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.
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.

I have some off brand Folgers (the kind you get at Family Dollar that's like $5 instead of $6.50). I should cold brew it and sell it to post-Millennials.

Slap the core key words "sustainable" and "organic" and "fair trade" on the label and you'll be able to charge a larger mark-up.

You forgot "conflict-free" and my (least) favorite, "no GMOs".

I also forgot "gluten free." Sigh. Marketing is hard.
