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.

Let’s see.

1. Milk chocolate
2. Fruit wine and/or dessert wines (sherry, etc.) Not fruit flavored wines!
3. Lamb
4. Doesn’t matter that much. (However, I do prefer a stronger roast if it’s for iced coffee, else it gets too watery tasting.)
