Caffeine works by impersonation: it slots into the brain's adenosine receptors and blocks the signal that would have made you tired, so alertness is really just sleepiness deferred. A xanthine core wearing three methyl groups — C8H10N4O2 — the difference between a slow morning and a working one.

Caffeine is the jolt of coffee; theobromine is the slow warmth of chocolate. Structurally they are almost the same xanthine skeleton — caffeine simply carries one extra methyl group where theobromine holds a single hydrogen.
