Connect the descriptions to the adjectives a-g and check your guesses:

A. In today’s world, it’s hard to find a person who doesn’t make instant coffee for themselves.
There’s always a rush to be on time and to optimize the way you spend your time. But if you’re
the kind of person that will make yourself a cup of instant coffee even when you’re relaxed and
you’ve got extra time on your hands, then it might just mean you’re lazy. … The bottom line is
you don’t want to put too much thought or effort in and don’t mind doing things (like making
coffee) last minute.

B. Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham and Women’s Hospital
analyzed genomes from over 100,000 people …[and]… found was that people who make
multiple coffee orders (four or more cups per day) possess certain genomes that are associated
with a greater risk of addiction. They are also genetically predisposed to digest faster, which
explains why they’d need so many cups per day to keep themselves going.

C. ...a lot of people who can only drink their coffee this way, and it’s been reported that those
people tend to be … narcissistic, and, occasionally, even psychopathic. A 2015 study suggested
that people who prefer bitter tastes “are associated with traits related to the darker side of
 personality.” You might not be a knife-wielding psycho if you like your coffee black, but you may
not be the most cheerful, gregarious person either.

D. If your coffee order is decaf, you’re thinking about how you want to avoid being wired all night
long or getting those unsettling jitters. Ordering decaf is like taking a preventative measure. You
want the taste, but you don’t want the effects. Basically, you are the type of person who likes to
be in control. You’ll have coffee, but you don’t want it to get the best of you or affect your
behavior.

E. Bitter tastes are associated with antisocial personalities, so … ordering an extra sweet coffee
means just the opposite. If you like lots of milk, cream and/or sugar in your coffee (and even
whipped cream on top), then research suggests you are a more social kind of person. It also
means that you’re more in need of comfort than a black coffee drinker is. Statistically, people
tend to eat and drink sweeter substances when they’re stressed. If you’re ordering an extra
sweet coffee, you’re looking for a treat. Either it’s because you’re stressed and looking for a
reward, or maybe because it keeps the stress at bay.

F. If you don’t lean significantly to one side of the coffee spectrum or the other, then your tastes
are as moderate as your personality. You enjoy the sweet side of life and the bitter side equally
mixed together. You’re likely a … person who falls in the category of average.

G. If you tend to go for coffee combined with various flavors, like caramel, mocha, or raspberry,
then you …[must]… like to try new things and enjoy adventure. Flavored and blended coffees
are the most creative of the coffee world, so it follows that those who drink them are creative
and imaginative as well.

H. …espresso hugely multiplies … taste. Just one little shot of espresso can be very bitter and very
intense. Likewise, the person who drinks it can also have a rather intense or bold personality. …
it can mean that you want to associate yourself with a particular social class or even that you’re
pretentious. People often link espresso with … having a more refined palate.

Everyone’s coffee order is different. One way is to just take it black. For many people, this isn’t an
appealing option because it offers too bitter a taste. But there are also a lot of people who can only
drink their coffee this way, and it’s been reported that those people tend to be more antisocial,
narcissistic, and, occasionally, even psychopathic. A 2015 study (“Individual differences in bitter taste
preferences are associated with antisocial personality traits” by Sagioglou C. & Greitemeyer T.)
suggested that people who prefer bitter tastes “are associated with traits related to the darker side of
personality.” You might not be a knife-wielding psycho if you like your coffee black, but you may not be
the most cheerful, gregarious person either. Find out more about the connection between black coffee

personality. If your coffee order is espresso, it can mean that you want to associate yourself with a
particular social class or even that you’re pretentious. There are a myriad of articles that discuss the
attractiveness and the sophistication of espresso and even offer a guide on how to drink it the proper
way. People often link espresso with being well-traveled or having a more refined palate. Test your
coffee expertise with these trivia questions only coffee lovers will get right.
