Which Kind of Coffee Drinker are you?

Which Coffee Drinker Are You?

Every coffee drinker believes their taste is unique. But after years of selling coffee, we’ve discovered a simple truth: most people fit into one of five distinct coffee personalities. And once you know yours, finding coffee you love becomes effortless.

So—are you an Old-School Purist, a Familiar Favorite, a Curious Explorer, a Modern Maverick, or a Radical Adventurer?

Read on. Find yourself. And never drink a disappointing cup again.

The Old-School Purist – “Give me coffee that tastes like coffee.”

You know exactly what you want: a rich, roasty, chocolatey cup with no surprises. A coffee that stands tall on its own and even better with a splash of cream. You don’t have time for weak, sour, or floral nonsense—you want depth, body, and a taste that lingers. You’re drawn to bold, classic flavors—nutty, smoky-sweet, and deeply satisfying.

The Familiar Favorite – “I like what I like, but I’m open to more.”

You appreciate tradition, but you know coffee is more than just dark and strong. You enjoy balanced, approachable flavors with a little intrigue—like a chocolate bar with a pinch of sea salt or a toasted marshmallow with a golden crust. You’re comfortable in the familiar, but if the right coffee comes along with a subtle fruit note or hint of spice, you’re willing to give it a shot.

The Curious Explorer – “I like my coffee to surprise me.”

Coffee is an experience, and you want to taste the full spectrum of what it can be. You’re just as happy with a comforting, nutty blend as you are with something a little brighter, a little more playful. You embrace the unexpected—a splash of citrus, a twist of honey sweetness—but always in balance. Coffee should keep you guessing, but never leave you confused.

The Modern Maverick – “I want coffee that makes me think.”

You’ve left the old school behind. You gravitate toward coffees that push boundaries—juicy fruit flavors, floral aromatics, unexpected acidity. You know coffee can taste like peaches, like tropical fruit, like black tea. You seek complexity and clarity, where every sip is layered and evolving. You’ve long since abandoned cream and sugar—your coffee stands on its own.

The Radical Adventurer – “Give me the weird stuff.”

You want the wildest, most vibrant, most fermented-funk, fruit-bomb, floral-explosion coffee available. The brighter, livelier, juicier, the better. You chase after naturals, anaerobics, and experimental processing. Your perfect cup doesn’t just wake you up—it shocks your senses and leaves an impression that lasts all day.
