We asked the freshman class a variety of multiple choice and short answer questions pertaining to coffee. Above are the results of the multiple choice questions. First, we asked whether or not people actually liked coffee to get an idea of how popular it was and what percentage drank it regularly. We found that the people who like coffee or sort of like coffee outnumber the people who don't like coffee by quite a bit. From the results of the poll we can predict that most freshmen like and drink coffee.
Our second question asked how often people drank coffee. Among coffee drinkers, there was quite an even spread between once a day and once a month, with around 4 answers for each. We concluded that there is quite a variety in how often the freshmen drink coffee.
Our next question was what kind of coffee the freshmen drank. Out of the people who did drink coffee, caffeinated was the most popular, which was what we predicted. There were only 4 coffee drinkers who said they did not drink caffeinated coffee.
In the results of our "what do you put in your coffee" question, we saw that multiple sugars and creams was the most popular among coffee drinkers, followed by sugar and cream. Apparently most people do not like black coffee and like to sweeten or dull their coffee.
Next we asked about instant coffee. Only about a quarter of the people we asked drank instant, and only 4 knew what brand it was. Instant coffee does not seem very popular in the freshmen class, and if they drink it they do not necessarily just drink one brand.
Our last multiple choice question was about Colombian coffee, specifically if people had drunk it. All three results were very similar in results, each taking about a third. What we can conclude from this is that Colombian coffee isn't specifically of any interest to people, and that an equal amount of people do not really know where their coffee is from (which we should have asked as a question).
We also asked a few short answer questions. We asked where people got their coffee, if they knew what fair trade and organic was and what they thought about chain stores. In terms of where people got their coffee, it seems like the most popular places to get coffee are Dunkin Donuts and their houses. A couple of people get their coffee from Cumberland Farms, La Brioche and Capital Grounds, but these were not predominant responses. Of all of the stores to buy coffee, Dunkin Donuts was the most popular. The questions about Fair Trade and Organic showed that most of the polled freshmen knew what the two terms meant in a fair amount of detail, although less people knew what fair trade was then organic. In our questions about chain stores, only a few people said they didn't like them for a variety of reasons (they're expensive, they didn't give water to 911 survivors), but only a couple said ti was because of the low quality of coffee. All of the other coffee drinkers are fine with chains. This shows that many freshmen don't pay a ton of attention to quality and go more for convenience. All in all, we got what we wanted from this survey. We found out that most freshmen drink coffee, they know what fair trade and organic mean but are ok with chain stores, and like to put lots of sugar and cream in their coffee.
