I've been drinking decaf for years. It's hard to get a good tasting decaf blend, but if you don't drink much caffeine decaf will wake you up, you can drink more cups a day (if that's your thing) and it's healthier. Frankly, I'm surprised decaf is not more popular. It is possible to make decaf taste so good you'd never know it's decaf.

  There seems to be quite a lot of anecdotal evidence of side effects in this discussion.

    Well, there are people who have bad reactions to gluten, but most of us don't need to eliminate it from out diet.

  In that quote you picked he's referencing the amount of caffeine. With high level consumption the side effects are more pronounced. If you drop the "healthy/unhealthy" monikers when researching, there's a clearer picture of that since "healthy" is such a loaded term.

  My local roaster's decaf is seriously the best I've ever had, swiss water method and really good beans. I do a half/half with their caffeinated blends and I love it. In the afternoon, I'll do just the decaf and it's really smooth and flavourful. https://www.onevillagecoffee.com/collections/coffee/products/caramely-with-mellow-citrus-and-dried-fruit-notes?variant=12511037489224 https://www.onevillagecoffee.com/collections/coffee/products...

The thing is that decaf is not completely decaf, it still has more caffeine than I would have thought at first.
- proverbialbunny 6y ago
  That's why I like it.
