The benefits of caffeine are that you have increased energy, feel more awake and alert, and there are studies out there that say there are health benefits as well. If you like green tea, they claim that there are beneficial antioxidants there. Also, it can work as a diuretic, which can help you lose water weight and puffiness.
The cons, well.... you can become jittery, find it hard to sleep at night and have an increased heart rate (if you have too much) and become "caffeine dependant" which just means that you will actually have a sort of "withdrawal" when you don't have enough of it. This can cause headaches. There were studies that suggested that caffeine can actually work against your hydration (because of the diuretic properties) but I believe they've given up on trying to prove that.
Hope that helps a little!

Coffee has been shown to improve brain function, its a good energy booster, it doesn't seem to have any serious negative side effects. I even heard a report on one study that showed it did not even raise blood pressure. There are other sources of caffein but coffee's my favorite source.
