I think this is bogus, or only applies to certain people. I've been drinking 1-2 cups of coffee every morning for years. I have not built up a tolerance to it. I can definitely tell when the caffeine is kicking in. It still stimulates me the same way it did when I first started drinking it years ago. It always takes me above my "baseline level of alertness".

Sometimes I wonder if coffee has as much of a psychological effect as it does a physiological one. Perhaps the thought of, "the best part of waking up, is Folger's in your cup", is just that. The mental acknowledgement that you are drinking coffee. Look at the power of placebos. You think you are taking an aspirin, therefore your mind allows you to feel the effects. Maybe the same with coffee, in the sense that it is not the coffee the makes you feel good, but your mind.

LONDON (Reuters) – Caffeine addiction is such a downer that regular coffee drinkers may get no real pick-me-up from their morning cup, according to a study by British scientists.
You know, I have always felt that coffee becomes a crutch with excessive consumption, plus I think it tastes really bad.
