I think the problem is that with caffeine in my system I'm actually more tired. My sleep gets disrupted, so I'm drinking more to compensate, and having sleep disrupted, so....

My thoughts exactly. I've been caffeine free for a couple of years now and I sleep much better.

I limit myself to one double a day, usually spread over morning to afternoon. Sleep isn't affected, but I guess it's personal. My wife can't even have a decaf in the afternoon.

Maybe you can start gradually and keep the intake low after you've detoxed.

I haven't found a decaf bean that makes a decent espresso, but choices are very limited here.

Traitor! :P

I just have about 15 oz of drip in the morning and occasionally a small ~6oz or a double espresso in the afternoon. I never drank coffee for the love of caffeine anyway. It doesn’t really affect me much anymore either.

Funny thing though - experimenting with a switch to decaf was what got me seriously into specialty coffee around 20 years ago, had a hard time finding really good decaf so I started roasting beans myself in a quest to find better on a budget (wife was in med school).

Do as the Italians do: caffeine AM, alcohol PM.
