Almost every time I hear an American mention coffee, its not without first saying "decaf".
I cant understand why anyone would drink decaf coffee... aka hot black water.
I'd like to know how many people here actually drinks that stuff.. not only americans of course.
Poll-time!!
I'm voting for no, as you might've guessed. I dont think I've even seen decaf coffee here in Sweden.
Why would someone what that? It's like drinking Decaffeinated Coke (or Pepsi). WHY? I drink coffee in part for the caffeine
Some people just have to watch their caffeine intake levels... cannot tolerate it or for medical reasons, I suppose.
I drink decaf sometimes. The caffeine levels are much less... so depending on how many cups of joe I've already had, I might switch to decaf.
Some decaf tastes just like the regular coffee - depends on what brand!
I love coffee though. What's your favorite?
Oh I love coffee too. I'm not sure what I prefer, I dont make much coffee at home, I drink most of it at university or at "home" (aka my fathers place, yes i still refer to it as home even though ive moved out :blush: ), where I dont really bother to find out what brand it is :D
haha I hear that.
You are from Sweden, eh? So you wouldn't know my favorite type, unless they are global: Dunkin Donuts.
I'm hooked on that coffee.
Get yourself one of those single cup brews: they are awesome. Can try as many different types of coffees as you want without making a whole pot!
So now we know that the secret deportation location of all of our missing decaf-Americans is Sweden!
Honestly, Its not coffee without the caffeine!
:wave:
No decaf for me. I go to Starbucks all the time. Grande White Chocolate Mocha please.
I always mix up all the different coffee types...espresso, latte etc etc...so today I went wild and ordered an espresso in a café. Tiniest cup of coffee I've ever seen! What a rip off! :mad:
haha... I hope you slow sipped the espresso. It's nothing but a shot of coffee.
Have to be in the mood for it. I remember ordering my first one... by accident too - had no idea what was going on. Thought it was a joke. :-)
Drinking decaf coffee is like using an Apple product - it's all style and hype on the outside, but empty and pointless on the inside.
I don't care how many cups I've had... I'll drink another if I feel like it! Just don't give me that instant crap. It has to be REAL coffee. :rolleyes:

I don't know what they put in their drinks but they are certainly not Coffee as i know it !
I don't even bother with drinking coffee. So I'll say yes.
I drink decaf at work. Then I go to the bar and get a non-alcoholic beer and follow that up with unsalted popcorn. For dinner I like to have tofu burgers or Jumbo Shrimp. Drive home on the parkway and park in my driveway! My whole life is an oxy-moron.
I like Frapuccino, although I do get highs from it once in a while.
When I order coke, I say
"Coke please, not diet."
Dude you got a short black, next time order a long black ;)Quote:

Coffee is so disgusting tasting. I refuse to believe that anyone actually drinks it because they think it tastes good; they drink it so they can get buzzed on caffeine. Anyone who drinks decaf is therefore mentally ill.
I think exactly the same of jaegermeister and gin. Still people keep telling me they like it. Now I dont know who to believe anymore.Quote:

The only thing that makes less sense of Decaf-Coffee is Cafeene-free, Diet Mt. Dew.... What the heck? That totally flies in the logic of everything Mt.Dew stands for.

Decaf == Solaris
Regular == Linux
You expect Decaf to taste like Regular but there's something missing and you end up missing your deadlines.
