It can lead to drinking too much and thus dependence.
Doing a reset to nothing or to the middle ground of matcha can eliminate or reduce that dependence.

I do get the addiction part, guess I never felt addicted to it.
Can one be addicted to things that don't harm your health or your daily life – like water?
Yes, addiction is not limited to substances that actually promotes physical urges but can be purely psychological and therefore humans can be addicted to almost everything.
To be honest, the urge to consume unholy amounts of water are most likely the result of kidney issues.
addiction is different from dependence and not what lyn is referring to here. she is specifically talking about the way her body feels if she were *not* to drink coffee. if she starts feeling bad, that means her body became dependent on coffee to function normally. If then that feeling leads to an urge to consume more coffee, or if there is an urge even without that feeling, then *that* is addiction
Try not drinking coffee for a week
i recently tried the matcha route... really quite nice once I got used to it
