> Some of the energy thing is related to dehydration I suspect - if I drink more water over the day it has same effect as stopping coffee

For me, that was the majority of it. I've settled on a 1:1 ratio. Drink a cup of coffee, then a full cup of water before I have another coffee.

When I wake up I pour 12oz of water into the electric kettle. I use a French press. And I chug 12 oz+ of water.

Lack of hydrating is probably my worst bad habit.

By far the best tip I ever got from /r/LifeProTips was "drink two cups of water first thing in the morning". Makes a huge difference for my energy levels and likelihood of getting a headache.
