caffeine addicts
Morning brew slaves
People who feel dependent on caffeine—typically from coffee, tea, or energy drinks—to function normally.
The term is usually casual or self-deprecating rather than clinical: I'm a caffeine addict; don't talk to me before my morning coffee.
True physical dependence on caffeine exists but is mild compared to other substances.
