Forget astrology and star signs. Your favorite coffee reveals unspoken things about your personality. According to a new book, The You Code, a cup of coffee not only has froth and sugar at its bottom but personality traits as well. Body language experts Judi James and James Moore decipher what caffeine preferences can reveal about a person’s self esteem, stress levels and even sex life in the book. Now, take a look for yourself -
Espresso: James and Moore describe the espresso as “the unfiltered cigarette of the coffee drinking world”. Espresso-drinkers tend to be moody, hard-bitten and hard-working. They are also into leadership and fast goals. The espresso drinker can be an experienced, exciting and consummate lover, but is not known for reliability or unswerving loyalty.
Black Coffee: This type is about minimalism and takes no-frills, direct approach to life. The black coffee drinker can be quiet and moody but prone to brief bursts of extroversion. A difficult, but potentially rewarding friend, colleague or partner.
Latte: Typically metrosexuals or cuddly-toy collectors, latte drinkers are pleasers with an overwhelming compulsion to be liked. Latte drinkers reveal that while they may want to come across as hot shot contenders, they have an immature side.
Cappuccino: Like their drink, cappuccino drinkers are all froth and bubble, bored by detail and liking, but not obsessed with material objects. She/He enjoys sex, but is easily bored by an unimaginative partner.
Instant Coffee: These are cheerful, straight-forward types, who like a laugh and live by the maxim “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But instant coffee drinkers can be unadventurous in their careers and need to let others see the hidden depths in their personality. The no-nonsense instant coffee drinker is allergic to pretentious behavior and are likely to keep their socks on during sex.
Decay soy milk: A self-righteous eco-worrier and attention seeker with a tendency to be picky, fussy and squeamish in the bedroom. What’s more, this faux choice implies a pretentious, high-maintenance type who wants what they can’t have and is disguising their true personality.
Frappucino: Flightly and shallow, the frappucino drinker will try anything once – especially if a celebrity has done it first. They fancy themselves as trendsetters. The frappucino drinker’s relationships often last as long as their drink choice.
Non-coffee drinker: Frightened of coffee equals frightened of life. If the taste of coffee puts you off, you really are a child, they say.
