Coffee is LIKELY SAFE for most healthy adults when consumed in moderate amounts (about 4 cups per day). BUT Caffeinated coffee is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth for a long time or in high doses (more than 4 cups per day)
Drinking large amounts of caffeinated coffee might cause headache, anxiety, agitation, ringing in the ears, and irregular heartbeats. Drinking more than 6 cups daily might cause "caffeinism" with symptoms such as anxiety or agitation. Also, people who drink a lot of caffeinated coffee every day may need to drink more coffee to get the same effects. They may also become "dependent" on coffee to the point that they develop withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly stop drinking it.
Dosing is as follows:
For headache or improving mental alertness: The typical dose of caffeine is up to 250 mg per day, which is about 2 cups of coffee. Even a single cup of coffee with caffeine can be used.
For Parkinson disease: Three to four cups of caffeinated coffee per day or 421 mg to 2716 mg total caffeine.

As caffeine is a widely accepted and used drug, many people don't believe caffeine can be addictive.
While most caffeine users feel they enjoy many of the effects of caffeine, like a good "morning boost," they may not be aware of some of the negative effects the drug is having, such as disrupted sleep, irritability, and anxiety. Many people, for example, get into a vicious cycle of drinking coffee to increase energy, only to find themselves both fatigued and unable to relax at bedtime.
Caffeine intoxication and caffeine withdrawal can both be very unpleasant, physically and psychologically.
When coming off caffeine, people often feel very tired and even drowsy. They may have difficulty concentrating, and feel depressed or irritable.
While people often use caffeine to improve mood, excessive caffeine consumption can increase anxiety.
While using caffeine can lead to becoming physically or psychologically dependent on it, it does not have strong enough of an effect on the brain's reward system to result in a true addiction.

It works by blocking the effects of adenosine, a brain chemical that makes you feel tired. At the same time, it triggers the release of adrenaline, the âfight-or-flightâ hormone associated with increased energy (8Trusted Source).
However, at higher doses, these effects may become more pronounced, leading to anxiety and nervousness.
Extremely high daily intakes of 1,000 mg or more per day have been reported to cause nervousness, jitteriness and similar symptoms in most people, whereas even a moderate intake may lead to similar effects in caffeine-sensitive individuals.
One study in 25 healthy men found that those who ingested approximately 300 mg of caffeine experienced more than double the stress of those who took a placebo.
In another study, 213 caffeine users completed questionnaires after going 16 hours without consuming it. Daily users had greater increases in headaches, fatigue and other withdrawal symptoms than non-daily users.

Some people may need to avoid or limit caffeine consumption due to a health condition or individual sensitivity. Certain sensitive groups, such as pregnant women and those with a history of heart attack or high blood pressure, should talk with their healthcare professional about their caffeine consumption to determine the amount that is best for them.

**Conclusion:**
Coffee is culturally accepted, however it wasn't always as muslims thought it had an impact on ones mind and as a result was unacceptable. The above shows that there are health concerns, and the only way these concerns are skirted is by focusing on consumption amounts.
The consumption ammounts vary, but 400mg seems to be an agreed standard as the border line. This is 4 coffees with limited caffine or 1 coffee or so with high caffine. Starbucks et al have high caffine, while the same is likely the case for designer coffee.
Coffee seems to be a slow road in one direction, and that is to build up in ones system. Withdrawal is said to take between 2 to 7 days, this shows that it does linger in ones body and reinforces consumption of itself.
