Sulu nods, but he suspects there's more going on than just that Lieutenant Rand not wanting to tell Kirk about the coffee beans, but he doesn't press the issue. Kirk is well known for his flirtations, and the lieutenant is very pretty, so he couldn't blame Kirk if there was a level of interest there, even just for something fun and frivolous.
So there's a fond smile on Sulu's face even before he lifts his cup in a return toast, and when he takes a sip of the coffee it's as smooth and bitter and perfect as he remembered coffee could be, back on Earth. He can't help the soft moan that comes when he swallows, and he shakes his head softly at Kirk, still smiling softly.
"Your bad decisions at least seem to have better outcomes than mine," he says with a rueful laugh as he sets his cup back down on the table between them.
