Coffee or caffeine is good for a lift and has some fat burning benifits. On the down side it is a dieritic so when you take it to soon before a workout, you are reducing your hydration before a workout, which should be higher not lower. Also, if you supplement with a product like creatine which helps retain and transport water to your muscle you are basicly nulifying that by drinking too much coffee.
That being said, I am on my 5th big cup of the day of coffee. I love it and damn it, some times you have to just no your shortcomings, coffee is mine.
I do try to cut the coffee intake about 2-3 in the afternoon.

Hi my name is Nani and I'm a coffee-aholic...
I'd rather chew on broken glass than give up coffee completetly. It has been hard enough to limit my self to one or two cups in the morning and cutting out the late night coffee binges! I have a hard enought time actually getting to bed, so 3/4 of a pot at bedtime doesn't really help!
Who else really likes freshly ground coffee beans and Hazelnut creamer? Damn that stuff is good! Too good! I've officially switched over to the fat free version...so it's a little less bad for me!

I think it is Millstone that makes Kaluha and Cream flavored beans. Throw them in the grinder and make a pot. Awesome stuff.
For preworkout I just drink regular old "leaded coffee".

I only drink a cup or two in the morning, but pre workout, i usually down 2-3 cups. I do feel a bit leaner since I started the pre workout coffee...who knows, all i know is i try not to drink more than that throughout the day. b/c I dont want to build a high tolerance for it. I make sure i drink lots of water to offset the diuretic effects of caffeine.
