Real Men Take It Black | comment |
Coffee, perhaps with the descriptor of "black as night" or "black as a witch's heart", is a very bitter drink on its own. Having a character drink it undiluted shows that they are "tough" enough to enjoy it. Milk and sugar weaken the pure coffee flavor too much for this character, and thus the trope only gets downplayed when a character does exactly that. With coffee culture changing so frequently around the world, this trope can evolve significantly depending on the setting. For an office environment, the easy availability of coffee makes only the blackest of black truly distinguish a character as a leader figure or go-getter. It's also common in any Cop Show, Detective Fiction or Film Noir, where the Hardboiled Detective that isn't knocking back heavy scotch, or munching on donuts, will most assuredly take their coffee black to keep themselves alert. With the Japanese usually preferring tea, coffee consumption in general (no matter the strength) becomes a quick signal of confidence or hyper-masculinity in Japanese media. This is a Sub-Trope of Drink-Based Characterization with an extra shot of manliness. Also see Klatchian Coffee, which explores the extremity of the coffee itself and its uses (e.g. a G-rated Mushroom Samba or a hangover cure). Compare Real Men Hate Sugar, the direct alternative to this. See also Real Men Eat Meat, its culinary cousin, and Age-Stereotypical Food. The idea that milk isn't manly is invoked in the Lactose over Liquor trope (bystander surprise when a "macho" character orders milk). Nothing to do with Black Coffee. Note: Not a sexual innuendo, or referencing the joke made by the Deadpan Snarker when this is said, so stop giggling. |

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 : Ken Amada says even he drinks coffee black in a random optional conversation you can have with him (which you can even joke you like it with hot sauce). Ken is also 10 years old. Persona 3 Reload, a full remake, includes events where the player can make meals with various party members, in this case making coffee with Ken. The kid visibly and audibly finds it bitter, before trying to claim he likes it. Persona 4: There is a scene where Ryotaro Dojima asks the player how he wants his coffee: Persona 5: Subverted. Ryuji, the most overtly masculine of the protagonists, recoils when he gets a sip of Sojiro's black coffee, which the flamboyant Yusuke and supermodel Ann enjoy. He has to wash the taste out of his mouth with iced cola. Morgana chastises him for having a child's tongue. |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations: Mixed in with Must Have Caffeine, Godot always drinks his coffee pure black, which even provides one of many of his famous quotes "Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than Hell itself... that is coffee." Later in the game, you learn that someone had once slipped poison into his coffee and put him in a coma for 5 years. It's understandable that he'd be wary of putting anything in his coffee after that, especially if the poison was disguised as cream or sugar. | |

Arthur: Surprisingly, played straight in the episode “Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone�, despite shown to have a major sweet tooth even to the point of marrying a male chocolatier named Patrick. However, it might be a Subverted Trope in the fact that the woman, who is his sister, gave a very specific instructions on her green tea as well as asked the server to bring some clean silverware, so he might have just ordered a regular coffee over embarrassment of her overly long and specific order. | |

Female example: in the first chapter of New Game!, when Rin asks Aoba if she wants anything to drink, Aoba asks for an orange juice at first, but quickly changes her mind and asks for black coffee because she thinks it's what she's supposed to drink as a "responsible adult". Kou takes Aoba's coffee by accident and spits it back out, preferring her cups with lots of sugar. When Aoba tries it, it turns out that she can't handle it black after all. | |

Captain Janeway's preferred drink on Star Trek: Voyager: "Coffee. Black." It's good stuff. She beat the Borg with it. | |

Played with on Frasier. Martin, a retired cop, usually takes his coffee this way in contrast to his sons' more elaborate orders. Niles in particular makes very specific requests such as specifying how thick he wants the foam to be. Frasier himself tends to switch between the two extremes and on at least one occasion specifically ordered his coffee plain and black after getting annoyed with how long Niles was taking to order his drink. | |

In Non Non Biyori, Komari has something of a complex over her childish appearance. She is very upset to learn in one chapter that Hotaru takes her coffee black, yet another sign that the younger girl acts more mature than her. | |

In Guards! Guards!, Vimes takes his coffee black. He tries to order it "black as a moonless night", but the owner picks apart the metaphor until Vimes finally settles for "a moonless night as black as that coffee." | |
