- Drinking Coffee stains teeth.
- Caffeine pills is way cheaper than Coffee.
- Swallowing Caffeine pill is more efficient than trying to drink coffee.
- You can’t control the caffeine dose with Coffee, but you can with pills.
One important difference about price: my job has free coffee in every break room. They do not offer free caffeine pills.
Drinking Everclear makes more sense than having a beer.
Situationally yeah if you are counting calories and don’t like the taste of beer.
Can’t dip no cookies into a pill, and that’s a fact, Jack
Unpopular, maybe, but I agree with OP. When I finally counted up all the caffeine I was consuming, I found I was over 1500mg/day.
I switched to caffeine-free drinks the next day, and tapered down to 200mg in the mornings.
Apparently, I shouldn’t try to explain this to people IRL.
200mg? That a Celsius?
2x 100mg caffeine pills per day.
I would agree with you if they made caffeine pills in a range of doses. Though admittedly it’s been a while since I’ve looked into caffeine pills, I don’t remember seeing anything that less than 200mg of caffeine per dose. Which is a fairly high dose. Most energy drinks contain a little more than half of that.
This also ignores the fact that for a lot of people the act of preparing and drinking their beverage of choice is part of their daily morning preparation. That morning ritual is part of good sleep hygiene as it helps you transition into being awake and alert for the day.
Plus there are other health benefits to drinking coffee or tea that you don’t get from the caffeine alone.

Like what?
For coffee: lower risk of heart disease, kidney disease, and type-2 diabetes. As well as lower risks for a handful of degenerative neurological disorders.
For tea: lower risks of some cancers, better regulation of blood sugar, and improved sleep quality.

Both also offer benefits to alertness and cognitive function, though that benefit seems to primarily stem from caffeine.
What about both combined? Is is beneficial to, for instance, drink a coffee right after you wake up, and tea, 30 minutes later?
What’s for dinner tonight honey?
McDonald’s At-Home Nourishment Cube 2.0! Now available in green flavor!
Oh boy, I was getting tired of red flavor!
Agreed and I did this for a bit until I got lazy.
And if you have taste and money you can just drink monster energy instead which addresses 1,2 and 4 and is just enjoyable and tasty and much less harmful than most coffee since it has no sugar, calories and the caffeine dose is always clearly stated in mg, which is hard to find for coffee tins.

Thank you. I play my part in the world the only way I can.
Your cited sources check out. Despite the saltiness, you’re mostly fine here.
EXCEPT where you call them a moron. If you can edit the comment to remove the personal insult and reply when you’re done, the comment can be restored.
I can’t edit a removed comment, can I?
Do you think it’s a good idea to remove valuable information because the person who said it is an asshole, or can we maybe move past trying to fit our egos into ones and zeroes?
I thought you could? If not, feel free to re-post it without the personal attacks.
Bruh.
And we should just get rid of sex, all insemination should be done in a lab because it’s much easier.
True … Your opinion isn’t gonna be popular any time soon ;) . It’s not (just) about caffeine. The problem seems to me you never had a decent cup coffee in your life.
Drinking a Cup of hot water works better to relax me better than anything else.

Then a supper of salt and a waltz through your empty bed?
I will add in my own twist:
Caffeine pills are better than those shitty MiO caffeined water flavor squeeze bottles.
- MiO is stupid expensive and owned by an evil megacorp.
- Black plastic isn’t recyclable.
- Dosages are standardized for caffeine pills. If you squeeze thr MiO too hard and don’t notice, you’re gonna have a bad time.
- You can wash it down with any flavor liquid you choose, not just chemical fruit flavor.
Have someone jet wash your skin makes more sense than having a shower
Every possible way? How about the fact that I drink coffee for the taste and ritual - not for the caffeine.
Every. Possible. Way.
Do you just take vitamin pills instead of eating food to get nutrients?
You didn’t address my argument. How is a caffeine pill supposed to substitute for my favorite moment in the morning - sitting down and enjoying a hot, delicious beverage?
The pill contains small robots that burrow into your brain and twiddle the neurons to make you THINK you’re enjoying a hot coffee in the morning
In reality, it’s shortening your lifespan by around 10 years every time. Small price to pay for white teeth, though!
Coffee is healthier and brush your teeth lol
How is Coffee healthier exactly?
F L A V I N O I D S
See also, numerous studies. Coffee is actually chock full of good shit and 2 to 3 cups in the morning had been shown to protect health.
This is all true, but thankfully tea exists which is both caffeinated and unlike coffee doesn’t taste like somebody already digested it.
Do you like how coffee smells?
Occasionally, not universally. I also occasionally enjoy a small bit of coffee flavor ice cream, though never very much, and I do actually like coffee in food occasionally; the espresso bellavitano is delightful and a small pinch of coffee or espresso is very nice in chilis, pork rubs, or chocolate cakes and mousses.
But drinking the stuff is no bueno for me.
That’s fair, the taste is not the smell. I think coffee smells a million times better than the taste
Its one of my big 3 smells; bread, coffee, bacon.
Just say you don’t like coffee and go take your pills mate some of us enjoy the flavor of the beverage
