Switch to black tea? It will be difficult to read the same amount of caffeine content but it'll be probably be more sustainable than quitting altogether

I solely enjoy coffee for the taste of it. I neither use it as an enhancer in the morning nor after lunch. I drink extremely irregular, maybe 2-3 times a week when I want to enjoy a nice espresso with milk. The taste of espresso is fantastic.

As for the psychoactive stimulation, that's another part. I had times when I didn't drink coffee for a month or two without any problems or cravings but like a good piece of chocolate, I don't want to forego the taste for the rest of my life because I actually really enjoy the taste.

Good luck Philo!

Have you considered decaf coffee (e.g. below) as a way to enjoy coffee without the caffeine? (appreciate there is a little bit of residual caffeine).

I personally strictly have 1 caffeinated drink (coffee/tea) in the morning with Breakfast and one decaffeinated coffee in the afternoon - what are your thoughts on such an approach? I'm yet to go deep on completely cutting it out.
