For me, coffee is more about the routine and the enjoyment of the delicious hot beverage.
If I'm not in the mood for coffee, i don't even think twice about having juice or water instead.
In the morning, I do not notice significant differences in my thought processes and work functions on days with or without. I typically drink 16-20 oz of coffee in the mornings.
However, if I have more than 1 cup of coffee after 7pm at night, most of the time I do find it harder to fall asleep.
I first started drinking coffee working the graveyard shift, where my coworker would make the pot before I got to work, and pour me a cup when he got his. So I had coffee waiting for me when I got in, and it became our routine. Now, I work normal hours but love coffee for the coffee.
