americano (#ab77bd)

DEFINING TRAITS: classy, organized, controlled, ethical, critical, perfectionistic, grounded 

you’ll be hard pressed to find an americano whose living space or physical appearance isn’t pristine, put-together, and polished. they’re the over-achievers and do-gooders of the world. with such an ingrained sense of “right” and “wrong,” americanos are especially hard on themselves if they’ve betrayed their strict personal code. since these impossibly high standards translate to the outside world as well, they’re pretty hard to impress. and if you do happen to earn the respect of an americano, you better not do anything to mess it up. 

italian soda (#bd77ac)

DEFINING TRAITS: accepting, jovial, kindhearted, relaxed, supportive, easy-going, low maintenance

italian sodas will do anything to make sure their friends, family, and co-workers are existing in harmony. usually the “voice of reason” when something has gone wrong, it’s very rare to find an italian soda willing to blindly jump into conflict without knowing the nuances of both sides. despite possessing immense natural talent for conflict resolution, italian sodas tend to simplify complex issues if a compromise isn’t met (when this happens, they usually end up making everything worse).

hot cocoa (#bd7789)

DEFINING TRAITS: youthful, naive, charming, spontaneous, scattered, undisciplined, optimistic 

most hot cocoas have some manifestation of the “peter pan” complex (in other words: they refuse to grow up). their gregarious, high-spirited personalities usually make them very popular in their social circles. cocoas are almost always “up to something,” typically sporting a coquettish grin and mischievous glint in their eye. while entertaining and charismatic, hot cocoas can also be scattered and undisciplined. when bored, they especially struggle with impulse control. 

irish coffee (#bd8877)

DEFINING TRAITS: boisterous, ardent, strong, decisive, confrontational, assertive, intimidating

oozing strength and self-confidence, irish coffees are unafraid to let the world know how they feel. driven entirely from a place of self-motivation, irish coffees fixate on independence and refuse to be anything but self-reliant. at their best, irish coffees are awe-inspiring and heroic, assuming bold leadership roles and enacting positive change. at their worst, they’re ego-centric, dictatorial, and excessively controlling. 

cafe au lait (#bdab77)

DEFINING TRAITS: mellow, warm, comforting, generous, sincere, empathetic, people-pleasing 

a cafe au lait has a unique talent for giving the warmest hugs and dishing out the sweetest compliments. the very definition of “humble to a fault,” cafe au laits are motivated by a place of pure altruism. with that in mind, these individuals can become the personification of a welcome mat and constantly open themselves up to being taken advantage of and “walked all over.” it takes them a while to realize when this has happened, but when they do, they retreat inside themselves for a little while. but once healed, their heart always seems to go back to dangling around their sleeve.

matcha (#8dbd75)

DEFINING TRAITS: bold, ambitious, energetic, driven, status-conscious, charismatic, self-assured

vibrant and confident, matchas know what they want and exactly how they’re going to get it. once they’ve set their eyes on a prize, there’s really no stopping them. most end up reaching the stars; very few fall flat on their face (when they do, it’s always in a cloud of dizzying spectacle). since they are so ambitious, matchas can come across as hyper-competitive, even to those who crave healthy competition. those who are more passive in nature struggle to relate and are usually put off by their vibrant, go-getter personalities.

cold brew (#6b99c7)

DEFINING TRAITS: sophisticated, worldly, serious, analytical, alert, cerebral, reclusive

with a thirst for knowledge, cold brews prefer to sit back and observe. they have an uncanny knack for identifying patterns and pin-pointing flaws in a system, making them extremely useful in emergency situations. cold brews aren’t without their quirks though, and they certainly possess many of them! most of the time it is precisely the “little spark of madness” that inspires their most visionary ideas. if they aren’t challenged intellectually, they tend to become cynical and isolated. nothing but the cold, hard facts for these folk!

london fog (#7789bd)

DEFINING TRAITS: musing, introspective, melancholic, expressive, passionate, creative, sensitive 

desperate to maintain a sense of authenticity in this rapidly changing world, london fogs are incredibly self-aware. while deeply passionate and highly emotional individuals, they are rarely (if ever) cloying. in fact, london fogs have a tendency to withhold themselves, especially around those they don’t trust. if they happen to withhold negative feelings for too long, they can suffer from fits of self-indulgence and melancholy.

cup of joe (#8877bd)

DEFINING TRAITS: conventional, ordinary, candid, dependable, responsible, secure, trustworthy
