Reading fiction, I have often seen that authors like to have leading characters drink black coffee. We are to think of these figures as realistic, pure, and honest. Their companion takes milk plus, usually, three spoons of sugar. Sometimes that person says, "My life is devoid of sweetness," or similar.
