      How the caffeine in those coffees affects a the body will vary from individual to individual based on a number of contributing factors like:

      Body weight or size: smaller individuals might have worse effects or see the effects quicker consuming the same amount of caffeine as someone of a different size.
      Age
      How tired we are
      Medications: some medicines can interact with caffeine and increase its effects.

      Effects of drinking a number of strong coffees over a short space of time could be:

      You could feel your heart beating faster or the caffeine in coffee can cause your blood vessels to constrict which could affect your blood pressure.
      Too much caffeine could make your hands shake and make you feel fidgety or a little anxious.
      Taking too much caffeine could cause stomach upset.
      High caffeine intake can lead to trouble falling asleep and keep you awake.

      Too much caffeine or coffee can cause dehydration.
