Psychopaths Drink Their Coffee Black, Study Finds

If you like your coffee black, you may be someone who prefers strong flavours, takes good care of their health, or just wants to drink their coffee the way it’s supposed to be drunk. 

Or, you may be a psychopath.

At least, that’s according to a new study published in the journal Appetite, which found a correlation between a love of black coffee and sadist or psychopathic tendencies.

The research surveyed more than 1,000 adults, asking them to give their food and flavour preferences. The participants then took a series of personality tests assessing antisocial personality traits, such as sadism, narcissism and psychopathy. 

The study, carried out by researchers at the University of Innsbruck, found that a preference for bitter flavours was linked to psychopathic behaviour.

The study missed a key, deciding factor: the coffee that psychopaths drink black is instant.

    What a coincidence, I'm drinking their coffee black too.

    I like extra cream and extra sugar. My wife drinks hers black. Now I understand.

    (bonus, responders can make much of the possible double entendres)

      My wife drinks her black.

      All respect for married Central African descendents who like extra sweet and creamy coffee.
