I think they don't drink their coffee for taste, but to get good caffeine high.

If that's true why don't they just carry a little bag of caffeine pills, rather than lugging this machine around?

Because coffee has other chemicals as well - to help with digestion for example and also high just from the pills is too rough. Furthermore you can't eat the pill for 10 minutes, so coffee is a good excuse for having a break.

Because if you're popping pills you've got a problem.

Could be worse - there are people who crush the pills and snort them...
