Fans discuss episodes where coffee plays an integral role in the plot, including Kramer's coffee table book, hot coffee lawsuits, cappuccino incidents at movies, and post-event coffee gatherings.
Coffee has played an important part in many episodes.
Obviously Kramer's coffee table book was mentioned it at least three episodes: [Male Unbonding][The Opposite] [The Wizard]
I can think of about a dozen other episodes where "coffee" is an integral part of the show - not just that someone incidentally drinks or orders coffee but it is highlighted.
Can you list any more?
I guess we'd count the K-man's lawsuit over the hot coffee. I know that was referred-to in at least two episodes.
Also, do "Drake's Coffee Cakes" count?

In "The Wizard" Elaine and her boyfriend (Daryl? The one Elaine is confused about what race he is: "Should we even be talking about this?") are in Monk's. I think either he or Elaine orders coffee and the waitress (who is black) asks whether they want it "black." There's some confusion and the waitress responds something like "I'll let you figure it out?"
Probably not what your looking for, but it came to mind since that episode was on recently.
Also, Kramer spotting Joe DiMaggio "dunking" in his coffee. What episode was that from?
The News Guy(Mike) wrote in message ...
It's from "The Note" (3rd Season). Kramer sees Joe DiMaggio in Dinky Dounts.

I'm sending this a second time...I apologize if it is double posted. I seem to be having problems posting somewhere along the line.

Waitress: "You're black, right?" [referring to how he has his coffee]
Boyfriend: "Yeah, I'm black. [pause] Actually, you know what?... I'll take mine with cream."

In "The Library", Lt. Bookman berated Jerry for not keeping freeze-dried coffee in the house for company.
At the end of "The Puffy Shirt", Elaine had to hold George's coffee cup for him because his hands were all bandaged up after the accident with the iron in Jerry's dressing room.
In "The Note", Kramer, and later the whole gang, saw Joe DiMaggio dunk his donut into a cup of coffee.
In "The Doll", Elaine had coffee spilled on her in the subway, but managed to keep it from ruining the autographed poster of "the other guy" that she got for the Maestro.
In "The Andrea Doria", Elaine's "bad breaker upper" boyfriend got coffee thrown in his face by his previous girlfriend.
In "The Money" when Elaine payed for George's Arabian Mocha Java, he thought she was "sticking it to him" because she made more money than he did.
In "The Merv Griffin Show", a co-worker spilled coffee on Elaine, creating a stain that looked like Fidel castro.
In "The Bubble Boy", Jerry ordered Elaine a whole roasted chicken and a cup of coffee at the diner near the Bubble Boy's house.
In "The Cadillac", Helen offered Mrs. Choate coffee or tea, but she preferred hot water with lemon.
In "The Soup"(?), when the gang eats at Reggie's, Elaine wants a decaf, but they only have Sanka.
(BTW, Mike? The year is 43, but I can't get the date. 2 questions:
What other movie were the Cowboys in, and did the Pelleur reference
infer his jersey number?)

Wow!!... How about these, too:
"The Beard": Kramer drops a coin in the cup of a homeless man, "Hey, that's my coffee!!"
"The Gymnast"(?): George buys a bad-tasting cup of coffee and dumps it on a car windshield... and loses face when seen by his girlfriend's mother as he is cleaning it off.
"The Foundation": George vengefully squirts and stirs mustard in Jerry's coffee as he laments, "that's the line that ruined my life" (referring to Jerry's 'Spock' quote).

Also, in Cigar Store Indian, Jerry puts a cup (of coffee???) on the Costanza's table, which marks it.
And how can we forget the episode in which this guy runs the Marathon and takes Kramer's cup of coffee for a glass of water and pours it on his head...what's the name of the runner...Antoine, Philippe...Marcel?

If I recall correctly, that was tea.

Does he bring it up in an earlier episode, then mention it to Mr. Lippman in "The Cigar Store Indian", or did he first think of it in that same episode?
Nah, it was something cold. The condendation caused the mark on the table.

Right it was not coffee. But it was a COFFEE table so that counts. (I made up the rules.) :-)
In "The Contest " Jerry angrily tells George he gets his coffee on the outside.
In "The Phone Message" George passes up on a upstair invite because he didn't realize sooner that coffee meant sex.

