Coffee Personifications
1 August 2008 in Coffee, General
Last week, i was asked by my good friends Frank and Di on the afternoon show on Life fm if i had any coffee personifications or stereotypes for types of people that get certain types of coffees.
The List i came up with is as follows, and i thought i might share it with you to have a giggle and agree or even say no i go against coffeeman’s grain! 
Latte – ladies in later 20s -30s
flavoured/sweetened lattes – Ladies late teens early 20’s
Moccas – Polynesians and young guys
Long Blacks – Older guys 50ish
Hot Chocolates – kids? 
and coffee dislikers…
Decaf – Skip Parker…. (long story)
Espresso/Short Black – males 20-30’s
Cappucinos – Older folk – part of the 80’s revolution to coffee and dont like change from then, they like cappucinos with chocolate, and probably a wee bot of sugar…
Flat whites – Any exception to the above.. -at times the most popular drink for anyone above 25+
Soy milk – Those allergic to dairy – and the rest are hippies
I’d be interested to know your thoughts, and if things differ from your neck of the woods, as this is what i find here in the mighty manawatu!

P.S disclaimer (gotta have a disclaimer) – i dont mean to discriminate or offend anyone by my stereotypes, as there are always exceptions, and those that like to change depending on thier mood, but then most people stick with one.

sigh.. coffee… i knew thee well… all too well according to the doctor…
the people in my neck of the woods (Dun’s)are all into the organic coffee but to tell the truth i can’t tell the difference,as long as it’s strong with a little sugar and a drop of milk it’s all good coffee to me and im always willing to try new coffee
