- 2, 3, 4 You really think drinking coffee is about caffeine? What’s next, you should eat sugar instead of drinking soda?
It’s not unpopular, it’s being ignorant.
Take my mocha away and there will be trouble. Lol

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.
Not everyone uses sugar.
“Better” is subjectivefair
Coffee tastes worse with sugar, black is better.
If you’re only interested in the energy/wakefulness then you’re better off quitting caffeine altogether. The energy a regular user gets from caffeine is just the alleviation of withdrawal symptoms.
Caffeine pills are the functionally superior caffeine delivery solution, but when pleasure is taken into account, they fall short.
I don’t just drink coffee for the caffeine delivery, I also like how it tastes, and I value the social ritual around coffee.
I love the smell of coffee more than the taste.
And if the aromatherapy industry is any indication, we humans really like to smell things that were like
I think coffee just generally smells better than it tastes.
It still tastes good, but I would rather drink that smell for sure
If coffee doesn’t taste like it smells, you need better coffee
Not at all, I get freshly roasted specialty coffee ordered in small batches from a local roaster, and it tastes amazing.
Still, the smell is decidedly more pleasant, probably because you don’t really smell the bitter part of coffee, which while not at all overwhelming in the coffee I drink, is still decidedly a note.
Fair enough. But your coffee probably does taste like other people’s coffee smells
Just say you don’t like coffee and go take your pills mate some of us enjoy the flavor of the beverage

People downvoting seem to have forgotten this unpopular opinions.
I love the taste of coffee and it’s the only thing I drink other than water. It’s not just about caffeine intake and happily drink decaf along with 2 regular coffees.
Counterpoint: the ratio of downvotes to upvotes indicates that it is an unpopular opinion

I’m downvoting because it’s not an unpopular opinion. It isn’t even an opinion.
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.
Then there’s the potential real health benefits of drinking tea or coffee as well.
Yeah there may be, but to be honest I would do it regardless. Also I feel like I see studies going one way then the other pretty frequently and thats not why I do. I just love it.
People get caffeine buzz from tea? How much do you drink? I will have a cup of black tea sometimes in the morning but I swear I can’t feel anything after.
I haven’t in years, but I used to as a kid or as a young adult when I would drink 3-4 cups in a row. I also don’t get a caffeine buzz from anything anymore. I can only feel it when I have way too much or too little. But a lot of tea has more caffeine than coffee by weight, just has a much larger content variation, so it depends what kind, where it was grown, the conditions, how it was processed, etc. The L-theanine in tea also dampens the stimmy caffeine effects a good bit.

take caffeine pills. lolDoes pfizer make a viagra with caffeine?
Drinking Everclear makes more sense than having a beer.
Situationally yeah if you are counting calories and don’t like the taste of beer.
Have someone jet wash your skin makes more sense than having a shower
Here to say that people need to up vote OP more. They actually posted an unpopular opinion.

I’M SO EXCITED! uncontrollable sobbing
That shit was supposed to be speed (amphetamines), but it got censored 😭
By the same logic, Soylent is better than food…
Except you’re forgetting that it’s about the enjoyment of the whole experience, not just getting caffeine into your body as efficiently as possible. That would be an IV drip.
edit: I’ve just realised where I am. Well played, excellent content, 10/10, take your upvote
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 have my suspicions about how they calculated that and there was a bit in there about how freeze-dried coffee has the most fiber in it. I think it is much less than they are claiming for most of the preparations that people usually consume. Don’t get me wrong, there are definite social and ritual aspects to coffee that aren’t replaceable, but this trend of trying to insist that everything has some kind of physiological health benefit is seriously misguided. If you want a hot drink with actual proven health benefits, plain green tea without sugar or milk or anything is your best bet.
