Has anybody here tried to switch to decaf coffee in the morning?
I tried this morning but after the morning news I couldn't stay awake any longer. I was dragging my butt around. Had to go back to bed, woke up after a few hours. Now it's past noon....
End of decaf episode. Going to the food store for more regular coffee.....

I don't even think decaf tastes like coffee... Plus, what's the point? 
Blood pressure and a-fib stuff gets in the way of a good espresso, lol. Couldn’t stand it went to half-caf. We buy regular and decaffeinated, then mix to our preferred strength. It was the best way, for us, to cut down on caffeine.
Started out at about a 75/25 mix, by weight, then worked our way down. Now it’s about 25/75 ratio by weight.
Never had to worry about withdraw.
It's all I drink with some rare exceptions.
Of course after all those years of drinking whatever was available, I'm no coffee snob, TBS.

I'm a tea drinker. Preferably Russian style (sweetened with marmalade instead of sugar or honey). Some think strawberry marmalade is best, but for me it's apricot. Best case scenario: either Constant Comment style (orange peel, cinnamon and clove) or just cinnamon, and then sweetened with a chunky style apricot marmalade. Morning, noon and night!
Although--one of my favorite funny scenes ever concerned coffee. It was in a crowded hotel breakfast room in Holland, decades ago. A colleague of mine who is from Crete (and looks the part, swarthy skin, tangled dark locks of hair), but grew up in Canada, were having breakfast at a table for four. My friend had been married for fifteen years to a Swedish woman, and they lived in Stockholm for the entire time. His Swedish is pretty much fluent, as is mine. But we speak English when we're together. So, there we were, at the breakfast table for four when an elderly (probably younger than we are now! LOL!!) couple from Sweden was shown to our table. We made room for them, and the woman was immediately complaining about this and that. They had no earthly clue, of course, that we both understood every word they were saying. The service WAS slow, and she grew impatient for her coffee, which never came. Finally, she got up, went over to the coffee pot, and brought it over to pour some coffee for herself and her husband. Being the ever-polite Scandinavian, she asked us--in English--if we would like some coffee as well. My friend said yes, thanks, and I declined. I then told her, in Swedish, that she didn't need to switch to English on our account, I understood Swedish perfectly well. She froze in shock. Then my friend chimed in, also in Swedish, saying, of course we both speak Swedish, and we weren't bothered in the slightest if she wished to continue on her native language. I have no basis for speculation, but I bet they were a LOT more careful from then on about assuming who understood Swedish and who didn't. If two random dark-haired guys with beards speaking English were both fluent in Swedish, who knows who out there might speak it as well?
De-caf is vile. I'd take another BP pill if I had to.
Why bother? 
I imagine it's mostly former coffee drinkers that go for decaf
Probably because I know what's coming once I start drinking it.
