11 essential facts of life for people who don't drink coffee

“No, I don’t drink coffee. Yes, I can function without it” – you, 20 times a day

1. Fellow adults regard you with a degree of suspicion when you say you don’t like coffee

You can feel them judging you with their eyes.

2. You’re regularly asked questions like, “How do you even survive?”

And treated to tales of how they “actually couldn’t cope” without coffee.

3. People often try to convince you that you’ve simply been drinking the wrong coffee

“Oh, you’ve only drank instant coffee? See, that’s where you’re going wrong. I guarantee if you have a Nespresso, you’ll never go back.”

Nope, I’m grand, thanks.

4. You don’t know the difference between a cappuccino and a macchiato, and frankly, you couldn’t give two shites

5. But you do occasionally find yourself unable to participate in conversations in the work kitchen

Person #1: Oh my God, I’m so wrecked. I’m going to need three coffees this morning.

Person #2: Saaaaame, I don’t know how people live without coffee.

You: *makes tea in silence*

7. If this is what coffee does to people, you don’t want any part of it

8. Going on a coffee run for someone else is extremely stressful

“Can I have a… grande… latte?”

Seriously, this is all Greek to you.

10. You’ve been known to have a hot chocolate on particularly wintry mornings

Sure, it may be only 9.45am, but you deserve hot drinks like everyone else.

Who’s feeling smug now?
