I've been sleeping on decaf (lemmy.ca)

Always thought I wouldn't like it and didn't see the point.

And then I got some nice decaf beans and holy shit. This is great. I can have coffee in the evening now as a beverage to enjoy.

I know this is obvious. But if you like speciality coffee, and you wish you could drink more without a panic attack, then I think trying some decaf roasts is a big brain move.

Now whipping out the Aeropress in the evening is my highlight.

I think when I last looked at decaf it was basically just the supermarket brands and the coffee sucked (cause it was supermarket coffee). Now that I'm looking around there is a decaf roast at almost all local roasters.

The decaf at a roaster in Brussels, MOK makes a decaf that rivals some of their filter coffee.

Decaf can't substitute very floral or fruity single origins in my opinion because the process seems to "tone it down" or "generify" it.

It can still be extremely tasty, but it never (in my experience) can save those really light notes.

Thats interesting. I didnt know that. Personally i have a disappointingly low bar of tolerance for acidity so im usually on the medium/light-medium roasts.
