In general, Buddhism emphasizes the importance of moderation in all things, including the consumption of food and drink. The Buddha taught that indulging in sensual pleasure can lead to suffering and that it is important to be mindful of one’s actions and consequences on oneself and others.
Buddhists should avoid consuming alcohol, tobacco, and other substances that may harm their health or cause negative mental states.
However, whether or not to drink coffee or other foods and beverages is a personal choice that is left up to the individual and may be influenced by various factors, such as cultural and personal preferences, health concerns, and spiritual goals.
Buddhists should not drink coffee and other caffeinated beverages to keep the mind calm and clear. However, some Buddhists believe drinking coffee in moderation has no negative effects on their practice or health.
