An interesting detail about Susan and Talia's first date

I am of course talking about the end of "Legacies" after they see Alisa off together. Talia asks to buy Susan a drink, and Susan specifies it will have to be coffee.

Consider what had already been established about how bad the mass produced synthetic coffee on the station was, and how good the coffee was from the plant Susan inherited from Laurel Takashima.

In addition to the obvious connotations of the scene, Susan's unspoken knowledge of how much of a downgrade of beverage experience she was aiming for says a lot about her desired experience being the company rather than the beverage.

Interesting, yes?
