People that drink coffee for the caffeine, why don't you just take caffeine pills?

I googled this and still don't get it. Can you elaborate?

Controlling your dose

When you titrate something, you're controlling how much of something you add to get the desired effect. A sip of coffee is a very small amount of caffeine, you'll slowly add caffeine to your system throughout the cup. A single caffeine pill is like drinking an entire cup in one swig.
