Coffee doesn't cause any problem, no studies say that.
But 230 is too high for hypertension.
He has to continue life long medications for blood pressure. And, to be fair yes he is likely candidate for high risk of heart disease. Better to get a lipid profile, a baseline echo, ecg and keep regular 6 months follow up.
