I'm moving into your territory, I think. I find that I absolutely love the smell and flavor, but the caffeine is starting to be an irritant as I age. I don't (and never have) like sugary soda drinks, and water is "OK", but boring. I just like sipping on ice-coffee as I work.

I drink a single cup of coffee a day (used to drink two), but love the flavor and taste that I considered drinking decaf the rest of the day. Never got around to doing it, but possible one resolution to this issue. Although decaf still has some caffeine, so I can’t really drink it too late in the day.

Probably lots of tech folk who are getting older fall into this category. I loooove drinking coffee while working, but as I get older it’s giving me pretty bad heartburn. I’ve tried just about every other type of drink as a replacement, but nothing is as good as coffee :(

Cold brew has a lot less acid, and a wonderful flavor.
