Aaaaaaarrrggh man I think I am supposed to give up or cut back coffee but I… like it and feel sad about not having it in my life. (I like it better than tea, or other sources of caffein or other drinks). I think the thing I like here is a particularly gritty taste.
I… suppose I am supposed to try decaf. I feel like in the past when I’ve tried that I didn’t really like the taste. (Edit: I just bought myself some decaf coffee of a type I think I might like. I like it… less than regular. It’s not the exact same brand I normally get so not sure if that’s a brand problem or a decaf problem). But, I’ll give it a try.
After much trial and error, I found that buying decaf beans (something like this for a dark roast, medium roast decaf beans are much harder to find, but they exist) and grinding them myself to use with a french press works best, I literally can’t tell the difference from how normal coffee tastes. There’s also the fact that you get used to a specific coffee taste after a while. When switching back and forth between coffee brands I noticed that the coffee tasted worst the first day after I switched brands, and then got better and better as I got used to the taste.

Thanks. :)

Yeah there is definitely a lot of variation in how good / crappy decaf tastes!
