    What are the good decafs? The only one I know of is Blue Bottle Decaf Noir, and blue bottle is owned by Nestle so fuck blue bottle. Plus I can’t find it where I live now.

      I had a hard time finding whole bean decaf. Counter culture: slow motion and magnolia coffee co: Brazil decaf are too options that I like fairly well.

      My sensitivity to caffeine varies. When it starts to bother me, going to approximately half decaf and half normal beans is a good way to cut the caffeine without having the shock of suddenly switching to decaf only.

        Half caf is great if you can deal with it. The older you get the harder time your body has processing caffeine. I’ve gotten to a place where I can’t drink almost any caffeine except early morning (due to the longer half-life in my body) or I can’t sleep, which sucks because I love the flavor of coffee, especially French roast, which is highly caffeinated.

          Are you sure it’s the caffeine? I ask because I have no problems at all with caffeine, but coffee in any real quantity, eg. more than in a Coffee Crisp or coffee cake, gives me stomach cramps, but I can take a 200 mg tablet on an empty stomach and have no problems at all.

          Everyone’s different, and I’m curious if this is another of those.
