There is nothing different about the caffeine. However, coffee also contains harman and norharman. Each of these are MAO inhibitors, and therefore increase levels of monoamines, especially serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and trace amines like tryptamine and phenethylamine. Harman is also an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor like galantamine, and there is possibly at least one unidentified muscarinic acetylcholine agonist (direct or indirect, I'm not sure) in there as well. And that's in addition to other things. When you drink coffee, you're getting much more than just caffeine.
