I’m a Coffee Expert: Here’s What Your Pumpkin Spice Order Says About You

With autumnal hot drinks back on the menu, it turns out your coffee order says more about your personality than you would suspect.

Whether you’re a pumpkin spice lover or hater, or opt for a comforting chai twist, a leading coffee expert has unpacked what your go-to coffee says about you.

Lizzie Lee, in house coffee expert at Philips says: “As autumn settles in, Brits are embracing the season change through their coffee choices, with the classics getting an autumnal twist and new personality. Your coffee isn’t just a drink – it says everything about your autumnal mood.

“Your favourite autumnal coffee can be a strong indicator of your personality type – it all comes down to how much spice and sweetness you prefer in your coffee.”

Here’s your coffee personality this autumn, according to Lizzie Lee:

Pumpkin spice latte – the trend follower

“It’s possibly the trendiest autumn drink there is and most controversial. While you may find the blend of autumnal spices nostalgic, you’re here for the trend, not the nutmeg.

“If you enjoy a pumpkin spice latte, you have a need to post about it – adding to the social media buzz around this limited-edition autumnal coffee. Also you are probably a sentimental person, making the most of this hyped seasonal drink and embracing the cozy flavours.”

Chai latte – the comfort seeker

“The chai latte is one of the more lightly spiced autumn coffees, meaning you love the comforting spices but in a more understated way. If you drink chai lattes, you want the cozy vibes of autumn in a drink. You are warm, thoughtful and a bit mysterious.”

Spiced mocha – the sophisticated sweetheart

“If your go-to drink is a spiced mocha, you bring an aura of indulgence and have an optimistic nature. With the balance of sweetness and spice in a spiced mocha, you look

for comfort and are slightly adventurous, willing to mix up your regular mocha in line with the seasonal shift.”

Salted maple latte – the big kid

“You have the ultimate sweet tooth and want a treat to satisfy your craving. If you’re sipping a salted maple latte, you’ve got a dessert in coffee form. With the salty-sweet combo you appreciate balance while still being the playful and lively one.
