Being a mild stimulant, it is generally harmless and can be found as an active ingredient in many prescription medications in order to boost their effectiveness.
The energizing effect of caffeine is the main reason that 58% of U.S. consumers drink coffee in the first place.

In Summary
You can reduce your caffeine intake by:
- Using Arabica coffee beans
- Using darker roasted beans if possible. However, if you don’t like their taste, you can stick with light/medium roasts since the caffeine difference is minimal.
- Using brewing methods that use larger coffee grounds.
- Reducing the serving size of your coffee.
- Choosing a coffee drink type that contains lower caffeine concentrations relative to its volume.
- Drinking decaffeinated coffee.
