Many people associate drinking coffee with smoking cigarettes. I was fortunate. I always drank my coffee inside and smoked outside, so the two were rarely done hand-in-hand. I was able to continue enjoying my coffee after I quit.
If you quit both at the same time, you are going to experience both nicotine withdrawal and caffeine withdrawal. That's for sure. Unless you start drinking another caffeinated beverage in place of your coffee. You might try switching to hot tea for a while to see if that helps.
You can also try switching up your routine. Instead of giving up your coffee, try drinking it in a different location. If you usually have it at your desk at work, for example, switch to drinking it in the break room. At home, if you usually drink your coffee in your favorite chair, try sitting at the kitchen table instead. Just a tiny switch like that can help change the associations you have in your mind.
Or, if you really want to quit both, just buckle up and prepare for the ride! In my experience, caffeine withdrawal usually only involves some headaches and fatigue, which tend to come with nicotine withdrawal anyway. Go through it once and have it done with!
Whatever you decide to do, have a plan in place. If you need any help in that department, there are many of us here (myself included!) who would love to help you!
