Black Coffee

The term "black coffee" describes the presentation of coffee without any additives. Black coffee does not contain any milk or cream whatsoever, begetting a very potent black appearance. Black coffee is also free from any sugar or artificial sweeteners such as saccharin (Hermesetas), aspartame (NutraSweet), and cyclamate (Sucaryl). The majority of coffee drinkers opt for both milk and sugar, and only a minority of them take their java black.

Drinkers of Black Coffee

There have been many theories surrounding those who drink black coffee, sparking debate and controversy over their personalities and demeanors. Due to the raw form of black coffee, it has often been compared to taking a shot of vodka. Both are considered to be the pure versions of their relative categories, and three schools of thought exist regarding black coffee drinkers. As you may conclude, the combination of all three groups covers a very diverse range of people.

The Groups

The first belief is that drinkers of black coffee are plain, boring, and uninteresting. These people are dull and lack the imagination to order or create a more sensational beverage full of delightful intricacies. These are the shy introverts who are cautious and conservative. Moderation is the mantra for this group.

The second theory regarding drinkers of black coffee is a corollary from the vodka analogy made above. Ergo, black coffee drinkers are the assertive machos. They are both rebellious and eccentric. These are the exuberant extroverts who can handle the onslaught of bitterness brought on by coffee sans additives.

The third group of black coffee drinkers are the thoughtful realists. They are society's sophisticated elite that often lurk around Starbucks coffee shops with a copy of The Fountainhead. These java drinkers are considered to be direct, honest, and frank. Independence is a common trait shared among this group, and they are never alone in the company of their own thoughts.
