So far, the only chemical processes involved that have been identified are due to caffeine. Caffeine slows the rate of dopamine reabsorption, which allows the dopamine to activate pleasure centers in the brain more. This occurs through much the same mechanism as heroin's and cocaine's, albeit with far less of an effect. Caffeine also affects endorphin levels and stimulates the same endogenous neurotransmitter system that marijuana does.

The key to coffee is that its caffeine content is dramatically greater than that of most other normal beverages/foods (can be double or triple that of coca cola).

Furthermore, I suppose that there's a mental association of coffee with warmth (comfort, safety, protection), sweetness, and general alertness (being upbeat, excited). The more ritualistic you are with how you drink your coffee, the more the familiarity will make you like it.

Coffee is one of the best inventions ever created. Seriously, coffee just seems to make everyone happier and that is a fact! In a recent study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, coffee can help people to have a more positive life.

So, how does coffee do this? Well, caffeine that is found in coffee can provide the same effects as a mild anti depressant because caffeine can reach almost every known reward system in the brain. In addition, the study suggested that coffee stimulates the release of neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain, thus leading to this spark of happiness when we sip a cup of coffee. Also, many people drink coffee with friends as a way to relax, catch up, and socialize. Coffee makes for a great “excuse” to take a break, treat yourself, and get rejuvenated.

If you think about it, when you drink coffee, there’s this rush of adrenaline that flows throughout the body that makes you feel tingly on the inside; it’s sort of magical. After that cup of coffee is finished, there’s this sense of urgency and energy and motivation to get things done. Sometimes I wonder how I would be able to function without coffee.

The next time you’re looking for a jump start to your morning, an afternoon pick-me-up, or just a spot to hang out with friends, visit THE MARKET AT THE FAREWAY in Chestnut Hill Philadelphia and grab yourself a cup of coffee from Poppy’s Cafe to become more energized!

We all remember that first cup of coffee; it tasted terrible. It was too hot, too bitter and too sweet but it offered the promise of alertness after a night of poor sleep.

The wonderful thing about coffee is that it delivered on its promise every time; subsequently, you've never been able to walk away from it. If you've ever faced giving up on caffeinated coffee to lessen the symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease of the tremors associated with Parkinson's disease you know well the craving that can develop.

Why does this happen?

Two reasons: Scientists have known for many years that coffee stimulates the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine produces the euphoria and pleasant feelings that people often associate with their first cup of coffee in the morning.

Many drugs that produce euphoria, such as cocaine, amphetamine and ecstasy, act upon dopamine in the brain. This action by coffee has always been an adequate explanation for why caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world.

But do we all really just crave more arousal? Is being more aroused enough to explain why for some people coffee is akin to cocaine — they crave it constantly and will work hard to have a supply always at hand?

One of my students decided to test the effects of caffeine on his chronic sleepiness by ingesting a packet of instant coffee, right out of the box. He reported that he enjoyed eating this paper packet of ground coffee so much that he decided to finish off the entire container of 32 packets! Three days later, he stopped having explosive diarrhea and finally fell asleep completely exhausted.

Another of my students claimed to consume two full pots of coffee (equivalent to about 20 cups of coffee!) every morning before coming to class. He indicated that he knew it was time to stop when the tremors in his hands became impossible to control.

These students' experiences remind me of the verses of the French novelist Honore de Balzac: "This coffee plunges into the stomach...the mind is aroused, and ideas pour forth like the battalions of the Grand Army on the field of battle...Memories charge at full gallop...the light cavalry of comparisons deploys itself magnificently; the artillery of logic hurry in with their train of ammunition; flashes of wit pop up like sharp-shooters."

To me, these behaviors suggest a level of addiction that goes beyond the simple enhancement of one neurotransmitter system.

A recent report in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research by a group of scientists from Rome explored the possibility that coffee's addictive properties also involve the brain's marijuana-like neurotransmitter system. [I've previously written about the role of this system in control mood and general brain function; here are the links: A, B, C.] This is how it all seems to work.

When you first started drinking coffee, the arousal was all you wanted and also all that you got. Still, being more attentive and vigilant was all you needed to get through the day.

As you continued drinking coffee, your liver compensated for the additional chemicals in your diet by becoming more efficient at metabolizing the caffeine. Your brain also made some adjustments. Ultimately, you needed more and more coffee each day to achieve the same level of arousal and vigilance.

While all of this was occurring, something else far more mysterious was happening inside your brain; caffeine had begun stimulating your brain's endogenous marijuana neurotransmitter system. These biochemical adjustments introduced an entirely new level of pleasure to your morning cup of java. In addition, it made avoiding that third or fourth cup of coffee even harder to accomplish.

Coffee makes us feel so good because it is able to tap into virtually every reward system our brain has evolved. Hidden within that hot elixir is a chemical that takes over your brain by mimicking the actions of cocaine and marijuana.

It's too late — go ahead and have another cup. I'm going to.
