No one here said one cup a day was excessive lol

I'm saying, for me personally, coffee and other caffinated drinks were not part of my plan to get healthy. I still enjoy those drinks in moderation, typically only in the morning or for a pre-workout, so that way it doesn't potentially affect my mood or sleep schedule in a negative manner.

For other people, they will deal with it in their own way they choose. Every day, every other day, multiple times a day, etc.

However, the fact remains that caffeine is a stimulant, a tool or substance to help you achieve a heightened degree of neurological or psychological activity, and it does affect your serotonin and dopamine levels. For some people, it's no problem. For others, if ignored, it can lead to some problems being exacerbated by other health or lifestyle habits and choices down the road.

I personally don't need caffeine, I prefer to run on my own energy, but it is nice to have a boost here and there, especially when it comes to performance in the gym.

Right but you keep bringing up caffeine and framing coffee in a negative utilitarian light. I originally only mentioned coffee for health benefits. And then some people drink it for the flavor. And decaf is it's own thing as well. Like, I just feel like you're being a little bit disingenuous by saying it's okay but then also implying that its only purpose is for its drug effect and by default needs to be drunk in moderation.
