Because I'm not a faggot and have amphetamines instead.

>>15523238
It makes me feel jittery. I don't know why but coffee gives me energy without the jitteriness

>>15523238
Coffee tastes good

>>15523238
its the act of drinking it too thats important for people. the act of it is so strong its become a social thing. kinda like when you feel weird not holding a cup at a party..or maybe thats just me

>>15523238
I drink tea, and coffee be free, so that too. Pills release steadily and it's nice.

>>15523238
Because people don't drink coffee for just the caffeine. They are addicted to the taste from the sugar and the caffeine is an added addiction that makes it hard to stop and causes withdrawals. The same addiction happens with fast food.

>>15523238
I drink it black and pretend it's whisky to work like our forefathers.

>>15523254
It's because It's concentrated whereas coffee is diluted with water and takes longer to funnel through your system. A caffeine pill hits your stomach all at once in conparison.

Runa is the patrician choice, no sugar, no sweetener

>>15523254
placebo

>>15523255
lmao

Also coffee tastes like shit unless it's a dessert flavor

>>15523255
This

>>15523238
Coffee has been shown to have numerous health benefits that were unable to be replicated with caffeine alone.

Most recent being from Oxford medical demonstrating that it raises free testosterone and lowers estradiol in men. You don't want to be a soiboy, right? Then drink your coffee.

Caffeine has no benefits once you take it regularly

>>15523304
False

>>15523327
True

>>15523238
Retarded pill popping americans

>>15523335
I mean I ger regular stimulant usage might bring you below baseline but it still wakes you up initial dose. I won't argue against habitual usage as I used to have an Adderall problem

>>15523412
>I get*

>>15523412
>>15523417
I meant you saying his post was false is correct

>>15523238
Coffee doesnt equal caffiene.
If it were that simple we would get our daily intake of nutrition from vitamin tablets.

Coffee is a complex blend including antioxidants, phytochemicals, flavanoids (which may or may not be slightly psychoactive) and psychoactive alkaloids such as harmala, caffiene and there was another one I'm forgetting.

OP is a faggot

>>15523656
>harmala
Just remembered, coffee is a very very minor maoi inhibitor. So it inhibits the enzymes breaking down your dopamine, serotonin, phenylthylamine. Very very light inhibition, not on par with an antidepressant but has subtle qualities of one. Making coffee addictive and feel good.

>>15523412
>it still wakes you up initial dose
It only removes the effects of caffeine withdrawal. You gain no benefit from it

>>15523238
because coffee is natural caffeine, and doesn't go straight to you head and wear out after an hour

>>15523677
Caffeine antagonizes adenosine helping you feel more awake. It also leads to the release of your fight/flight hormones and dopamine. Use it enough and you develop a bit of tolerance.
This is like saying alcohol doesn’t do anything

>>15523254

take it with l-theanine then

Because coffee is rich in antioxidants and is actually healthy in moderate doses and the caffeine isnt high enough to fuck you up if you just have one or two

>>15523254
It’s the MAOI’s, specifically the harmala alkaloids. Look it up

>>15523254
you described overdosing

>>15523238
I do take them, but I also drink coffee for the taste, the option to deliver caffeine gradually and also when I am fasting (so the gel cap doesn't break my fast).

>>15523243

OOH, that's FUCKING WONDERFUL after Ive just been hospitalized for caffeine overdose.

>>15523243

>>15523681
coffee was lasting a half hour tops when i was drinking 5/6 cups a day

>>15523238
Maybe, just maybe, it has to do with the fact that you can sit down in a coffee shop and have social interactions over a cup of coffee? Also have you considered some people like the taste of coffee?

>>15524325
This.

1. Social interaction
2. Addiction
3. and 4. Due to boredom especially at work and taste is one of the last things.

>>15523243
My faggot doctor put on my medical record that I purchased aderal without a prescription so every time I go adderal is listed as an allergy. The doctor was Russian so I thought he was based. He must have been a Russian jew ffs

>>15524361
why do literal 13 year olds post here

>>15523238

Because coffee has lots of antioxidants and vitamins as well. Caffeine pills lack all the nutrients.

>>15523260
Who is such a faggot to put sugar in their coffee? What the fuck? Just drink energy drinks then or something

>>15523260
>coffee with sugar
What a fucking pussy

Buy power with no fillers and mix it with water

>>15524136
I used to take Ritalin, not as good but it will wake you up. I abused it at work to the point where I had to stop. I didn't tell my doctor so I have a shiiiiit ton now.

Studies paid for by Starbucks, goyim

I enjoy the ritual of making and sipping my morning cup(s). Coffee tastes good.

>>15524128
>t. the guy from 2 years ago who took ~5-7g coffein powder instead of his PWO ?

>>15523292
Kek who financed those studies brainlet

>>15523238
the purpose is to taste it u faggot nigger op

>>15523238
>Why does everyone drink coffee when they can pop a caffeine pill?

Why does someone eat an Angus steak and a baked potato when they could have a protein shake instead?

These are stupid questions.

>>15523238
caffeine hurts you more than coffee. all benefits ascribed to caffeine are actually dependent on how it's consumed: via coffee or tea. pills and energy drinks tend to be harmful.

>>15523238
I buy value sized Walmart coffee. It tastes good and makes 380 cups for $9 or less if there's a sale. Usually it lasts long enough so you can wait and always buy it on sale.

>>15523238
I take pre workouts before studying

been taking these while i wait on my addy, too much coffee can give me heart burn sometimes and pills are just convenient, especially in 100 degree weather, cost effective

>>15523243
Same. But taking too much can really fuck up your health. They dry you out like crazy. Plus, you have to be picky about the type and manufacturer. Impurities can have a drastic effect on your crash.

>>15525968
teva is the best generic

>>15524361
Never have kids.

