...

“Another cup, Sir?  What is this, your seventh?”

“Thanks, Ianto.  Actually it’s my ninth, but who's counting?”

I'm sure there will be caffeinated beverages just not coffee.

Speaking as a barista, it looks like a bleak future for mankind.

and speaking as a coffeaholic I agree wholeheartedly

hey there's still gonna be booze and juice so things aren't so bad. I can take this calmly because I don't drink coffee. I'm not allowed caffeine anyway.

In the 18th century people would go to chocolate houses, so no worries about no coffee.
