All the acidity breaks down your tooth enamel of course
Coffee isn't very acidic. It's around pH 5. Enamal is damaged by anything less than 5.5, so coffee is bad, but not very.

literally me but with tea
I have a friend who pretty much drinks nothing but tea. No water, coffee, alcohol, soft drinks etc. And he does get his 2-3 litres of fluids per day in like that.
You drink 2-3 liters of water a day? That sounds like alot.
Im in the alps, so I have the privilege of having access to virtually free and safe to drink, but also tasty. It's the cheapest, easiest way to do something good for my health, so i do it. 2-3 litres is usually the recommendation i see and hear everywhere.
Tbh I sometimes drink close to 4 litres, i have to watch my electrolytes more than anything.

... caffeinated tea? Is he not dead? That's like, 500 mg after a short Google search.
Tea doesn't have that much usable caffein if you let it steep longer than maybe 3 minutes. Also, we don't know how diluted the tea is.
is he not dead
He's doing great. He's Irish (as in, born, raised, and living in Ireland), I think it's pretty normal over there

So that’s the biggest benefit of Keurig machines. Since they only dispense specific measured quantities, each cup is the same size
Edit- autocorrect
As much as I like at some time before 14:00 'o clock and then none.
Caffeine has about 8hrs half-life and blocks a few key receptors in the brain, so it will only mask the tiredness you build up over the day.

Doesn't having 2 or 3 cups a day, actually a good thing?
If you filter coffee through a paper filter then there are negligible health benefits to drinking coffee which are probably more than offset by the caffeine.
If you don’t filter it through a paper filter then the cafestol probably negates the benefits before you have to weigh them against the negatives of the caffeine.
Could you be more specific about the negligible health benefits of coffee and the downsides of caffeine? As a regular coffee drinker, I've done some searching to try and gauge the long-term risks of consuming ~100-200mg of caffeine per day, and couldn't really find anything. The medical sources I've seen basically say the long term risk is practically non-existent unless you have a specific sensitivity to caffeine, but I'm curious if you've seen something different.
It's linked to increased blood pressure, increased risk of heart disease, kidney problems, etc, but as you mention there's not anything rock solid and there's also relatively recent studies that show positive effects.
For people that intake less than 400mg a day.
That's the tricky bit. Do you know how many mgs of caffeine you take in on a daily basis?
Right, yeah that's sort of the conclusion I've reached - sort of a "correlation may not imply causation" type situation.
I drink one 300g cup of coffee a day, except on very rare instances where I'll have like two or three cups in a day. My average daily caffeine intake is probably around ~100mg, which is well under any demonstrably dangerous limits that I've seen.
I’m not a doctor nor am I an expert, so hopefully not being taken as an authoritative source here, but my understanding is similar to yours regarding caffeine.
What about decaf coffee?
I only play a doctor on TV, but in my professional opinion it grows hair on your teeth.
Hopefully the color will match the color of the hair on my palm that grew from masturbating
Pretty sure that is the cause of cancer
I think you mean the cancer
Yes, but 4-6 cups seems to be a better thing.
Yes but 6-∞ Is better
I HAVENT SLEPT IN DAYS WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES ALL I SEE IS ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE. I NEED MY DIRTY BEAN WATER!!
Yup
