Let's talk coffee today. I am not a coffeehead, or someone who seeks out great coffee, and once found, will drink in mass quantity. I know people who are, but me? I reckon on taking everything in moderation. Perhaps because I despise uncalled-for palpitations.
But one thing pleasant about coffee is that it always is associated with friends, relaxation, efficiency, and warmth. It's a kind of thirst quencher that works well on breakfast, brunch, afternoon breaks, or late- night snacks. It's also one of the commodities which has romantic-sounding names: cappuccino, espresso, macchiato, caffe' latte!
I love the way coffee shop people contrive dainty latte art stencils-- those creative patterns made from velvety milk foam that are skilfully poured into a crema- adorned espresso. That said, it also becomes a way of creative expression.
It's funny that we can tell something about ourselves based on the kind of coffee we drink, which I got from an infographic. Not like it's a predetermination of our fate. But which you might want to bookmark in your feel- good reads, tee hee!
Espresso - You're friendly and adaptive. You actually like the taste of coffee, a rare but admirable trait.
Double Espresso - You're practical and hardworking. You like knowing that one shot just doesn't do it for you anymore.
Triple Espresso - You're enthusiastic but obsessive. You've been awake since the late '90s.
Mocha - You're fun- loving and creative. You hate the taste of coffee, but you need the pick- me- up so you improvise.
Latte - You're reflective but often indecisive. In a world of unknowing, you like the safe pick.
Cappuccino - You're warm- hearted but oblivious at times. Your friends have to remind you to wipe the foam off your lip.
Macchiato - You're traditional and reserved. But for the most part, you hate foam mustaches.
Iced Coffee - You're assertive and outspoken. You don't let seasons dictate how you live your life. Also, you like straws.
Americano - You're calm and conscientious. You enjoy the simple things in life, like picnics in the park, birds chirping, and watery coffee.
Frappuccino - You're happy and energetic. You claim to love coffee, but really, you just love ice cream.
Coffee- to-go - You're serious and focused. You believe when the going gets tough, the tough gets cardboard sleeves because the cup's too hot. [LOL]
Expresso - You're clever, annoying, or both. You knowingly or unknowingly mispronounce espresso. Either way, I hate you.
Darthspresso - You drink a lot of coffee in any way, shape, or foam at any time of the day or night.
Decaf - What is wrong with you?
As for me, I'm an amalgamation of mocha, latte, americano, and frappuccino. But I'd love to know, which kind of coffee are you? Drop your answers in the comments section below, and carpe coffee!