>>15523238
coffee has tons of anti-oxidants and other benefits along with the caffeine

plus coffee is better than any other drink for cleaning out your system on the poop throne

>>15523238
I thought the same, but real coffee (not instant) has much better effects than caffeine. There are other substances.
It's the same with tobacco and nicotine.

>>15523238
Coffee contains polyphenols which are good for your health.
A caffeine pill doesn't feel the same, it has less of a mood boost effect.

>>15523238
Can't waste 5 minutes taking a pill.

Take the Mate people instead

>>15526912
>>15526902
what about decaf coffee bean self grinded?

does the de-caf process fucks more with the beans?

>>15523238
I take half a caffeine pill every morning, 100mg. Used to take 200mg but it would sometimes give me the jitters. I'll take the other half throughout the day if I feel like it. They're also good for pre workouts but I don't like taking more than 200mg in a day, I don't workout as much as I used to but I used to take 200mg waking up and 200mg pre workout and sessions were really great... but you inevitably grow tolerance and burn out. I switched over to those because it's a lot more convenient and regular coffee would give me the worst bowel movements and liquid shit, I already have digestive issues without the coffee making it worse. I know some people will say they love the coffee shits because it's part of their routine but to me it always felt like an inconvenience. I'll just drink tea or hot chocolate if I want a hot comfy beverage during the colder seasons, but during summer I just crave cold fruit juice for breakfast. Also pills are better for your teeth/breath, and no sugar.

>>15525197


No, that wasn't me.

>>15523243
based.

>>15523238
Based and caffeine pilled

>>15526971
who is she?

>>15523238
why does everyone fuck when they can pop a fuck pill?

i have a bottle of these sitting in front of me. they're p goog

>>15523238
because coffee gives me the morning shits, and my day at work hasn't started until i've had my coffee and had a 20 minutes shit before i start wagecucking

>>15523238
When it comes to cognitive enhancements and alertness, Nicotine>caffeine. Lozenges and gum are unironically a godsend if you need to focus. If you're just trying not to fall asleep, caffeine is fine, but that's basically the only useful thing.

coffee?
have you heard of yerba mate?

>>15523656
Theobromine

>>15524866
Where do you live? I'll buy it from you...

>>15528540
based and jetpilled

>>15527430
I never noticed any problem with it.

>>15523238
I had a professor who once got her stomach pumped because she would pop caffeine pills.

Let's see, why drink coffee?
1. It helps you poop
2. It's full of anti oxidents
3. It's a lot more pleasant then swallowing a pill

>>15525968
>impurities make the pharmacy pill I'm taking change into a different molecule

>>15524465
>>15524792
>liking sugar in coffee means you're not tough

Coffee tastes good and helps facilitate a nice morning poop.

And it’s impossible to die from overdosing when take this way.

>>15523238

Coffee has a whole host of benefits and physiologically active compounds. It's a powerful antioxidant and is hepatoprotective, and in the amounts that regular coffee drinkers consume, scientists unequivocally describe it as healthy for cardiovascular health. It has mild monoamine oxidase inhibition, which gives it its other energizing traits. And it's delicious and gives you pleasure just to drink. It is an excuse to spend time with people or meet someone for a date.

Honestly the deeply human and sensual side of coffee is part of what makes it a culturally important brew. It's special, and ritualized; there is a huge dynamic of socializing surrounding it. Your post is the exact distillation of the social problems people have on 4chan. Believing people and life should be rational, consuming things in isolation away from other people, in its most purified extract, devoid of all the sensory pleasure in the coffee brew that you view as extraneous. And it's sad because at that level you don't even understand the chemistry of coffee, and that caffeine is hardly what makes it distinctively energizing for most people.

Just buy a huge bag of unground coffee beans, a cheap grinder, and a french press. You will be happier. You won't have to try to think for yourself and get it wrong like you have in this post.

>>15523238
>Why does everyone drink coffee when they can pop a caffeine pill?
because there are a ton of antioxidants in coffee that are good for your brain aside from the caffeine. coffee is literally one of the healthiest things you can drink.

>>15532002
Every argument you make basically boils down to muh feefees

People drink coffee for the caffeine, and there are much cheaper and more convenient ways of obtaining caffeine than actually drinking shitty brown water.

>>15524361
you're the retard for telling him that

>>15532928
>stop liking what I don’t like
Keep up the high quality posts buddy

>>15533081
This, OBVIOUSLY this, Jesus fuck.
You made a mistake, move on. My docs had me as a smoker for years because I did say I smoked weed back then. Dumb move, but I needed help and I thought the psychiatrist should know that shit.

>>15523238
I only like cold coffee stuff. Could never get into warm coffee

doesn’t yerba mate give you cancer?

>>15525639
Pre-workouts are the way to go. The itchy skin also feels good

>>15533401
beta-alanin is the stuff responsible for the itchy skin
oh boy sometimes it's horrible

>>15532928
>People drink coffee for the caffeine
coffee tastes great, done right
I even switched to decaf to not get that much coffein.

>>15523238
I took caffeine pills for a few months when I was in college. Pills and water, every morning. Much more efficient for sure. Less enjoyable though. When you've acclimated to the taste coffee is great.

>>15533338
You never want to drink boiling mate, yeah. Not only cause there will be negative repercussions health wise but cause the entire process will be worthless, the mate leaves will burn and not produce anything worth consuming, green tea is similar in that matter.

The temperature could act by damaging the mucosa or accelerating metabolic reactions, including those with carcinogenic substances in tobacco and alcohol. However, there is no sound population-based case-control study on mate consumption as a risk factor for cancer.

tldr; dont pour boiling watter into your vessel to not the mate leaves (and yourself), and even then we cant really say if there is really any huge risks you should worry about.
