I recently went 60 days without coffee and had only one cup of tea or chai a day. Basically my productivity went down. Then one day, out of desperation to get work done, drank a single cup of strong coffee and subsequently had mild insomnia that night, but, my productivity levels went up. I really enjoyed the coffee so I went out and bought some very light trader joe's beans and some decaf. I mix the two. I don't have sleep problems and enjoy my coffee in the morning. I try to not drink coffee on Sunday but I find I have a cup right now while getting some client work done.
This is what I'm afraid of, missing out on potential productivity. There may be a difference between people who stop drinking coffee regularly versus people who never started, but I agree that there is a good balance that can be attained with coffee.
