coffeeholic

Espresso-obsessed person daily

A coffeeholic is someone with an excessive fondness for coffee, often humorously suggesting addiction.

The word follows the pattern of alcoholic, with the -holic suffix detached to create informal terms for any obsessive habit or craving.

I'm such a coffeeholic that I can't function before my third cup.

The term is lighthearted rather than clinical, used by coffee enthusiasts to acknowledge their dependence on the beverage.
