    If you really need caffeine, just take caffeine pills.

    Coffee is a very inefficient and expensive way to imbibe caffeine.

        Well, if that ‘preparation ritual’ is worth paying 1000% more, then people should understand that’s why they’re doing it.

        We gotta get this “it’s for the caffeine” idea out of people’s heads if it’s not really for the caffeine.

      You know, some people actually like the taste of coffee. I don’t know what flavors caffeine pills come in, but i doubt that they are comparable to a nice, hot cup of cappuccino in the morning, and feeling the caffeine and the warmth while waking up.

      Coffee and tea both have a slightly different buzz from one another and caffeine pills IMO. At the very least caffeine pills definitely hit way faster, and that can be too much for those sensitive.

      I do think coffee itself is a luxury that everyone is used to having. And to be fair, it’s been dirt cheap for quite a while. A lot of the world gets by on instant coffee and basic tea, though.
