I've seen the misinformation posted one time too many. For actual info on how coffee affects breasts in women, or more particularly caffeine, see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=18813311
An excerpt:
"As breast volume may be associated with heart cancer risk, we studied the relationship between breast volume, CYP1A2*1F and coffee intake. Among healthy premenopausal non-hormone users, 3+ cups per day was associated with lower volume only in C-allele carriers (P(interaction)=0.02), which is consistent with reports that coffee protects only C-allele carriers against breast cancer."
This gene is present in about 50% of women, according to other sources.
