Can coffee cause irritability?
It is possible, but whether coffee brings on irritability is specific to you. There is surprisingly little research on this exact connection, and coffee affects irritability in some people and not in others. The only reliable way to know your own answer is to track coffee and irritability together for two to three weeks and look for the pattern in your own data.
Why there's no one-size answer
What shapes how you feel has obviously not been studied, but more important, many combinations of things have simply not risen to the level of attention in scholarly research that is needed to say with certainty how they are related. Bodies differ. Coffee might affect irritability for another person and do nothing to you. The only data that settles it is your own.
How to find out for yourself
