Thank them for the courtesy, but kindly decline. It's professional, not a social gathering. ...Unless of-course you are been interviewed for... 'coffee-testing-quality check' in a quality research coffee company!  more

Hhhhhh i drink a coffe but not in interview i'm already done in BUSSINES Administration i'm looking a job

The interviewing agencies usually askvif you do want the tea that is actually the tea test and I can say is part of the queries within an interview... session. It is for the candidate whether he or she respond with a yes or no. Is not really a big deal you are not enforce to drink it. more

1) Try not to slurp
2) Try not to spill the coffee down your shirt (especially if you are wearing white)

Yes, I know the coffee test. I think it’s a clever way to observe someone’s attitude toward small responsibilities. I believe small actions show a lot... about someone’s work ethic, so I’d naturally return the cup or ask where to place it.” more

The reservations I have with these types of "tests" is that they are not in any way a reliable indicator of performance on the job. Unless of course... you are interviewing for an etiquette role. There's lots of people that have "failed" the "coffee test" but kill it on the job!! On the flip side there's even more that will probably pass it because they know about it but ... more

The last thing I need is to have to use the bathroom 5 mins after they judged my coffee making/drinking decisions. Wouldn't even want to work there... honestly 🤣 more

Danged If You Do & Danged If You Don’t.

Just do what you normally do, be cordial & do not sweat the little things. I have watch many lose their... identities by over thinking each action or reaction.

If you were a mind reader, you wouldn’t need a job? more

Also a test of Bias, preconceived notions or assumptions. Do you begin to add sugar or cream prior to tasting. For food, adding salt or pepper prior... to tasting. It appears as if you believe that they don't know what they are doing. If you have preconceived notions are you able to learn new concepts; are you flexible; will you work well on a team?  more

Some will add more sugar to the coffee even before they taste it

I'd rather not take coffee in an interview. I'd just say politely, "no, thank you"

I will appreciate them for offering but l won't take . thank

I thank them for the courtesy, but kindly decline. It's professional, not a social gathering.

I have my coffee before the meeting!
Although, I’m polite towards others if they ask if I would care for some so I just simply smile and reply thanks... but no thank you! more

What are the looking for. What's the tiny unspoken stuff that needs to be handle?

It’s best not to drink or eat during an interview unless you’re having the interview over lunch. Just don’t make a pig of yourself!

Request tea.

I decline any offer of food or beverage during an interview. This is a professional meeting. Not a social date.

i don't usually drink coffee in the middle of an interview unless the other person is going to also.
