Same. My ADHD is entirely unmoved by the alleged stimulant effect. I just like coffee. (I also like dark chocolate. Bitter and complex is just my thing. Though bitter and sweet is occasionally nice.)

The stimulant effect of caffeine becomes progressively less effective as you continue to use it regularly and build up a tolerance - if you were to intermittently drink strong coffee you would probably find it having a stronger effect on your ADHD. That said, from my experience the 'rush' you get from drinking caffeine only once in a blue moon is quite unpleasant and the positive effects aren't really worth it... Caffeine imo is best consumed regularly or not at all.
