It's Coffee, The Natural Way

I've never quite understood the concept of drinking decaffeinated coffee. Coffee doesn't taste THAT delicious.

It's the caffeine, stupid!

[Graybeard58]

Decaffeination is achieved by an industrial process in which the beans are exposed to a solvent to leach out the caffeine.

I have a violent allergic reaction to this crap and I am the only person I have ever heard of who does.

Anybody else here who does?

[SaveTheChief]

I must respectfully disagree.

With all the varieties of beans and roasts out there, coffee is wonderful stuff.

I drink it black. I don't drink flavored coffee either.

[joesnuffy]

caffiends is who coffee was invented for...caffeine is what they put in coffee to make it taste good...kinda like fat in french fries...
sheesh...

[GoLightly]

I've heard there are others. You're not alone.

There's also a water process to remove caffine from coffee, if you're really interested in drinking coffee without it.

[John Will]

It is Methlyne Chloride or Dichlromethane that is used to remove the caffine.

For at least some of us, Coffee IS that delicious!

[Dog Gone]

I think it smells great, and that first cup in the morning is awfully good. But I wouldn't brew a pot of decaf in the evening just for the taste.

Then again, drinking hot liquids of any nature in this hellhole called Houston is questionable behavior.

if you're really interested in drinking coffee without it.

No interest in drinking decaf but the last time I had it was from a gas station and I asked the attendant if she was sure it was regular coffee. About three miles down the interstate it felt as if the top of my head was going to blow off and I knew what it was from.

Decaf cola does the same thing to me. 7-Up advertizes their drink never had it and never will. It doesn't bother me at all and probably whatever they make their drink from is naturally caffine free.

Thanks, it's nice to know that I am not alone.

Decaffeinated coffee is a tool of the Food Fascists.

Abso-livin'-lutely!!

It's like drinking lite beer.

It's like drinking lite beer.
Now that sux!

[Pompah]

coffee doesn't taste THAT delicious. I used to think the same thing. (You know,Army coffee and all.) But then I found "KONA COFFEE". 100% Kona Coffee grown on the cool hillsides above the Kona Coast of west Hawaii. Nothing like it in the world.

[HitmanLV]

Dunkin' doesnt take a lot of skill. There's an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.

[Dog Gone]

Okay, Kona is pretty darn good. But I think anyone who drinks decaf Kona should be shot.

I'm partial to New Guinea. Very nice complex almost chocolaty taste.

[gripper]

ITS A CRIME AGAINST NATURE....the FDA is behind it all;they want us all to remain compliantly stuperousDEATH TO DE-CAFF!!
