Actually, caffeine and creatine together can create creatinine which is a byproduct of creatine that the body does not absorb. If more recent studies are showing something different I will have to check that out.
But caffeine is actually REALLY good pre-workout. It not only gives you some energy, it also is a mild pain killer! YAY CAFFEINE!
