Got to cut out caffeine for a while for medical reasons, so will be buying a lot more decaf beans. Only on week 1 on cutting down, so currently doing my usual 2 coffees but each is half-decaf half-caff beans. The decaf is Swiss Water process.

I did the James Hoffman Decaf Project tasting a couple of years ago and preferred Swiss Water method from that. But my memory isn't great and maybe I preferred it above the others less than I remember, so I might see if I can do a similar test again.

How about you?

From experience that doesn't work unless your acetomiophen has caffein in it. Ibuprofen, naproxen, nothing helps, but caffein.

To get off a caffein addiction and avoid headaches, you need about 5 days where you taper your intake.

Day 1: 1 cup of coffee Day 2: 1/2 cup Day3: 1/4 cup Day 4: 1/8 cup Day 5: two small sips Day 6: Freedom!

I've repeated this experiment three times. Works like a charm.
