Caffiene pills v coffee

Are caffiene pills that much sorse for you than coffee? My job is so boring I can barely keep my eyes open. The coffee they have is so disgusting I have to add half a pound of flavored cream and sugar just to make it drinkable. I can't make it thru the day without at least one cup (by cup I mean giant mug) I've tried it without all the addons and it makes me want to puke.
The thousand calorie coffee I make is doing nothing for my figure and thought about trying caffiene pills. It says 1 has the caffiene of 1 cup of coffee. I took it, was fine. Stayed awake, no side effects. But there always (or perhaps I'm just stuck in the 80s) this stigma around caffiene pills. So are they really that much worse for you than just drinking all that coffee?

Just to mention other options too: There are - in my opinion - better ways of staying active (if you got enough sleep) in most cases.
I've got no proble staying awake any other time. It is just the job. If I'm not at work, weekends or I actually have something to do it is no problem but you can only take sitting in a corner browsing "odd news" on yahoo for so many hours before your eyelids just get too heavey to take.
And bringing my own coffee would require me to get out of bed that whole 10 minutes earlier as I don't have a fancy pot that I can put on a timer and I am so unwilling to do that.
And thanks for the replies
