“A cup of coffee, black as a moonless night. Hit the spot.” It’s fair to say that when David Lynch penned those words for Twin Peaks, back in 1990, he was placing an awful lot of his own personality into them. Tea and hot chocolate both have their place, and nothing defines summer better than a glass of iced tea, but to really get the creative juices going, what you need is a real fine coffee.

Nothing defines a person’s character better than their choice of coffee. A cup of milky hot chocolate before bedtime is a pleasant-tasting beverage to get you to sleep. Add a dash of mocha to the mix, and you’re suddenly vibrant, alive and ready for a night on the tiles.

It’s true, mocha drinkers really are more fun loving. Research has shown that those who like their coffee frothy or a latte are the ones most likely to go clubbing on a Saturday night. Mocha drinkers tend to be young, gossip-loving females who enjoy showbiz magazines. They listen to dance music, have lots of Facebook friends and enjoy texting. A point of fact – most empty coffee cups found on public transport are those of latte drinkers.

Cappuccino drinkers, meanwhile, are masculine and gregarious. They read the sports pages, and prefer to spend the night at home with a good DVD. They aspire to exclusive apartments and well-paid sales jobs, and enjoy mixing with others in their social peer group.

Flat black coffee drinkers are mature sophisticates. They enjoy classical music, country pursuits and expensive cars. They eschew social media sites but read their news online.

So – how does coffee define you?
