It's not about craving coffee. It's about going through caffeine withdrawal when a regular (even heavy) coffee drinker abruptly stops consuming caffeine.

I have never heard of a heavy coffee drinker being about to stop without experiencing fairly serious fatigue and headaches along with other problems in some cases for at least a few days. Not ever.
