I believe barley coffee in Italy became popular during WW2 with coffee shortages, it retains a tinge of 'poor man's drink', but there are still fans of it and you can find it in any supermarket. I enjoyed it when I was younger, it has a nice full-bodied taste, though it lacks the kick of caffeine.

- eps 4mo agoThis weakness is most likely due to slow caffeine metabolism. That was the only practical thing I learned from my 23andme test results and it explained crappy night sleep quality when drinking coffee after 3 pm. Switching to decaf beans helped.
