What’s your favourite brew? Bet it’s a latte…

Typically containing a single shotย ofย coffee, steamed milk, and a frothy top,ย researchers polled 2,000 coffee drinkers and found 38 per cent like this varietyย theย most.

Atย theย other endย ofย theย scale, 14 per cent consider an espresso to beย theirย favourite typeย ofย coffee, while a quarter are more โ€˜middleย ofย theย roadโ€™ and opt for a โ€˜straightforwardโ€™ flat white.

But regardlessย ofย what form it takes, 65 per cent are particular about howย theirย beloved coffee is made โ€“ includingย theย strength,ย theย typesย ofย beans used, amountย ofย milk and more.

And 35 per cent are so passionate aboutย theย brewed beverageย theyโ€™ll actively refuse to drink a coffee if itโ€™s not made toย theirย standards.

Philips Domestic Appliances commissionedย theย researchย to launch its new LatteGo barista style coffee machine range.ย Theย study found moreย ofย those living inย theย South East likeย theirย coffee โ€˜strongโ€™ (46 per cent) than anywhere else inย theย UK.

While those residing in Northern Ireland are most likely to likeย theirย coffee โ€˜sweetโ€™ (43 per cent).

Andย almostย halfย ofย those residing in London (46 per cent) likeย theirย coffee โ€˜milkyโ€™ โ€“ย theย highest proportionย ofย any region.

It also emerged thatย theย typicalย adultย drinks 876 cupsย ofย coffee a year โ€“ justย overย two a day.

Seven in 10 consider drinking it to be partย ofย theirย daily routine, with 48 per cent claimingย they โ€˜canโ€™t functionโ€™ without a morning coffee.

Half (52 per cent) tend to enjoy coffee alone,ย one in five (19 per cent)ย often have it withย office colleagues, while 13 per cent tend to haveย one whenย spending time withย theirย cat or dog.

More than eight in 10 (83 per cent) likeย theirย coffee with milk, and three quarters like dairy.

But 24 per cent prefer dairy alternatives, with oat milkย theย most popular (five per cent).

More than half (52 per cent) like whatย they describe as a โ€˜glugโ€™ย ofย milk, and 28 per cent prefer a smaller amount โ€“ just a โ€˜dashโ€™.

Theย researchย also found that despiteย theirย loveย ofย coffee, 34 per cent have been so befuddled byย theย exotic sounding namesย theyโ€™ve ordered without knowing what typeย ofย coffeeย theyโ€™ll actually be getting.

While 19 per cent admittedย theyย only drink coffee because it makesย them feel โ€˜more grown-up.โ€™

Carried out throughย OnePoll,ย theย study found 45 per cent considerย themselves to be coffee aficionados.
