It is my understanding that decaf coffee is typically made from poor quality beans, because consumers typically expect decaf to cost as much as regular coffee even though the decaffeination process means an additional cost. For decades I only drank decaf and only in the past few years I have replaced my morning cup with regular coffee because it's so much easier (and cheaper!) to find good beans. In other words, there are good reasons to consume caffeinated coffee besides an addiction to caffeine.
