Are you a coffee connoisseur?

In today’s world, coffee has become a go-to-drink for many people.

If you’re one of those people, then you will know the different types of coffee and are known as a coffee connoisseur.

For true coffee connoisseurs it is about the flavour and aroma and what is involved in the quality of a perfect cup.

5 signs of a true coffee connoisseur  

1. You know the best cuppa joe in town

A true coffee connoisseur is more like a coffee elitist.

You know the ins and outs of every cafe in town and people actually seek your recommendation when it comes to finding the best brew.

450 milligrams; 204º Fahrenheit; beans from Kenya; medium to medium-dark all this makes sense to you as you know everything about a good cuppa coffee.

You prize coffee and love to explore the different brew recipes.

Coffee connoisseurs are very opinionated when it comes to coffee, almost to the point of stubbornness.

2. Rise and Shine only After a Cup of coffee?

They say that your one true love is the first person you think about when you wake up and the last person you think of at night.

For coffee connoisseurs it’s not a person but a finely brewed cup of coffee.

An exotic aroma wafts through your rooms as you start every morning with a nice cuppa coffee.

Morning caffeine acts as a mild stimulant that helps you get through the day.

Talk about the 3 pm slump! Getting past the day after lunch without coffee, whether is latte, espresso or just good old filter; seems impossible.

3. You love everything that tastes and smells of coffee

For coffee connoisseurs, it is and always will be about a fine brew.

You appreciate the exquisite flavours and rich aroma that exudes from a flavourful cup of coffee.

Whether it is iced, latte, gourmet, French pressed, pour-over, percolated or simply a black coffee, you love it just as it is.

Family and friends will find you nodding at everything that tastes and smells of coffee; coffee ice cream, cake or cookie you are just hooked.

4. Everything from seasons to stress is an excuse for coffee

Where summers are a time to break out the iced lattes, winters become an excuse for an extra cup of cappuccino.

Everything from a stressful day at work to a lazy Sunday afternoon is an excuse for having coffee.

It is the magical potion, which cheers you up on a bad day and fuels you through a busy day.

Plus, you know coffee improves your focus; relieves a headache; is a source of antioxidants etc. etc. Even the little-known health benefits of coffee become an excuse for drinking coffee.

5. Drinking Coffee is an experience

Coffee connoisseurs are always looking for experiences with their coffee.

Every rich, flavourful and rare cup of Joe induces creativity and spurs your imagination.

It makes you a better human by cultivating a positive feeling, which encourages you to conquer the moment.

Coffee fills you with energy with every sip of the brew.

Coffee connoisseurs put rich flavour and quality over quantity.

Coffee connoisseur or coffee addict?

Worried you’re becoming addicted? A coffee connoisseur and a coffee addict want foundationally different things.

A coffee addict:

  • is super grumpy before the first dose every morning and has a pounding headache on skipping one routine cup of coffee.
  • needs caffeine to concentrate and stay alert every single day and trying to cut back on coffee is next to impossible.
  • the convenience and consistency always comes first.

For a coffee connoisseur, it’s all about the experience.

Coffee connoisseurs are concerned with what constitutes the brew and recognises the complex flavours that make it a splendid experience.
