Many coffee drinkers prefer their joe black. And new research shows their tastes can say a lot about their personalities. A study out of the University of Innsbruck in Austria found that a taste for bitter food and drinks is "positively associated" with traits such as psychopathy and everyday sadism. The study's results, which appeared in the journal Appetite, came out of two experiments involving 953 people in total. Researchers Christina Sagioglou and Tobias Greitemeyer had participants fill out a questionnaire asking about their food preferences. They also asked questions related to traits such as narcissism, psychopathy, Machivellianism and the "Big Five" personality factors. They determined that tastes for bitter foods, such as black coffee, beer, radishes and celery (participants called these the "most bitter" foods in the study), were linked to malevolent traits. They found a particularly strong connection between a preference for bitter taste and everyday sadism. Those that preferred sweet tastes, meanwhile, were more likely to be agreeable. Humans have an innate taste for sweet food; it provides energy and essential nutrients, said a 2012 study in The Journal of Nutrition. The inverse is also true of many humans. They have been known to avoid bitter foods, because such a taste has been linked with toxins, say the authors of the Appetite study.

Enjoying black coffee doesn't necessarily mean you're a psychopath, or a sadist. But the study gives us reason to wonder about people who will take a straight cup at Tim Hortons over a double-double.

Eh ? Noep. EyePhone 4s still the best smart phone ever. But I wonder at people that spend their money on Tim's swill and then drink it straight up. Same brain surgeons that believe that Hamburger Helper is home cookin'.
One cup of the most delicuious black coffee is all I desire when I
rise. Fresh ground coffee beans in my own grinder. Flouride/chlorine
free water heated in a small sauce pan to almost boiling and then
pour into a #2 Melitta brown coffee filter with a heaping 1/8th cup
of fresh ground coffee. Takes a minute to "drip" through and I'm
set "to wake up" with the Weather Channel. Coffee is also a catlyst
to keep you regular...meaning the need to take a dump.

That's good coffee.
So a visitor should bring his # 4 to get wound out good and caffeinated if visiting ?
I guess we could run a 1/2 dozen loads in the # 2 but that is a lot of work eh.

Bring up a great point...doin Melitta #2's serving company. Since Mrs Krink passed
think only Uke..Tu..Mtnman have tried my coffee. It took some doing but I pulled it
off. I think Uke actually had to take a dump after that cup...the smell of lit matches
gave him away. Yes its been a long time since I've made coffee for others.
I have all sorts of coffee making appliances in my "Coffee Pot Museum" in the
