Coffee: it's a right of passage for any working adult (or student). Once you've had your first few cups, you get hooked. While dependence on coffee (and other forms of caffeine) isn't usually dangerous — it doesn't threaten your health the way other drugs do — it's never good to feel like you need a substance to function.
But if you need it to wake yourself up, I hate to tell you, you're addicted.
So, shoutout to all the coffee lovers out there, because here are 15 signs you are completely, totally, 100 percent a coffee addict.
1. You like what you like and that's it.
Warner Brothers
Although you MIGHT be open to trying new things.
2. Its all about that Gourmet and freshly ground coffee.
3. You have it every day
And I mean EVERY day. It's like you can't function without it.
4. You go local
Warner Brothers
Yes the occasional Starbucks is good, but you perfer the local small shops that have interesting flavors and can't be found anywhere else.
5. You spend more on coffee than food or clothes.
So much more...
7. The barista at your local Starbucks knows your name and order.
But is that a bad thing?? Not really, especially if it means you get your coffee quicker.
8. You have a super complex coffee maker that does more than just make black coffee
I mean if you're going to spend all that money anyways, why not just get a machine for at home.
9. You have a whole cabinet full of mugs
And each one is unique. You also likely know where you got them all.
10. You can't even fathom the idea of giving up coffee
I mean its so a part of your everyday routine.
11. You have no problem dropping 5 or more dollars on a drink
I mean really, what's a 10-dollar cup of coffee as long as it's good right?
12. No matter how late to something you are, you always make sure you have time to stop for coffee
Even if that means ordering before you get to the shop.
