Coffee is the default first date, which makes it fertile ground for openers. This is our full set of coffee pick up lines, ranked by reader votes, covering espresso, lattes, beans, grinding and the barista behind the counter. They work in a queue, at a cafe table, over a work coffee run, or when you are trying to turn a caffeine habit into a conversation. Some lean on the obvious puns — brewing, steaming, being someone's cup of — and readers have kept those near the top regardless, which tells you something about how well the obvious ones actually work.