George on caffeine in the pilot episode leaps to mind. (George wants decaf coffee, and there's a discussion with the waitress about how she knows which coffee jug is caffeinated, and which is decaf. She assures him she knows which is which, but later reveals that she deliberately gave him caffeinated.)

I'm only two-thirds thru reading this thread so far, but so far no one has mentioned this: I can't remember the exact line, but in the episode where Elaine is convinced that a diner owner is hiring waitresses based on their breast sizes, George says something about going to a coffee shop, I don't remember if he was talking about the same one or something in his past, that was also staffed with big- busted women and that "I never drank so much coffee in my life."

i haven't been reading this thread so someone may have said this already what about when jean paul drank kramer's drink in the marathon was that cofee or tea?
the thing kramer drank was tea & not coffee.
Oliver Broadway wrote:
Yes I think you are right. I will check Male Unbonding again.
Right; that is noteworthy since it is the first.
So if it Caffeine we are after too, didn't Elaine confess to George that she served Jerry caffeine laden Morning Thunder tea when he thought it was caffeine free in The Dog?
Oliver Broadway wrote in message news:[email]...
In "The Dog" Elaine used to serve Moning Thunder to Jerry and that had caffeine in it (unbeknownts (sp?) to him ) .
What is that? coffee? or something else.

*NOTE* I am not responsible for equipment damage due to reeeealy
dumb children with no parental supervision, and access to a hammer.When defending himself to Elaine, doesn't George justify his want / need to see Marisa Tomei, even though he's engaged, that it's just over a cup of coffee? Where do he and Marisa first meet? In Monk's over coffee or in the park where she belts him? Is coffee even in the picture in this episode? Which episode is this? I can't get the image of George making out with the couch cushion out of my mind.

The Non-Fat Yoghurt: Elaine has coffee yoghurt
Robert Faulkner wrote:
I will add that one.
Here's some more!!!
The Finale: The NBC people call 'Jerry' a water-cooler show, George states that it should be a coffee machine show. ("People don't use water coolers any more, they have bottles")
The Soup Nazi: Jerry says: "What about that Bavarian cream pie joke I told you? There's no truth to that. Nobody with a terminal illness goes from the United States to Europe for a piece of Bavarian cream pie and then when they get there and they don't have it he says " Aw, I'll just have some coffee." There's no truth to that." to Sheila
The Phone Message: Carol asks George if he wants to come up for coffee, but he says he can't because it keeps him awake at night. Later Jerry & George talk about it:
J: She thinks you're a guy that doesn't like coffee.
G: She invited me up. Coffee's not coffee, coffee is sex.
E: Maybe coffee was coffee.
G: Coffee's coffee in the morning, it's not coffee at twelve o clock at night.
E: Well some people drink coffee that late.
G: Yeah, people who work at NORAD, who're on twenty-four hour missile watch.
Then the message about coffee etc.
[If i'm repeating any, then please forgive me]
At the end of the episode where Susan dies, as the gang is walking out, one of them mentions, "Wanna get some coffee?"
The same thing happens at the end of Summer of George.
In The Wife, K-man comes into Jerry's apartment and says "got any coffee???". He can't sleep without his duvet which is at the cleaners. Although coffee wouldn't really help now would it!
Plus:
The Postponement: Kramer and the gourmet coffee in the cinema The Maestro: Kramer's out-of-court settlement with the coffee house & free coffee. The Andrea Doria: Elaine's date gets coffee thrown in his face by his ex-girlfriend. The Merv Griffin Show: Elaine's colleague causes her to spill coffee with a stain "that looks like Fidel Castro"
i don"t know if this was mentioned...how bout when george was taking the i.q. test and he told his girlfriend he went out the window for coffee
now that i"m thinking about it..he spilled the coffee on the test

Actually I think it was Elaine that spilled the coffee on the IQ test when she was bugged by Kramer at the caf�.
But you are right - that event should be added to the list.
As should the incident in "The Checks" when Jerry spilled coffee in the office at NBC (Nokahama Broadcasting Company) because his hand was gnarled from signing the royalty checks.
