- 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.
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.
And we should just get rid of sex, all insemination should be done in a lab because it’s much easier.
Here to say that people need to up vote OP more. They actually posted an unpopular opinion.
Just say you don’t like coffee and go take your pills mate some of us enjoy the flavor of the beverage
One important difference about price: my job has free coffee in every break room. They do not offer free caffeine pills.
I would probably still brew decaf coffee to go with them for the taste and smell.
4, yes you can, haven’t you never heard of measures? Or do you just not know how to do math in your head based on how much you’ve had?
Volumetric dosing is more accurate than crumbs of pills, as long as you have a homogeneous solution and know it’s strength.
3 swallowing pills is more boring and most people like a liquid to go with it, so you’re gonna have to have a drink anyway
2 that depends a ton on the coffee and where you’re buying caffeine pills from
1 practice dental hygiene and moderation of consumption.
If you’re doing it just for the caffeine, you have a caffeine addiction. For me, I drink coffee because I enjoy it. The caffeine I can take or leave, and often do.
This year I’ve enjoyed every single cup of coffee I’ve had; all three of them.
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
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 😭
(They’re prescribed dw)
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.
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.
You’re not supposed to eat the grounds…
Can’t dip no cookies into a pill, and that’s a fact, Jack
I drink decaf. Where’s your god now?
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.
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
