Right Testicle Pains, Scrotum Shrinks. Normal?

It is certainly not uncommon to experience intermittent testicular discomfort from time to time. There are a few things to keep in mind in your case and I will review them here.
First, a condition known as epididymitis can cause discomfort around the testicle. This is a benign condition that generally responds to antibiotic therapy. Typically the pain is a bit more constant than you reported in your case. As for the association with caffeine - I am not aware of any condition or disease entity which would explain that.
Next - we should consider a kidney stone which can sometimes cause pain which radiates from the low back into the testicle. This might be associated with some blood in the urine as well. The pain is generally excruciating with a kidney stone so this appears unlikely in your case but should be considered.
The tightening of the scrotum with pain is not uncommon as a pain ressponse can sometimes do that. I want to encourage you to do a good testicular exam and feel for any lumps or cysts PR asymmetry in your testicles.
If this pain persists - I would advise you see a doc for an examand for further recommendations. Sometimes an ultrasound can aid in diagnosing abnormalities as well.
Your symptoms do not sound serious or life threatening but I would like you to continue monitoring for the time being. I would expect the symptoms to gradually resolve with no intervention - bigot they do not - you can seek advice of an examining physician.
I hope my response has been both adequate and informative. I am available for any followups.
Regards,
