Every now and then I’ll do a decaf in the morning before a flight. I want a nice hot cup of morning coffee but I also want to sleep on the plane.

I’m very caffeine sensitive. Like if I drink coffee at 130 in the afternoon, I’ll be up til 2am. So I drink regular coffee til about 1030 and switch to decaf if I really want another cup later

I’d guess taste/ritual. But I have no idea personally

I drink mostly regular, but if I want more coffee experience without the caffeine, I do decaf. Just the sensory experience is nice and I associate with good feelings.

like

Mostly ritual I suppose. My family tends to end up having celebratory meals on a Sunday evening as there aren’t a ton of days when everyone is available, and dinner for us tends to end with dessert and coffee. Since I need to be up at 4am on Monday, if I’m not drinking it as decaf, I’m going to regret it.

like

Changes to caffeine intake can be a severe migraine trigger. For example, drinking two cups every morning Monday-Friday and then having none on Saturday can trigger days of migraines. After a few years of ruined weekends I switched to decaf at work because the taste is comforting and placebo effect ;)

So I can have 12 cups per day instead of the regular six

Caffeine withdrawal 🥁

Medically I can’t have anything over small amounts of caffeine, this changed a few years back — but I still love coffee.

Communism

Some people like the taste of coffee? I drink decaf after dinner before bed.

The fact is decaf is still caffeinated, just not as much

Rough day in the office and in the mood for something that would toss me around and maybe hurt a little. Black peppercorn crusted bacon left on a smoker too long and covered in jam made from under-ripe red fruits. The 59% ABV is definitely present, and you can smell the peat smoke from across the room. The finish lasts for days. If you’re already into peated scotch but want to crank it up another level, the cask strength Laphroaigs can show you your limits. Hurts soooo good 😌
