Fair points on the downsides! Like most things in life, coffee’s about risk/reward and personal tolerance. Quality matters…single origin, organic beans help with the mold/pesticide concerns. Timing matters too for sleep. Appreciate the balanced perspective. Nothing’s ever completely free of trade-offs.

Yes it’s all tradeoffs. I used to be addicted to coffee. Was able to get off it for good. Started drinking again recently. Skipped one day and felt off. Not terribly off because I don’t drink it as much as I used to but it is annoying to develop a dependency.
