Hello! I’m looking for a new series similar to Jack Reacher. I like the lone wolf, tough guy aspect, as well as the fact that like me, Jack Reacher loves himself a good cup of coffee. I know this is a weird request, but are there any series like Reacher, with a hero/heroine/main character that loves coffee like Reacher does? I also enjoy that Reacher is a drifter, and goes to small towns and solves mysteries, and helps people.
And while I realize that Twin Peaks doesn’t technically qualify, I believe there’s three or more books canonical to the series.
The Expanse comes to mind. Holden (one of the main protagonists) has a series-long trope of being a MASSIVE coffee enthusiast, which is interesting for a series set largely in zero-G
Seriously, I thought this was going to be a joke post about the Expanse!
Holden and Janeway were my first thoughts.
Janeway replicates her coffee.
Holden would never stand for that philistine bullshit.
sometimes it’s made out of whatever Neelix can find though.

What an odd question.
Did you know that you can just add that a fictional character loves coffee to your head cannon, even if coffee is never mentioned once in the text? Nobody can stop you, and no one will know because it’s all fiction in your head.
Maybe they enjoy reading about character enjoying things that they themselves enjoy.
Its not too hard to understand that.
Dirk Pitt Novels by Clive Cussler.
Travis McGee books by John D. MacDonald.
The Deep Blue Goodbye, with an intro by Lee Child.
Trav lives on a houseboat he won in a poker game. He lives a care-free beach bum life in Ft. Lauderdale. Every once in a while, the cash reserves get low and Trav has to go out and find someone who has been robbed but can’t go to the police.
These are such a fun read.

Yes. Came here to say that 😂.
I read some of Jo Nesbo’s thrillers and the protagonist drinks so much coffee that I got squirrelly just from reading it.
Not the coffee thing but John Le Carre has a great series of books that are kind of the spy version of Reacher’s army persona.
This person asked especially for the coffee thing though.
Why do you response with something that has nothing to with the coffee thing?
Read past the title and you’ll see OP listed other qualities they like in Reacher. It’s not hard to imagine that they might appreciate a good suggestion based on those.
I’ve read past the title and coffee was specified 2 more times.
It seems to be a question about some very niche and narrow topic so I would like to know why that is completely ignored.
