This poll comes out of a discussion I had awhile ago with the owner of a local coffee shop. He has a theory about a particular pattern amongst coffee drinkers, and he backs it up with 25 years experience working in the coffee industry. I’ll explain the theory once I get enough responses - I think it makes sense, but the skeptic in me wants me to test it out first.

Thanks again. (And sorry, this isn’t because I’m planning on inviting you all over for supper this weekend.)
Whoops, forgot to edit that redundant “other” out of the final choice for each question. “Other” should be the second-last choice for every question. Select the last choice only if you don’t eat/drink that particular item or if you have no preference.

Let me just specify here: if I could eat it more often, I would–I only have it every once in a great while; it is my favorite meat though and if I could I would prefer it. And not to offend anyone but I just don’t think of what it is… 4. Which of the following types of coffee roast do you prefer?

Hmmm…I think I know what the test reveals, but don’t want to skew results by saying anything. It will be interesting to see what the theory behind this might be.
