Sure it factors. That's why pills help during the withdrawal, because they don't trigger the full pleasure ritual, which includes taste, smell and anticipation.
But note that every ounce of pleasure you extract from drinking coffee is exactly balanced by the pain of withdrawing from it.
(And, in between, successive cups do not generate additive quantities of pleasure.)
It's a dilemma. I love the taste of coffee, and some things just don't taste right without it. On the other hand, drinking coffee means being addicted, and being addicted often means drinking really, really bad coffee if it's the only caffeine available.
Or am I speaking like a true addict?
I have a particular appreciation for a well brewed cup of coffee, without it, the day simply isn't going to go right.
