So Your Shoes Hurt… Fancy A Cappuccino?

Imagine:  you can almost hear the comforting sound of one of Refresh Vending’s Perk machines serving up someone their delicious drink of choice… What would you choose if that someone was you?

Decided? Great, now look at our list below and see if you recognise yourself…

Café Latte

You like your home comforts. You like big warm socks, fluffy pillows –  you might even enjoy the freedom that comes with wearing a onesie. You play it safe in life. You know what you like and you stick to it. That doesn’t mean you don’t think about mixing things up a little…. We bet that every time you approach the vending machine a little voice in your head says ‘choose something different’ or ‘choose something more exciting…’

But then, when it comes to pressing the option on the screen, you have an almost instinctive drink-selection-impulse.

There’s nothing wrong with a latte in all its frothy loveliness, but life is short and there’s an ever-growing abundance of coffee options you are missing out on. Do you really want to grow old without knowing the difference between a cortardo and a cappuccino?

So next time, don’t play it safe, push the boat out and push a different button… just for once. You never know where this dare-devil attitude will take you after that. It could be the start of something.

Espresso (1)

You are always in a rush. You don’t have time to stop for coffee but you relish the little caffeine boost that shot of hot, rich dark and delicious coffee gives you. You are an adrenaline junkie. You probably use the word ‘phsyched’ to describe your mood at least once a week if not more. When the heat is on you are not afraid to step up to the mark with your hardworking attitude. We imagine you as a great multi-tasker, walking quickly and purposefully down corridors whilst wearing a Bluetooth headset. We salute you. It’s people like you who make things happen.

Expresso (2)

Much like the Espresso 1 drinker you are always in a rush, but so much so you have never had time to read the name of your chosen drink correctly. You want everything now and you want it fast which is probably why you were drawn to a drink whose very name indicates that it is served in express time… like an express delivery system. You probably always pay extra for next day delivery on your internet purchases don’t you? Yep – you live life in the fast lane alright but you are missing the little details. Just think; if you’ve been mispronouncing ‘espresso’ as ‘expresso’ for the last 10 years, what other things have you’ve missed without realising? Maybe it’s time to slow down.

Cappuccino

You are stylish. You wear shoes that hurt and trousers that are uncomfortable because that’s the price one pays for looking good. You like wearing sunglasses and you are probably partial to a European city break every now and then. You like to make greetings more awkward than necessary by going in for not just one BUT TWO kisses on the cheek. We also imagine you are the kind of person who enjoys a motivational quote. Maybe it’s printed on a canvas, maybe it’s on your screensaver, maybe it’s on a keyring – somewhere in your peripheral vision you have phrases such as ‘be the change you want to see in the world’ or ‘turn your cant’s into cans and your dreams into plans’

Mocha

You are indecisive. Decision making is not your strong point. You spend hours in the supermarket deliberating over whether to go for lemon fresh shower gel or almond milk body wash and we bet whenever you go to a restaurant you always ask the waitress for a few extra minutes to choose from the menu. However you are open minded, fun loving and a real ‘people-person’. You are a good talker and a good listener but you probably waste a lot of time contemplating life’s big questions to which there are no answers… such as ‘What can I taste more? Coffee or chocolate?’ You are a dreamer and your biggest strength is your creative mind.

So there we have it – what your coffee says about you. Did we get it right?

Now, go and get yourself a drink!
