    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.

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