“I’m curious though as to how people can feel instantly “woken up” when they drink their first cup of coffee, even if the caffeine takes 15min to kick in.”

It’s called classical conditioning. Think Pavlov’s dogs drinking a cup of joe.

Before conditioning:
Smell of coffee —–> Nothing
Caffeine —–> Energy

During conditioning:
Smell of coffee + Caffeine —–> Energy

After conditioning:
Smell of coffee —–> Energy
