I read the article so you lot wouldn't have to. It's about a gene that makes some people metabolise caffeine three times slower than others which can cause problems at high levels of caffeine consumption. Not about coffee being harmful to kidneys in and of itself.
Personal hypothesis: I imagine 3 cups a day with an ~18 hour half-life would mean their bodies never get a break.
