It is the little ritual that many people use to kickstart their morning. But missing out on coffee or having a bad one can ruin your whole day, according to new research by SharkNinja.
Key Findings on Coffee's Impact
The biggest complaints after a lack of caffeine include sluggishness or low energy (29.9%), feelings of fatigue and tiredness (28.9%), and irritability (17.4%). More than half of coffee drinkers (54%) admit that a ruined first coffee impacts their mood for the remainder of the day.
TV presenter and author Frankie Bridge, a coffee lover, said: “Having a bad coffee can throw me off for the rest of the day. That’s why I’ve officially banned 'Brew-tal' mornings.”
Common Coffee Crimes
Coffee drinkers' top "coffee crimes" have been identified as using expired milk (36%), being served the wrong coffee order (15%), burnt coffee beans (17%), and using the wrong milk alternative (14%).
To salvage the day, 19% will immediately shell out on a takeaway coffee to "rescue" a failed home brew. Around 17% of coffee drinkers admitted spending up to £100 every month on takeaway coffees, just to avoid morning disappointment.
Solution: The Ninja AutoBarista
To banish bad coffee mornings, Ninja has launched the Ninja AutoBarista, an automatic espresso, filter, and cold brew machine. It automatically sets the perfect grind, temperature, and milk froth style, delivering a café-style drink at the touch of a button.
AutoBarista devotee Frankie added: “Having a machine like the Ninja AutoBarista in the kitchen is an absolute lifesaver. It does the thinking for me when I’m half-asleep, giving me a perfect, café-quality latte at the touch of a button. No disappointment, no stressful café queues, just guaranteed survival in a mug.”
