Black Coffee

Black coffee is a consumable item added to the game in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Characteristics
Boiled from roasted coyote tobacco chew and honey mesquite pods, black coffee is a good way to stay awake in the middle of the night as well as improving alertness, which makes repairing things, medical treatment and solving theoretical/practical problems easier. However, it comes with the negative drawback of making it harder to maintain focus in pitched combat. Although black coffee contains addictive coyote tobacco chew, the drink itself gives a different addiction effect of -1 Strength, -1 Charisma, and -1 Agility. There are reported instances of the Withdrawal symptoms lingering indefinitely despite doctor or autodoc addiction removal, similar to the bug with Ant nectar (Fallout: New Vegas) before corrected through patching.

When drinking the coffee, a coffee mug may be added to the player's inventory, although there is a chance that it may break.

The effects of the item to INT/AGL respectively depend on the level of the Survival skill.

Crafting
This item can be crafted by the player.
