I usually take coffee tolerance breaks, 3 days withdrawal symptoms like headache and 20 days coffee-free, when I come back, it hits better than if I were stayed so it is rewarding.

I used to do this too. You know instead of cold-turkey with withdrawal symptoms you can just gradually lower your intake.

On the first day or of the break I'll just drink half the amount I normally drink. Then by day 2 I'll drink a third. Probably nicer to ease into it.
