Always thought I wouldn’t like it and didn’t see the point.
And then I got some nice decaf beans and holy shit. This is great. I can have coffee in the evening now as a beverage to enjoy.
I know this is obvious. But if you like speciality coffee, and you wish you could drink more without a panic attack, then I think trying some decaf roasts is a big brain move.
Now whipping out the Aeropress in the evening is my highlight.
I think when I last looked at decaf it was basically just the supermarket brands and the coffee sucked (cause it was supermarket coffee). Now that I’m looking around there is a decaf roast at almost all local roasters.
I think that most of the time when people decide that they don’t like decaf, it’s because they got some day old coffee from somewhere that doesn’t move enough decaf to ever make more batches. I like the caffeine in normal, but decaf is great for just the flavor.
