Your Coffee Date, Decoded
Want to grab a cup of coffee? It’s probably the most popular pickup line of all time. And now, thanks to one study, that first coffeehouse meeting can also act as a tea-leaf reading into your future together. “Today the type of coffee someone prefers really makes a social statement,” says Alan Hirsch, MD, Director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation and author of What’s Your Food Sign? “With so many choices, it’s like we now have a coffee Rorschach test to gain insight into an individual’s personality.” To prove his theory, Hirsch surveyed 18,631 men and women about their drink preferences and their personalities—and found there’s a strong correlation between the two. So the next time you’re wondering if someone you like has long-term potential for you, check out our Coffee Decoder below for the scoop.
