I’ve read many takes that say coffee just works by blocking the receptors that make you sleepy, but my question is, why is it upon drinking coffee that I experience more energy? The feeling is that it actually gives me energy, not just a baseline state of not being tired.

The energy was already there, your body was just choosing not to use it right now.
Imagine the fuel gauge in a car. If you always refuel (sleep) when the light turns on (when you’re tired), coffee is the equivalent of turning off the indicator light until you’re _really_ low.
