    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

            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.

    One important difference about price: my job has free coffee in every break room. They do not offer free caffeine pills.

    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.

    Sure, if your goal is literally just to get a dose of caffeine. Some people actually like the taste and experience of drinking it in liquid form.

    • 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.

    Every possible way? How about the fact that I drink coffee for the taste and ritual - not for the caffeine.

        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!

    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.

    Meh, I travel a fair bit, and go hiking quite a lot, and keep a little pouch with a bunch of essentials in it, in my bag. Among those things are some caffeine pills. They’re light, cheap, and easily accessible when I need them.

    I was never a coffee fan, but I do drink tea, and sometimes that experience is just plainly more pleasant than popping a pill.
