How to Make Coffee Reflect Your Lifestyle

The coffee drinking culture is expanding. No longer are our choices coffee or decaf coffee, but we have espresso, lattes, hot chocolate, and other types of drinks invading the local coffee shops. With choices now available, different kinds of people are gravitating toward drinks that match their personality. You can tell a lot about a person by the type of beverage they order at your local coffee shop. Below is how to decipher each drink to match a personality.

Step1

Straight up Coffee: You don't have time for fancy coffee making techniques. Your lifestyle is fast paced, reflected through your need for a caffeinated beverage that is strong and easy in the morning. Steamed milk? Waste of time. Grande Non Fat Hazlenut Latte? Waste of words. Coffee? Perfect. Besides, you never ask a girl out for "A flavored, steam milk, complicatedly named beverage," you ask her out for coffee, because you are a strong, confident man. (Flip man and girl for those of you of the opposite sex, because I care about my female audience.)

Think of a lumberjack. He dons his flannel and large axe, prepared to destroy any tree in his way to provide for his family. He is the epitome of manliness. Can you see him drinking a Venti Carmel Something Or Other? It would be like Chuck Norris exercising along side of Richard Simmons.

Step2

Latte: You like your caffeine, but want it with a side of sophistication and/or metrosexuality. It's not as fattening as cappuccino and provides a sweeter flavor than coffee. A favorite among everyone from the cute girl trying to write her paper in the library to that guy you know in the grocery store who is gay...or straight...or, well, you don't really know, but you know he drinks lattes.

Lattes are also a popular choice for writers, college students, and people in the business world because they scream "I am smart and want to be respected" due to their customizable nature. Where the strong, stubborn lumberjack fails, the lattes picks up the slack in its ability to adapt to any situation. The latte is the "playing hard to get" of coffee shop beverages because its ambiguity keeps you interested.

Step3

Cappuccino: This screams hipster. It's a complicated word for a drink that has fallen out of favor in the past few years. But, just as the hipsters have recently resurrected indie music and bad fashion sense, they've also resurrected cappuccino as their drink of choice. It's a trendy word that not everyone is supposed to understand. Cappuccino hasn't sold out to "The Man," it still has its complicated name and hometown, indie roots.
Order your next one with a side of tight pants and a hat that looks weird, and therefore, makes you trendy.

Step4

Hot Chocolate: You don't need caffeine. You are delicious and you know it. As more of a dessert drink, people wait all day just to finish their day enjoying you. Your coffee drinking friends will be angry at you for ordering hot chocolate at a coffee shop, but secretly, they envy your seductive, chocolaty nature. You don't need caffeine to get you through the day, just the constant reminder that you are awesome. You also may be shallow, boring and have nothing at all to contribute to society, because you only consist of hot water and a packaged mix.

Step5

Tea: You are a soothing, almost spiritual beverage. You come in a wide variety of flavors and colors, changing accordingly for a different season or time of the day. Calm and always understanding, you seem to hover over all of us in a reassuring way, constantly reminding everyone to relax, sit down, and have some tea. However, you are also weak and wouldn't stand a chance in the harsh, abrasive world of coffee drinkers. Your lack of caffeine makes your relaxed spirituality seem more like laziness. Perhaps this is your facade, or maybe you just like a slower paced lifestyle. Either way, you fear coffee and the powers it may bestow upon you.

Step6

Decaf Anything: You're living a lie, pretending to be something you really aren't. "I like the taste of coffee, though!" Lots of people "liked the taste of life" too, but they're dead, just like your lifeless cup of coffee.
