I'll add myself as another data point in the mix.

I encounter very noticeable reactions to coffee consumption in the way of acne modules and cysts that are very deep and long-lived (i.e. weeks). It seems that some varieties of coffee are worse (i.e. Starbucks), while tea and other forms of caffeine do not cause a problem at all.

I discovered this because I've been fairly deliberate about what I eat for the past 5 years. Gluten was the first thing to go about 4 years ago. I stopped eating legumes shortly after that and dairy about 2 years ago. I never eat legumes anymore and expose myself to gluten or dairy at most every 3-4 months. I noticed a huge improvement in lifelong acne problems (I'm 34 now) from these changes. However, the problems persisted until I tried cutting out coffee and sticking with tea.
