Caffeine is an amazing substance that has helped drive society forward. For example, coffee houses in England are where the ideas of the Enlightenment were discussed and from where the London Stock Exchange was originally based (Jonathan's Coffee-House[1]). Caffeine is a central nervous stimulant that increases alertness, reaction speed and short-term memory, not necessarily creativity. If you want increased creativity you are looking at the wrong type of chemical and may be more interested in an area like nootropics or entheogens.
