☕ What Your Coffee Order Says About You (and Your Reading Habits) - calling all coffee lovers

As everyone that LOVES coffee knows, coffee isn’t just caffeine — it’s a personality test in a cup. And if you’re a reader? Oh, your coffee choice tells me exactly what’s on your nightstand and how likely you are to “accidentally” stay up until 3 a.m. finishing that book.

So, grab your favorite mug, settle in, and let’s see if I can read you better than your horoscope.

1. Black Coffee lover

You like your stories like your brew: strong, no-nonsense, and with a kick to the gut. You’re probably devouring thrillers, gritty mysteries, or intense literary fiction. Cliffhangers don’t scare you — they fuel you. You secretly judge anyone who says they “just couldn’t get into” The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Your Reader Energy: Determined. Intense. You’ll stick with a 900-page epic just for the satisfaction of finishing it.

2. Latte (Hot or Iced) lover

Ah, the latte reader. You want comfort with a little sophistication. Rom-coms, warm family sagas, or BookTok romances are your go-tos. You probably adore the friends-to-lovers trope, and you’re not above reading something purely because the cover is cute.

Your Reader Energy: A hopeless romantic who also wants aesthetically pleasing bookshelf photos.

3. Cappuccino lover

Fluffy foam on top? You’re here for drama with style. You love lush historical romances, glamorous period dramas, and books that feel like you’ve just stepped into a different world. If there’s an elaborate costume ball in chapter 12, you’re all in.

Your Reader Energy: Stylish escapist who pretends not to cry at bittersweet endings (but absolutely does).

4. Cold Brew lover

You’re a plot twist addict. Fast-paced fantasy? Yes. Dark academia? Even better. You like books that feel modern and sharp but still have layers you can dissect in a group chat at 2 a.m.

Your Reader Energy: Trend-aware and always one step ahead on book trends — you were reading Fourth Wing before it blew up.

5. Espresso lover

Short, intense, unforgettable. That’s you — and your TBR. You have a taste for short novels that pack an emotional punch, modern classics, and bold nonfiction. You’re the friend who drops a one-sentence book rec that changes someone’s entire reading year.

Your Reader Energy: Minimalist reader with maximum impact.

6. Mocha lover

You want sweetness with your plot. Your shelves are stacked with cozy mysteries, small-town romances, and feel-good fantasies. If the book doesn’t make you smile at least once every chapter, you’re not interested.

Your Reader Energy: Wholesome but secretly a sucker for a good enemies-to-lovers subplot.

7. Flat White lover

Balanced. Smooth. No unnecessary fluff. You prefer clean writing, well-paced stories, and contemporary fiction with relatable characters. You’re the kind of reader who can sell anyone on your favorite book because you really know how to pick them.

Your Reader Energy: Reliable book rec giver in your friend group.

☕ Final Sip: Whether you’re a black coffee purist or a whipped-cream-on-top mocha dreamer, your coffee choice says a lot — and so do your bookshelves. So next time someone asks for a book rec, just hand them your coffee order. It might tell them everything they need to know.
