This is like asking: People who eat food for the calories, why don’t you just eat dry primate food pellets?

Because there’s a big upside to enjoying the experience of drinking coffee with few downsides. If coffee was just caffeine dissolved in water it’d be a very different story

Personally I only care about calories, I’m on board for food pellets if they actually worked and were healthy.

Same. I’d eat dog food if it hit my macros and tasted alright.

You may be a robot in that regard but you’re clearly aware that people enjoy the taste of food and coffee, right?

That’s why I said for the caffeine and not who enjoy coffee.
