Is it okay to microdose while drinking caffeinated beverages?

I know for a full trip I would not take caffeine. It produces mild anxiety during a trip. But is it okay for microdosing to drink caffeinated beverages? I don't drink coffee, tea only. This is for mushroom and LSD microdosing.

I drink about 12oz of buttered coffee every morning, light roast from a French press. Days I work my microdoses go down about 45 minutes after I finish my cup of coffee. Off days sometimes I don't microdose until hours after coffee.

How many scoops of coffee do you use in your French press? So you don't think it has any negative effects?

The cautious perspective is of course the you are safer with fewer substances in the mix. That being said, I'm very habituated to coffee and so my harm reduction is to use less lucy or mush than most do on my MDing days.
It's also worth noting here that tea isn't exactly the same stimulant as coffee and it might be more/less problematic.

Two scoops. No negative effects, though with buttered coffee, caffine binds to fat and is released slower so there's no spike or crash from caffine.
My morning coffee is the only source of caffeine that I consume. Unless kombucha is caffeinated, I don't drink any soda or tea or energy drinks. Water, coffee and homebrew kombucha is about all I drink.

I've been doing a .5 at 8am-8pm over the past 2 years i have grown to hate caffeine with my shrooms. coffee leads to a very edgy can't keep my mind straight day.

Yerba mate is the often regarded as the smoothest of these tropical beverage stimulants, even more than tea. It might be the best choice for people who 'need something' but still want to try microdosing.

Totally! The smooth nature of the buzz is what got me hooked. I was a big coffee drinker but found it so spikey! I still like an espresso now and then but I'm a total mate convert. It's also keeping my hydrated as I'm drinking so much water.
I tend to keep drinking through my mate even when it's pretty washed out, so by lunch time I'm basically drinking slightly flavoured warm water.
But I find the combo of the microdose and mate drinking to be very uplifting. I wouldn't drink mate on the day of a higher dose though, or at least I'd only drink a little in the morning then put it down before lunch so I can slow down.
I switch to chamomile in the afternoon most days.
