TL;DR
The main finding of this study is that abstinence from caffeine for a period of 9 wk has no effect on either serum lipids or blood pressure.
Abstract
To study the effects of caffeine on serum lipids and blood pressure, we conducted a double-blind, randomized trial with two parallel groups in 69 young, healthy subjects. After a 3-wk run-in period, subjects were randomly assigned to one of two groups receiving either 4-6 140-mL cups filtered decaffeinated coffee per day and an equal number of pills containing 75 mg caffeine or 4-6 140-mL cups filtered decaffeinated coffee per day and an equal number of placebo pills, for 9 wk. In both groups caffeine intake from other sources was not allowed. The main finding of this study is that abstinence from caffeine for a period of 9 wk has no effect on either serum lipids or blood pressure.

Near complete tolerance, in terms of both humoral and hemodynamic variables, developed over the first 1-4 d of caffeine, and no long-term effects of caffeine on blood pressure, heart rate, plasma renin activity, plasma catecholamines, or urinary catechols could be demonstrated.

Salivary concentration measurements are of limited value in monitoring theophylline therapy since this drug shows a strong time-dependency in the S/P ratio, resulting in large inter- and intraindividual variations especially during the absorption phase in single oral and rectal dose studies.

It was found that the pH of the sodium phosphotungstate-magnesium precipitation method was a critical factor in the method and the distribution of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in a healthy adult population was skewed to the left for women and bi-modal for men.
New England Journal of MedicineThe Effect on Serum Cholesterol Levels of Coffee Brewed by Filtering or Boiling
195 Citations1989Annette Bak, Diederick E. Grobbee
It is concluded that drinking filtered coffee does not affect serum lipid levels, however, the consumption of boiled coffee has an effect on serum cholesterol levels amounting to a mean net increase of 10 percent of the base-line level after nine weeks.

The published reports on the association between coffee consumption and cholesterol levels are insufficient to warrant public health admonitions against coffee drinking, but it may be of clinical importance in some hypercholesterolemic individuals.

Further studies have demonstrated that caffeine does not produce a persistent increase in blood pressure and individuals who do not regularly consume caffeine may experience a slight increase inBlood pressure when they are exposed to caffeine, but tolerance develops rapidly and blood pressure returns to baseline.

The average amount of caffeine contained in the usual percolator type of coffee is approximately 150 mg per cup, while "instant coffee" contains approximately 80 to 90 mg and decaffeinated coffee contains about 15 to 25mg per cup.

It is concluded that saliva sampling could serve as a useful technique for therapeutic drug monitoring as well as for research of caffeine kinetics when many samples are required.

Neither tea nor cola consumption was associated with changes in serum lipids, suggesting that caffeine alone does not exert a direct effect on lipid levels, and the positive relationship between coffee and cholesterol may be due to confounding effects of other aspects of the diet.

It is concluded that in normotensive adults replacement of regular by decaffeinated coffee leads to a real but small fall in blood pressure, however, it remains to be established whether a mass switch from regular to decaffinated coffee would significantly reduce the total incidence of hypertension-related disorders.

Coffee appeared to cause a small rise in recumbent systolic blood pressure; this effect was less than, and obscured by, changes induced by posture and mild stress, and small changes in the expected directions occurred in plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein AI (decrease), and in total cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol and Apolipop Protein B (increase), but none of these were statistically significant.

The data suggest that the elevating effect of regular physical exercise on serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol may be absent in smokers, whereas that of alcohol is greater in smokers than nonsmokers.
