Are you a frappuccino poser or an espresso loner? TV’s body language expert Judi James tells how the coffee you drink reveals more than you think. FRAPPUCCINO. The drink: Any variation in iced coffee. Judi’s verdict: A bit of a poser. They like to stay at the cutting edge of the coffee market as in the rest of life. When new trends appear they are likely to follow and see themselves as trend-setters. There’s a chance people will see them as a bit style over substance. At home they favour modern d’ecor over antiques. They’re also a bit flighty – friendships and relationships tend to come and go. Frappuccino drinkers are social butterflies who shy away from long-term relationships – they want to keep moving. ESPRESSO. The drink: A strong coffee made by forcing hot water through crushed coffee beans. Judi’s verdict: It’s a drink that’s over quickly, so the drinker isn’t necessarily a very sociable person or, at least, tends to get bored easily and moves on quickly from situations. Espresso drinkers can be loners and certainly have attitudes – they might be sarcastic and aggressive if pushed. When it comes to relationships, they’re tough and know exactly what they want. They’re always trying to achieve something they can’t quite reach.
