Agree. Decaf allows you to get the taste without the caffeine. Although I read a study said that the taste of beer alone can release a bunch of dopamine because of the memory of what's about to come next (alcohol). I think the same thing happens with taste of coffee and caffeine because when I started drinking decaf I noticed my appreciation of the taste of coffee went down a little.
- mjn 13y agoIt's interesting to consider what the enjoyment would be like if I only drank decaf. I typically drink decaf after caffeinated coffee; for example, if I'm at a coffee shop working for some hours, I'll have a caffeinated coffee or two to start, then switch to decaf. If I drank only decaf, it's quite possible the experience could change. For me its main use is to allow me to keep up a habit of sipping periodically on coffee for hours, which I enjoy, without getting really jittery from 5-6 cups of coffee, which I don't.
