Many recent studies found coffee is healthy as fuck:

Some folks think it means Starbucks is good. NOPE.
Starbucks isn’t coffee. It’s actually trash:
Real coffee is this:
Also:
-
Tea is also great and healthy. Tea is not addictive.
-
If you drink coffee, avoid it after 11:AM. Seriously.
i don’t think caffeine is healthy.
Worst part is the addiction/tolerance.
Waking up every day feeling like dead meat until that first sip then chasing that all day but it never is as nice as just not drinking that crap.
But if you’re used to it, many say it’s even emotionally supportive. True addiction territory.
Caffeine is an addictive substance.
If you are used to drinking coffee and don’t have your daily dose, you will feel terrible. Some people are very sensitive to caffeine and may experience anxiety.
I’m a caffeine addict so I’m biased here. I should perhaps reduce my coffee intake and switch to tea. I just can’t get my self to do it.
However, studies found coffee isn’t actually a dangerous addiction:

I would definitely not post this if coffee was dangerous.
Do you want to give up caffeine? If you do, you can do it. I did it. Took me about eight months. I feel better now, no “don’t talk to me before I’ve had my coffee”, no 3pm slump. But that was my choice, and as addictions go, I don’t know if it’s really that bad?
No study on caffeine wants to acknowledge the elephant in the room: Half the population has undiagnosed ADHD, and people use caffeine to self-medicate, usually unaware of why they are doing it.
Fair enough. There is evidence that coffeine can increase anxiety.

I would love to switch to tea. I just love the taste of black coffee.
i have some friends who got us some tea that they say tastes like coffee.
it’s awful but maybe you’ll like it?
You could try half-caf. I’ve found some good decaf coffee since I’ve effectively quit caffeine (in major doses, as I’m aware decaf still has SOME).
In case you think about switching to tea to avoid caffeine, you should know tea still has caffeine in it.
