It shocked me to realize that coffee has theophylline in it. That's considered a medicine by doctors. I think it dilates the bronchials. Interesting.

Caffeine can be used as a bronchodilator, too, and in fact was once used for that purpose. Theophylline has fewer side effects. In an emergency, though, coffee can be used by asthmatics to try to obtain some relief if nothing better is available.
