The type of coffee you drink probably says a lot about your personality. It might not offer a definitive case study, but surely there must be something in how one person loves a black coffee and won’t drink anything else to those rogue coffee drinkers who go through the rota and sample every type of drink going on the ever-extensive coffee menus in their favourite local coffee shop.
Different types of coffee drinkers
If you have a bean-to-cup commercial coffee machine in your office, this can make this study even better, giving you the chance to see what your colleagues choose to drink every single day, from the Americano guy to the Iced Latte-intern and the boring tea drinkers…
Let’s take a look at a few of the different coffee drinker characteristics.
Iced coffee all year-round
An Iced coffee (or iced version of any hot drink – we’re partial to a cold chocolate at times) is very much appreciated in the depth of the hot summer month(s), but for some people an iced coffee is a beverage for all-year round, even when there is snow on the ground and hail in the skies. An iced coffee is for those who are brave and imaginative, don’t want to follow the herd and are youthful in how they act, even when they are a bit older now and maybe not out on the town every weekend.
Instant coffee
Coffee snobs might look down on instant coffee, but it definitely serves a purpose, and before we all got fancy with the types of coffee we drink, instant coffee was the go-to caffeine fix for so many! Instant coffee drinkers are laid back, they take on complicated challenges with ease, are low-maintenance to friends and partners, and generally go with the flow.
Always black
Purists who like to keep life as simple as possible, why does the person in front need to order a mocha or even a latte? You are strong, bold, confident in your approach to life, and you don’t need all the frills and the bells and whistles that come with some coffee drinks. Some people might find you a little bit stubborn and difficult, but you’ll be just fine with your black coffee – simple and effective.
Latte drinkers
Latte drinkers are people pleasers, middle of the road coffee drinkers that want to feel like they’re having a proper cup of coffee but don’t really want the complication of a ‘fancier’ coffee. Instead, they’ve found their favourite beverage and they’re sticking with it. You’re a warm, creative, and polite person as a latte drinker, and there is nothing wrong with that.
No-nonsense espresso
Do you want that hit of caffeine immediately? If you could, you’d hook that caffeine right into your veins, but no one wants to see that in a coffee shop or at the coffee station in your office! You are adventurous, strong in your character, and the type of person who is seen as straight-talking and takes no talkback in any situation.
Mocha
A cute coffee drink, a visual treat, and Instagram-friendly. If you order a mocha regularly, you’ll likely be the heart of every party and gathering, you stand out from the crowd, much like your chosen hot beverage.
Tea and other non-coffee drinks
There are many different flavours of tea to choose from, whilst hot chocolate is the most indulgent of all the drinks. Both favour people who want to relax and treat themselves to a fulfilling and invigorating drink, rather than the excesses of the caffeine hit.
Commercial coffee machines for your business

You could soon be working out the characters in your office just by what they choose to drink from the wide-ranging coffee machine options in the workplace. Does a latte drinker indicate that person is warm, open, and friendly? Does an iced coffee indicate an impulsive person? Can you link different star signs to types of coffee?
