Espresso Defcaf?
-
Hi All, The new coffee machines at work are odd. Bean to cup! you get the usual buzz word coffees and the Decaf versions including Espresso decaf :confused:, why, I always thought Espresso was a quick short I need to be awake NOW, this second. A decaf version I think would concentrated coffee taste and thats it. I suppose it's offered as it used as base for the other drinks...but why? :| :java:

I guess caffeine is addictive, and can lead to nasty side effects when abused of. Some like to get the placebo effect from it, though. Metabolisation time[^] being 45 minutes, the "NOW" effect does come from your brain, which reacts to the fact that it now knows that you have drank a coffee.

No, no - it wakes up in anticipation!

I just drank a large strong cup of proper (not decaffeinated) coffee, but I still feel as dozy and stupid as before. :sigh:
MAybe you just dreamt you drank it. Have another to check.

Oh. So we could serve him a tea made from my worn socks and it would work as long as he believes that this is coffee? Great. I think I will not wash socks anymore. Instead I'm going to shredder them and fill them into capsules, which I sell just under the current gold price.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Never understood it either. And yet it is common...

Have one of those machines in the apartment building I live. About a year ago I started to drink espresso slowly with a cube of raw sugar on the side for afterwards while taking a break during the day. Picked it up from my little brother and sister-in-law. According to them that is the proper Italian way to drink it. While I still roll my eyes when I think about it, they do spend a few weeks there near Bologna every couple of years. Her family has been doing it for a few decades now. That said, I'd never trust espresso out of a super fancy Keurig to actually be any good.

Would you be interested in buying some of my special blend capsules? Not decaf, honestly.

No, but I can ask to some of my former coworkers. Coffee and hygiene in that place were truly horrible, it would be an improvement.

My former boss ordered a change of the vending machine because he wanted the decaf. Poor man, he slept almost the whole 8 hours (well, he used to leave after 5 or 6) of work, if he drank coffee it would ruin his sleep schedule.

so they suck the caffeine out of the beans and produce something that looks and tastes like coffee, but most likely will just give you a headache and then blend the extracted caffeine into medicines to help alleviate headaches? me doc gave me some extra strong ones for migraine, and yeah, they help drinking 5 large cups of coffee also helps, but need to keep getting up to pee. pills have other stuff in them, ibuprofen or similar base nsaid, so with a headache the pills do do a better job than drinking coffee: - 2 pills, 1 - 2 cups of coffee, and a nice little nap - all good again.

Tolerance to caffeine can build up. I have friends who can drink coffee and go to sleep after it. I'd be awake, staring at the ceiling.

AFAIK, espresso shots have less caffeine than a regular drip coffee cup ... that being said, A lot of people like the smell (mostly) and taste of coffee but do not want to have the caffeine that comes with it. Personally, I couldn't care less if people like of not decaf coffee.
I'd rather be phishing!

Well I just found it odd knowing the reputation it had to have a version without it's main feature... ;)

I absolutely love my coffee (as any good programmer should). But when I had heart problems and diagnosed with 2 separate types of palpitations, large doses of caffeine are a no go anymore. Decaf has been a blessing as I can continue to enjoy a cup of coffee with colleagues but not affect my condition.
