Coffee. It’s just a drink, right? But let’s be honest, your regular coffee order gives away more than you think. Whether you’re all about strong, simple brews or need something sweet and iced to get going, there’s something in your cup that says a little something about you.
Long black
You’re straight to the point. No fuss, no distractions, just a solid cup of caffeine. You probably get to the airport way too early and read the news with your breakfast. You mean business, even on weekends.
Flat white
You’re steady, reliable and probably the most organised person in your group chat. You know good quality when you see it and prefer things done properly. You’ve also mastered the art of the polite eye roll.
Latte
You like your comfort with a bit of polish. Smooth, familiar, easy to enjoy. You’ve definitely sent someone a link to a linen sale and know exactly how many shots go in your ideal brew. Your brunch game is strong.
Cappuccino
You bring energy into the room. The froth, the chocolate on top, the little bit of flair — you like your coffee to feel like an occasion. You’ve got a favourite café and they probably know your order.
Mocha
You want it all. Coffee and chocolate, warmth and sweetness, the whole experience. You’re generous with your time and probably the first to suggest dessert. People trust you with secrets and snack recommendations.
Iced coffee
You’re not waiting around. Cold brew in July? Absolutely. Your schedule might be full but you know how to multitask, and your go-to coffee needs to keep up. You are chill but productive and always have backup plans.
Espresso
You came here for the caffeine. No extras, no distractions, just a short sharp hit that gets the job done. You probably have opinions on grind size and water temperature, and your kitchen setup is better than most cafés.
Decaf
You don’t need caffeine to keep it together. Whether it’s for health, sleep, or just taste, you’ve figured out what works for you and you’re not fussed about what anyone else thinks. Calm, collected and completely in your lane.
Hot chocolate
You like comfort, not chaos. You want something warm, satisfying and indulgent. You’ve got good taste, and your West Coast Cocoa stash proves it. Whether you’re taking a break from caffeine or just love a slow moment, your mug is always worth sipping.
Final thoughts on coffee orders and personality
