She does complain it’s not the same as the “real stuff”

If your replicated coffee goes cold while you read reports on your PADD, do you have to breakdown and re-replicated the coffee and mug just to get it hot again? (Assuming Kes isn’t nearby to freshen it up for you.)
The Doctor is a projection of the electromagnetic and force fields. Microwaves are projections of electromagnetic fields.
Why couldn’t B’Elanna rig up some projector to localize a microwave beam and follow your coffee cup? You could call it the ECH (Everyday Coffee Heater) since it was based off the Doctor.
I was going to say that this idea doesn’t fit in with the lore at all. But when I think about how a lot of Trek tech has hilariously bad failure modes built in (e.g. transporter malfunctions, rogue holodeck programs, consoles that double as fireworks storage lockers, flame-throwers on the bridge), accidentally cooking crew-members insides for want of perpetually hot coffee is weirdly on brand here.
this sounds like a great way to get stale coffee.
Also wouldn’t it be easier to just get the doctor to stick his finger in it or something?
This is probably his reply… but I’d bet he’d do it if kess asked.
You can always fill the mug with some alpha particle emitter…
Coffee addict, sure, but she never seemed particularly picky about it.
I like her better in prison (orange is the new black)
I wonder if Pike is the type of person to brew coffee using the brewers we have today.
He would keep it classy like that.
I’d imagine he works long hours to improve on a pour over or find the best tool for distributing grounds in a portafilter.
Hey, I occasionally drink speciality instant.
