The first thing on your mind when you wake up is getting a cup of coffee.

I don’t care how or where I have to get it, I need it.

On days when you have to skip the coffee, people tend to notice.

“You seem a bit cranky today.”

“Yeah, I haven’t had any coffee.”

Coffee is the answer to all your problems: exhaustion, crankiness, procrastination, self-loathing...

You’ve started believing that you actually need coffee in order to function.

Without it, you’re useless.

You’re shocked every time you hear someone say they don’t like coffee.

But you are secretly jealous of their self-control.

You have a collection of mugs.

(Morning mugs, evening mugs, study mugs, to-go mugs… different mugs for different coffee needs.)

You have a very specific order when you go and buy coffee.

And your family and friends very likely know that order.

…due to the fact that they have been with you on multiple coffee runs.

And you can recognize the workers at your favorite coffee joint.

And they can recognize you.

And at least one of them knows your order.

You’re not afraid to try a new flavor/type of coffee.

But that is rare because you are very fond of your usual order.

(A medium iced caramel macchiato with almond milk and light ice.)

The weather does not determine what kind of coffee you have.

Even during the dead of winter, you crave a nice cup of iced coffee.

90% of the gifts you receive are coffee related.

– whether they be gift cards to Dunkin or Starbucks, another mug, etc.

You ADORE coffee shops.

You find a strange joy in sitting in a cute coffee shop, doing absolutely nothing but drinking your latte.

This is satisfying to you:

Most of the money you make goes to coffee.

Hey, if you’re going to splurge on something, it might as well be a $5 cup of coffee, rather than a $50 pair of shoes.

You’ve tried recreating your favorite Starbucks (or Dunkin’) drink at home.

…and probably failed and decided that it’s worth the cash.

Tea is for the faint of heart.

You hate when anyone judges your coffee addiction.

But no matter what, coffee has your heart.
