Caffeine combined with Creatine

I'm 40 and just started taking Creatine (couple of months each winter) and higher doses of Caffeine (via PWO or Bang) in the past five years. While I've always been active and also lifted weights, I never bothered with Creatine or PWOs in my 20s or early 30s.
I've noticed a couple of articles that indicate it's not the best (for muscle performance and possibly other reasons?) to mix Creatine with Caffeine. Does anyone have any thoughts on this area, for example those PWOs that include Creatine?

I’m 27, and I stay on creatine year round. Never any issues with adding stimulates but I try to take pre in moderation and cut out other super high stims through the day. That’s just for heart rate not anything to do with creatine. Creatine is the most studied supplement on the market so I’m sure if there is a reason to combine it’s out there. I wouldn’t worry about it, however as both are fine in moderation. If you had to pick one stick with creatine, but again I don’t think you do.

I don’t know whether your statement is true, but I know many of the more premium brands of preworkout contain both. I also just don’t think the purpose of either would really contradict each other to present an adverse muscle effect. One is for energy and the other is to increase water retention in muscles.

When taken at the same time, the effects of creatine are supposedly reduced. I've heard that it is better to take the PWO, then take the creatine a few hours later. I found out about this on the Transparent Labs website. Their main caffeinated PWO didn't have creatine and they cited the source on their website. I take creatine everyday in the afternoon with a shake. I'll cycle caffine on and off throughout the year.
