I switched to half-caff coffee and don't personally experience caffeine withdrawal anymore when I go without. I think it weened me off the need.

I still drink it in the morning just because I enjoy it.

Nice, i should try that out. Is half-caff decaf, or is it a third class?

I have no idea, but you can buy coffees that are lower caffeine varieties. Robusta isn’t generally great tasting but generally has a lot of caffeine and is added to blends for this reason (and because it’s cheap).

Trying full strength but low caffeine varieties might be a nice option.

Thanks!

Folgers makes and sells a “half caff” canister but you can make your own by just 50/50 mixing regular and decaf.
