10 Habits of a Coffee Lover

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at VCU chapter.

If you get a headache and have the urge to drink coffee as soon as you wake up, chances are you’re a coffee lover. You live for coffee of any form whether it be straight drip, latte or espresso. With the special place coffee holds in your heart, comes with specific habits. Here are 10 habits of being a coffee lover:

1. Grabbing your morning coffee ASAP

Nobody should dare try to talk to you before you’ve had your morning coffee. Your first cup gets your day started the proper way.

 

2. Needing at least two cups a day

One cup doesn’t cut it for you anymore. You need at least two cups of coffee or more to make it through your busy day. Chances are your love of coffee has developed from chugging coffee to stay productive with your hectic schedule.

 

3. Immediately feeling relaxed when you smell coffee

The smell of freshly brewed coffee instantly gives you a warm feeling inside. Even if you’ve already have enough coffee that day, just smelling someone else’s cup makes you feel instantly relaxed and inspired.

 

4. You feel sad when you finish a cup

You feel completely satisfied while sipping on a cup o’ joe and getting things done. Before you know it, you finish your cup and you’re wishing it was full again.

 

5. You make coffee a priority

You take time out of your day to enjoy and grab a cup of coffee. You have an early morning? You’ll wake up even earlier to grab a cup of coffee to get you ready.

 

6. Spilled coffee makes you want to cry

Whenever you see the unfortunate scene of spilled coffee, it’s almost like a death of a friend. You feel the need to express your condolences to the person who lost their coffee.

 

7. You never say no to coffee

Even if you’ve had two plus cups, you can never get enough. How can you say no to a warm and delicious cup of joy?

 

8. You’re a gold member at Starbucks

You go to Starbucks so much you’ve become a gold member. You visit your closest Starbucks a few times and week and sometimes even more than that. You reap all the rewards of being a gold member such as early access to new drinks, free birthday drinks and star rewards.

 

9. You collect coffee mugs

You have an entire shelf or two in your kitchen cabinet dedicated to coffee mugs. All your friends and family know you’re a huge lover so you are constantly getting new mugs. Coffee mugs come in so many cool designs, so you can’t help but buy new pretty mugs to make your coffee drinking experience even better.

 

10. Most of the time you have coffee breath

You apologize in advance to people because you usually have coffee breath, which to you is not necessarily a bad thing.

You don’t just love coffee for its taste, smell or variety of flavors; you love the way it makes you feel focused and awake. For all those coffee lovers out there, never give up your favorite drink and always go for another cup!
