Probably: Yes, this can be from gut overactivity stimulated by the coffee. If it persists after no coffee for 13 hours, consider other cause.

Stomach pulse: The stomach pulsation can be caused by hypertension. Do you have high blood pressure? Caffeine can increase heart rate that may also causing the symptoms.

Pulsation: You are young, and it would be unusual for this to an aneurysm. Actually, if you are thin you can feel your Aorta.

SO it is probably just the normal pulsing of blood through the largest vessel in your body. Try to find a position to sleep in which you do not notice it.

Your aorta: Every trim person has a pulse there. Many of us not discover it as adults. Mention it to your physician on your next visit.
