Do You Drink Decaf Coffee?

With the $2 billion business of decaffeinated coffee at a plateau, coffee companies are focusing their efforts on new "low-caf" blends. While decaf coffee has long been considered less flavorful, these breakthrough blends are genetically manipulated to be naturally lower in caffeine but complex in taste.

As an everyday coffee drinker, I hadn't realized that the decaf business was so lucrative, and was surprised to learn of the staggering numbers.

Clearly, there's a demand for caffeine-free coffee. Are you a committed decaf drinker? I'd love to hear your reasons in the comments below.

    Yes, if I really want some coffee but I have to work early the next day, I will get decaf.

    to be honest, i don't drink coffee for the caffine, so it doesn't matter to me if it's de-caf or regular. my go-to choice is always regular, but i'm just fine with decaf if that's what i can get.

    Decaf coffee is just drinking brown water IMO. Where's the kick??

    The only time I ever drank decaffeinated coffee on a regular basis was when I was pregnant.

    I had a decaf americano on Saturday. It was excellent! The only reason I did was because I had a few cups of coffee earlier and was still feeling pretty wired.

    Decaf is bad for you (due to the process of decaffination) unless its water pressed decaf. CHECK IT LADIES!

    I might drink it at a restaurant after a meal. I drink coffee for the taste as well as the caffeine, so there are times that I want a cup but don't want it to keep me up. Of course, I never have it on hand at home, so it's rare.

    I do something I call half-caf - one scoop of regular, one scoop of decaf. Good stuff. I feel fine on days when I don't have it Smiling

    Before 3:00 pm = regular, hands down;
    After 3:00 pm = settling for decaf.

    Penny C,

    They do. It's sold under at least one big brand. I think it might be Folger's (?), but don't quote me on that.

    If I'm drinking in it in the evening, I make "half caff" coffee so it's not completely devoid of flavor. But if I'm drinking coffee in the morning, it's full-octane for me.
