Here Are The Various Kinds Of Coffee And How They May Be Linked To Your Personality As Told By Darren Stanton:
1. Black Coffee
Black coffee drinkers are single-minded and fitness-oriented. They are very calorie-conscious and hence order this low-calorie brew. "This can mean that this person is a determined, focused and driven individual that looks after themselves," said Stanton.

Do you like your coffee with plenty of milk? Darren says that means you don't like to take too many risks. "Latte drinkers tend to be mild-mannered, agreeable, happy to go with the flow," he said.
3. Iced Coffee
Who doesn't love a tall glass of chilled coffee? According to the expert, this may mean you tend to go 'against the grain' and play by your own rules. He revealed, "They want things done their way and could potentially be quite stubborn in certain areas of their lives."

5. Cappuccino
If you can't resist a hot cup of Cappucino, Darren says that you may be prepared to push yourself into unknown territory.

8. Coffee With Flavoured Syrups
Do you enjoy a bit of extra flavour in your favourite Cuppa? Stanton says this may mean you are creative and experimental. "People who order these drinks could be quite creative though as they don't know how things will turn out with a drink like this, but they're happy to experiment and run with the idea," he said.
