if you’re a regular caffeine drinker, it’s not going to increase your cortisol very much at all.
Remember, caffeine is not necessarily increasing your cortisol that much if you're a chronic caffeine user, but it's extending the life of cortisol so that that cortisol curve, that level of cortisol in your bloodstream is going to come down more slowly if you're drinking caffeine in the late afternoon.
Caffeine will extend the duration over which cortisol is active, but it's not going to increase your cortisol much if you're a regular caffeine user as I am.
