I don't drink coffee because I need the caffeine. I drink coffee because I like the taste. There is an addiction component. I've given it up in the past and had the two week headache that wouldn't go away. But if good coffee isn't available, I will go without.

Andrew Huberman brought up that caffeine can bias individual's preference of beverages, though I haven't looked into related research papers.

I had to give up caffeine for health reasons. My energy level returned to normal after a few months, but man do I miss the taste (decaf still has some caffeine).
