What Your Coffee Drink Says About You
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
Like it or not, our superficial society judges people by the cars they drive, the shoes they wear, the music they prefer. Even your coffee drink of choice says something about you, according to Match.com:
Black coffee: These basic cup o’ joe types tend to be responsible, ambitious, and aggressive. Fiercely independent, these individuals require you to work at coaxing out their romantic side in a relationship.
- Most compatible with: Chai tea latte drinkers.
Cafe au lait: Cafe au lait drinkers are veeery laid back. These tradition-seekers also find comfort in typical male/female dating roles (i.e., the man gets the check and opens the door).
- Most compatible with: Mocha-flavored coffee drinkers.
Mocha-flavored coffee: Mocha-flavored coffee drinkers are universal romantics who love to be in love. Keep in mind, though, that they can be moody and aren’t the most reliable bunch. Still, they can more than make up for it with their wonderful lovey-dovey gestures.
- Most compatible with: Everyone!
Iced mocha: These spontaneous, seductive flirts make very captivating dates. But if a long-term relationship is what you seek, keep in mind that their idea of “future” is probably five minutes from now.
- Most compatible with: Other iced mocha drinkers.
Chai tea latte: Often stressed and anxious, chai tea latte drinkers tend to be shy in relationships. So know that the first move might have to be yours for the making.
- Most compatible with: Black coffee drinkers.
Coffee-based Frappuccino: Loaded with ambition, these energetic optimists give their all to everything – including dating. The only downside: They’re often guilty of over-committing themselves, and appreciate a level-headed partner who’ll remind them when to put on the brakes.
- Most compatible with: Cafe au lait drinkers.
Tea/fruit-based Frappuccino: These non-coffee Frappuccino drinkers are more often followers than leaders. Relationship-wise, this translates to an incredibly supportive partner who approaches life, love and work in a serious and thoughtful way.
- Most compatible with: Iced mocha drinkers.
Do you find this list to be accurate? Is it even possible to judge someone by the kind of coffee they drink? Do you have a “guilty pleasure” when you go to an upscale coffee shop, i.e. a fancy drink you’re embarrassed to admit you enjoy and know how to order properly? Mine is an iced grande unsweetened green tea lemonade - but only when it’s hot outside. That’s my excuse, I mean reason, and I’m sticking to it!
