Decaf does contain caffeine, but the concentration is often low.

I work in the Netherlands, and most of my colleagues drink coffee in the morning and noon, and usually start drinking decaf in the evening, because it has less effect on sleep at night.

Drinking decaf is mainly because of the taste, to be honest, if it is good coffee, the taste alone is very addictive.

I have a personal experience to share about the reasons why doctors drink caffeine in American TV series:

My usual experiments have a lot of microsurgical procedures. If you drink regular coffee before surgery in the morning, although you are refreshed, you will start shaking if you are still in surgery at dinnertime (that is, you are hungry and have not enough blood sugar). So now, if you drink caffeine if you have microsurgery, and then deceive yourself into looking energetic, the problem of hand shaking will not appear.

Is decaf (Decaf Coffee) really healthier than regular coffee? In a report published by the University of Florida (University of Florida) in 2006, it was pointed out that almost all decaf coffee actually contained a certain amount of caffeine.

Caffeine is the most widely consumed product in the world. A researcher at the University of Florida has mentioned in the Journal of Food Analysis that each unit of Espresso contains 3 to 15.8 milligrams of caffeine, while the average caffeine used with coffee is 12 to 13.4 milligrams per 16 ounces. If a person drinks five to ten cups of decaf coffee, the amount of caffeine he gets is actually close to that of a normal cup of coffee. Another author of the journal, Bruce Goldberger, Ph.D., William R. Maples Center of the University of Florida, also said that for those who are advised to reduce caffeine because of illness or anxiety, the results of this study may make them feel relieved. If your doctor advises you not to take caffeine, you should stop using decaf.

For some physically sensitive people, even excessive caffeine intake can lead to restlessness, anxiety, rapid heartbeat and elevated blood pressure, Dr. Bruce Goldberger said. In addition, Griffths is also recharged, and patients should be more careful not to use coffee like Latte, which is very popular. Of course, Latte coffee is light, but the caffeine released by a cup of Latte is equivalent to a bottle of palatable quantity, which is equivalent to 31 milligrams.

Will decaffeinated coffee taste bad?

Since decaffeinated people don't have to worry about taking too much, the next question is: will the taste of coffee be affected, will it still taste good?

The flavor of coffee is closely related to coffee beans. Under the premise of the amount of caffeine, choose the right beans and decaffeinated methods to preserve the flavor of coffee. Generally speaking, mixing low-caffeinated Arabica beans with strong-tasting Chambusta beans is one of the ways to perfect their beauty. In addition, the process of removing caffeine from coffee beans is also one of the factors affecting the taste. Among the various methods, the most natural immersion method is the most recommended. This method is to let the caffeine of coffee beans dissolve naturally through immersion treatment, without using any chemical and natural methods, it can certainly reduce the content of caffeine without affecting the original flavor of the coffee.

If you want to make decaf coffee, you can do it by purchasing beans that have been decanted.
