I started getting migraines in the 1960s. Thanks for the link.

While a cup of coffee often helped me feel better in years past, I've found eliminating coffee from my diet has reduced my headache frequency. Triptans help when I get the occasional headache now.

I was disappointed that the article didn't talk about the variety of migraine manifestations. Some of the manifestations can be confused with transient ischemic attacks.

Decaffinated coffee is getting better and better every year; that could be a way for you to keep enjoying its benefits (mostly unrelated to caffeine) without the drawbacks.
