- Drinking Coffee stains teeth.

- 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.
Here to say that people need to up vote OP more. They actually posted an unpopular opinion.
One important difference about price: my job has free coffee in every break room. They do not offer free caffeine pills.
Just say you don’t like coffee and go take your pills mate some of us enjoy the flavor of the beverage
Meh, I travel a fair bit, and go hiking quite a lot, and keep a little pouch with a bunch of essentials in it. 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.
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.
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.
You’re not supposed to eat the grounds…
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.
Can’t dip no cookies into a pill, and that’s a fact, Jack
I drink decaf. Where’s your god now?
Teas contains more psychoactive ingredients than just caffeine, including some with stabilizing effects to knock down that jittery unpleasant part. Broad spectrum stimulants are better than straight caffeine.
Every possible way? How about the fact that I drink coffee for the taste and ritual - not for the caffeine.
Every. Possible. Way.
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!
Do you just take vitamin pills instead of eating food to get nutrients?
I love going on a date with a woman to
*checks notes*
take caffeine pills. lolSure, 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.
TIL
- 1 Not mine
- 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
You miss out on all the phytonutrients.
This is all true, but thankfully tea exists which is both caffeinated and unlike coffee doesn’t taste like somebody already digested it.
