Why is raktajino so awesome?

Frankly, what's always confused me is we've almost never seen Klingons drink raktajino. They always go for bloodwine, or, in the case of Worf, prune juice. Yet many of DS9's non-Klingon residents just love raktajino.
I can only think of one case where Klingons are mentioned to be drinking it, in 'Trials and Tribble-ations', which is inferred by a remark the waitress makes when the undercover Niners ask for the drink. And the one time it's mentioned is when it's a vital point to setting up a joke.
So what gives?

I think the heroes were simply so traumatized by the coffee that the Cardassian replicators originally pumped out that they all went looking for a replacement, any replacement. And even though O'Brien got the things working right after "Babel", the heroes never trusted standard coffee again.
Except, of course, O'Brien himself.
And raktajino is what Klingon infants drink. Adult warriors only use it for giving bloodwine that appetizing brown hue.

It's definately the Star Trek Starbucks. Everbody drinks it and it's got a foreign sounding name.
A Star Trek Starbucks?
Would they serve Cardassian Fish Juice?
I guess it's the 24th century version of Dunkin Donuts coffee...accept no substitutes.
It had 5 times the caffeine of Earth coffee?
She didn't like the taste?
Yet more proof that Janeway is completely insane!
Because it's got no ooomph to the name like Blood Wine (wouldn't put it past Klingons to mix real blood - maybe of those they killed - with Wine to get that drink).
Coffee is for relaxing times or when you are in the office.. when have you seen a relaxed Klingon on leisure time picking up a good book and a hot cup of coffee besides him?
Because drinking it is like having a party in your mouth while having a warp core breach in your nervous system.
Because it passes through the guts of t'Q'ut'laht cats before it is brewed.
Who's this Janeway?
