    1. Coffee smells good
    2. Coffee tastes good
    3. Coffee is warm and comforting
    4. Coffee is more socially acceptable than popping pills
    5. Caffeine pills are somewhat harder to find. I can’t order them at a restaurant.

    Edit: I’ll point out that you’ll rarely find someone who only drinks coffee for the caffeine. For many (most?) it’s just a perk, or even an unfortunate side-effect, hence the popularity of decaffeinated coffee.

      caffeine pills are easier to find. they come in the hundreds and then they’re just in your bag or coat or whatever.

      essential for travel in my opinion. no running around in the morning trying to find a good coffee or suffering through the awful hotel room coffee maker.

      A good cup of coffee is better than the pill, but often the pill is better than the coffee that is around and readily available
