He means nobody non-automated has been posting.

But ra'taj is coffee that has had some kind of alcohol added to it, 
while raktajino is "raktaj" (ra'taj without alcohol) with cream added. 
It doesn't get a Klingon word because it's not a Klingon food: raktaj 
and raktajino are borrowed from Klingon culture.

And all this is after the fact that ra'taj itself is made from a 
Klingon-style preparation of coffee, which itself comes from Earth.

So the progress of this is:

coffee (Earth) --> qa'vIn (Klingon) --> ra'taj (Klingon) --> raktaj 
(galaxy) --> raktajino (galaxy)

If "Trials and Tribble-ations" is to be believed, this complete line of 
borrowing happened only as late as the 23rd century, some time before 
the events of "The Trouble with Tribbles."
