Unpopular Opinion

Definitely an unpopular opinion

However, it's also a poorly built and expressed opinion.

Your title states every way, but you didn't cover all the options. You didn't include how pills taste better, smell better, enhance other foods, have beneficial antioxidants (though the jury is out on how useful that actually is), or that it provides a warm/hot beverage for comfort in cold environments.

Now, if you had titled it that the pills are more efficient than coffee at getting a caffeine dose, you'd be well on your way to a damn well constructed opinion. But you claimed it makes more sense in every way possible.

Which, I get it; it's hyperbole. Everyone indulges in a nice cup of hyperbole now and then, particularly when trying to construct a post for this community. Just saying that it weakens the opinion in any serious discussion.

As an addendum, caffeine pills aren't a great choice for everyone to begin with. A more concentrated dose that's absorbed differently changes how it ramps up and the levels of it in the blood over time. So, be careful with them. There's stuff like IBS where the pills can be worse than coffee for individuals as well.

It's also easier to take too many pills than it is to drink too much coffee because drinking coffee for the caffeine is limited by how much your stomach can hold, and you'll run into barriers as the coffee intake rises too fast, with the stomach rebelling being the most obvious one. So, even if you take in the exact same dose of caffeine, the fact that its taken in slower when not outright chugging coffee, gives you a buffer in how it hits your body.
