Posted Thu Nov 1, 2012, 3:17pm Subject: Gourmet/Specialty Coffee Survey
Hi I'm doing a research paper for a class, and being a coffee enthusiast myself, I chose the topic to be the consumption of gourmet/specialty coffee. The paper requires that I take a survey, so I have a quick survey concerning my topic. I would really, really appreciate if you'd took a minute or two to fill it out, it'd really help me out!
To the OP: I have no idea what your survey is for, or it is trying to accomplish, but I fear it may not accomplish what you intend. As pointed out, your definition of "gourmet/speciality coffee" is -- to say the least -- limited, and not applicable to the overwhelming majority of people on this site. (Few, if any, here would consider a "frappuccino" to be either "gourmet" or "speciality.") Your options are way too limited.
We try to be a pretty helpful group around here, but I fear our answers will a) not be very helpful, and b) give you a false impression based upon a very unhelpful and poorly designed survey.
I agree that it's a poorly designed survey that's being presented to the wrong group, unless you're running around and posting this everywhere in the world. CG is an extremely self-selected grouping with a slant that's not likely to give you any sort of reliable data for the general public. It's like going to adoption day at the pet store and doing a survey concerning how much people like cats and dogs.
