- 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.
And we should just get rid of sex, all insemination should be done in a lab because it’s much easier.
Yeah its more efficient for sure, but coffee/tea/other caffeine producing plants have more alkaloids than just caffeine in them. Pure THC feels different than cannabis, plain nicotine is different than tobacco, etc. Yeah it will do the job, but elements of the experience are missing. Ever notice that the caffeine buzz from tea feels different than from coffee? Its not just the amount. Also, coffee and tea are tasty and come with a ritual that in my opinion is just as important as the drug itself. Pulling a shot of espresso and sipping on it does more for me in the morning than just chugging something caffeinated. And you can control the amount of caffeine you get to a certain degree. Most Arabica coffee contains close to 0.5%-1% caffeine by weight after roasting, so I know my shot of espresso made with 18g of beans is going to be a little under 130mg of caffeine on average accounting for less than perfect extraction.
At that point you could just take some amphetamines if you don’t want to drink coffee.
I do and it’s why I can’t drink coffee 😭

Coffee is a very good source of fiber, which protects against aging, while the drug caffeine does nothing.
My teeth are never stained.
Coffee is delicious.
So wrong on every point.
Fiber?
I just did a quick search for coffee nutrition facts, and all resources say 0g of fiber
Assuming you’re using a paper filter, only water soluble particulates will end up in the coffee
And, water soluble fiber tends to be a thickening agent (porridge, Psyllium husk)
On what plane of existence is coffee a good source of fiber?
“0.47 to 0.75 grams”. The daily recommendation for fiber is 25 to 30 grams. You’re better off with a caffeine pill and some oatmeal.
Per 100 mL. Most people drink 300-500 mL, and many people get fewer than 15g of fiber daily. 3-4g of fiber is nothing to scoff at. It’s a good daily habit.
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?

I’M SO EXCITED! uncontrollable sobbing
That shit was supposed to be speed (amphetamines), but it got censored 😭
Not every way. Coffee is better:
Coffee tastes good.
Coffee is reasonably healthy, it’s a food not a pill.
Coffee is nice to relax with friends, it’s overall a pleasant experience.
On dose only, I agree. But why be efficient about eating and drinking? That doesn’t seem like a reasonable goal. I want to be inefficient about that. Stop and relax.
coffee tastes good with sugar, pills are better, not everyone likes pleasantries.
