Are you one of those people that won’t let anyone else make them a brew? Well you’re not alone! A recent study of 2000 adults concluded that just under 50% of people would rather not having anything at all then let someone else make them their morning cuppa…
The same study also found that 23% of adults need their coffee to be “absolutely perfect” before they’ll drink it, and 14% consider themselves to be coffee making experts. Other results from the study show that over a fifth of adults would be happy to tell someone if the coffee that had made was awful – I’m not so sure this study was conducted in Britain.
Perhaps the most surprising result from this study was that 14% of participants stated that they’d had a falling out with someone over a bad cup of coffee. We’d understand falling out over being served a fig roll but not a cup of coffee!
Here are the top 20 “mistakes” other people might make when prepping your coffee:
- Making it too watery
- Making it too strong
- Putting too much milk in
- Adding sugar/ not adding sugar based on my preference
- Making it too cold
- Using a cup or mug which is too small
- Making it far too hot
- Using the wrong milk e.g., oat milk in instant coffee
- Not mixing it together enough
- Only using instant coffee
- Adding flavoured syrups
- Putting in a glass or mug with no handle
- Over-steeping the coffee
- Burning the coffee beans
- Putting it in a glass
- Giving caffeinated instead of decaffeinated
- Using stale beans
- Making it too frothy
- Adding chocolate on top of a cappuccino
- Using tap water instead of spring water
Most of these seem quite reasonable, however I’ve never seen or heard of anyone making coffee with a bottle of spring water. I suppose it could be a thing in areas which have hard water, but surely you’d save money just picking up a filter…
