I gave up coffee a few years ago and never looked back. As a minimalist, being able to go without it was very satisfying. I replaced it with a cup of hot distilled water, and I love it. There's a water cure book floating around this forum somewhere about drinking hot water with meals or between meals I can't remember which, but hot water works for me.
Once you put your mind to it that hot water is your "brain activating, wake me up" drink, you'll see it does just that.
