Got to cut out caffeine for a while for medical reasons, so will be buying a lot more decaf beans. Only on week 1 on cutting down, so currently doing my usual 2 coffees but each is half-decaf half-caff beans. The decaf is Swiss Water process.
I did the James Hoffman Decaf Project tasting a couple of years ago and preferred Swiss Water method from that. But my memory isn’t great and maybe I preferred it above the others less than I remember, so I might see if I can do a similar test again.
How about you?
I’m a bit more sensitive to caffeine withdrawals and I drink about 4-7 shots daily, so my taper needs to be drawn out about 10 days or so, but definitely the best way to cease caffine intake. Even doing this, I can require some paracetamol occasionally.
