Well, a human body does contain all the nutrition the human body needs. You just have to eat the right mix of fat, protein, and organ meats for vitamins. Liver and kidneys should be fine, the liver is where the body puts minerals, vitamins, & toxins for processing, so if you eat too much liver you can die of too much of some vitamin or other, or something like that. Brain you should probably avoid because prions - you'll probably catch some kind of prion disease eventually anyway, but best to delay it as much as possible.

As long as you avoid capture, prion diseases and running out of victims, you could have perfect nutrition for as long as you like. You'd need more than just one corpse a month, and you wouldn't get superpowers, but in the 21st-century first world, with all the obesity, anorexia or simple not caring about diets, "I'm getting just the right amounts of all the nutrients I need" almost is a superpower.

Now, coffee, on the other hand, that'll mess you up - blood pressure, anxiety, heart palpatations, and eventually you develop enough of a tolerance that all the boost it gives you is to stop your caffeine withdrawal symptoms.
