Does the coffee actually do anything?

[tyleulen007]

Or is it a placebo? I haven't noticed it affecting anything, but I also haven't been using it much because of that. It probably does something right? Otherwise why would I be able to collect coffee boxes to use more coffee?

[schrodinger_s_kitten]

it really just gives you more momentum :) you don't need it if you don't wanna use it; I gave up on it after I couldn't understand how to use it iirc it primarily affects your hand pumps

Its really useful at later stages when your speedrunning or if your not really good at the game for the bigger jumps

It's a momentum boost. Boosts the strength of your pull-ups, swings and crampon jumps.

Not actually necessary, as every jump in the game is, theoretically, possible without coffee. Furthermore, I often find myself having to go to the effort of cancelling it out afterwards. Minor, I know, but quite the bother when you're in that climbing flow state.

It doesn't actually affect crampons, just arm strength!
