coffee addiction

Brewing becomes compulsory

A colloquial term for habitual dependence on coffee, characterized by daily consumption and withdrawal symptoms like headaches or fatigue when caffeine is withheld.

The phrase is usually lighthearted rather than clinical: I'm not ashamed of my coffee addiction.

Unlike medical addiction, it rarely carries serious social consequences, though the physical dependence is real.
