My friends often tease me about my coffee consumption, but I had given up drinking soda years ago, and I needed something else to fill the need. For as long as I can remember, I have always had to have something to drink in my hand. My friends could go without, but that was never the case for me. If I’m not drinking coffee, I have a bottle of water with me. That’s just the way it’s always been for me. Once I started drinking a lot of coffee I found the joys of decaf coffee.

I drink a pot of coffee everyday, well at least when I am at home, and when it comes time to go to sleep at night, I can be too wired to sleep. I had to do something, so I went out and got some decaf coffee beans to make in the evening. Now I can enjoy my coffee without lying awake for hours staring at the ceiling just wishing I could go to sleep. I would feel exhausted, but the caffeine would stop me from getting any sleep. When I started to drink decaf coffee that all changed.

One thing I learned about decaf coffee is that most of them do in fact have at least a little bit of caffeine in them. There are some that do not, but it is often hard to roast a decaf coffee bean so that there is no longer any amount of caffeine present. I had to try a few different kinds to make sure I found a good decaf coffee, but quite honestly, the amount you will find in there won’t affect you very much unless you are very sensitive to caffeine. If even a little bit bothers you, you want to be careful to find the right brand.

I have found that decaf coffee is comforting to me at the end of a long day. On cool says I can sit down with a cup of it and relax. I am always stressed out, and I know that I have to have something to calm me down at the end of the day. Usually a chat online with friends and a cup of decaf coffee is just what I need. On the weekends, it always great to rent a movie and sit down with my husband to relax, and we both enjoy a cup together when we have the time.
