Coffee, tea
Coffee and tea are widespread infusion drinks whose stimulating effect rests on the caffeine they contain. At the Kyborg Institute we place them on a personal-energetic level – expressly as a worldview-based view, not as a medical statement.
Caffeine – stimulating and individual
Caffeine works enliveningly and increases wakefulness in the short term. How well one tolerates it is very various: some people react sensitively with restlessness, nervousness or sleep problems, others hardly at all. In usual amounts, coffee counts as harmless for healthy adults.
Our attitude: conscious and moderate
From our point of view, coffee fits well with an often hectic, head-heavy everyday life – and can also strengthen its nervousness. Our personal recommendation is therefore a moderate, conscious enjoyment: rather little and with joy than constantly and driven. Whoever attends to their own energy mostly senses well what agrees with them. This is a worldview-based suggestion, no prescription.
What does that mean in practice?
- Listen to one’s own body – in the case of restlessness or sleep problems, reduce the amount.
- With tea, attend to good quality; herbal teas are often a wholesome alternative.
- Caffeine too is a stimulating substance – see the overview under drugs.

Frequently asked questions
Is coffee harmful?
In usual amounts, coffee counts as harmless for healthy adults. A lot of caffeine can, however, make one restless, nervous or sleepless. How much does good is individual – in case of doubt, clarify with a doctor.
How does the Kyborg Institute see coffee and tea?
We recommend a conscious, moderate dealing: rather little and with enjoyment than constantly and restlessly. This is a personal, worldview-based attitude, no medical recommendation.
What should one attend to with tea?
From our point of view, possible residues from cultivation (e.g. pesticides) are rather a theme than the enjoyment of tea itself. Good quality and herbal teas are often a pleasant alternative.
