You could, I don't know, just drink decaf if you like the flavour.
That would just make to much sense.
That's kind of what I do. I make 2 scoops of decaf and 1 scoop caf. Makes half a pot, enough caffeine to prevent jitters.
Thats exactly what I did. Just makes sense. Love coffee, but dont wanna destroy myself with so much caffeine.
All drugs should be legal and regulated
State or personally regulated? Both are a bit hard to administer properly.
When I was in school, I worked in a coffee shop and I'd down espresso shots/drinks until closing and then jump in the bed.
Twenty years later, I have a cup a few times a week and if I have much more I start to get wired feeling, or have trouble sleeping that night.
I've read that's part of getting older, caffeine just hits a bit harder.
I used to drink one pint of coffee per day. Now I drink none and I feel so much better.
Thats all I’ve ever had. I work outdoors so that cup I brew before I leave the house is it.
Never felt like I was missing out because coffee is one of the 3 most vile things commonly consumed. The others being peanut butter and pickles.
