In Media
Coffee culture frequently shows up in comics, television, and movies in a variety of ways. TV shows such as NCIS show characters constantly with espresso in hand or people distributing take-out cups to other characters. The comic strips Adam and Pearls Before Swine frequently center the strip around visiting or working at coffee shops.
Daily Mail writer Philip Nolan stated that the spread of the coffee culture in Ireland is largely accredited to American television shows Friends and Frasier, saying, “We saw it reflected in the lifestyles of our TV favorites the Friends gang in Central Park (sic) drinking coffee instead of alcohol; Frasier and Niles having latte and biscotti in the Nervosa; every cop on TV being called out on a 911 just as he ambled back to his car with Dunkin’ Donuts and a cup of strong, black coffee."

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
