It has been incredibly hard for me to quit as the consumption of caffeine feels directly tied with work performance and mood for me. It also doesn’t help that I love the taste of coffee and the routine.
You don't have to give up the taste or the ritual to cut back on the caffeine, you don't even have to give up caffeine totally. You can cut down a lot on it too.
For reference for anyone interested, I used a Mochamaster filter brewer with these beans (which I freshly grind - which probably helps the taste too):
Lavazza Decaffeinated, 100% Arabica Medium Roast
This is exciting to me as I can finally wean myself off caffeine while keeping my {difficult to kick} coffee habit!
Wow, I had never heard of this before. The chemical process for decaf had always put me off before.

> When you see the Swiss Water® name, it means your favorite roaster offers 100% chemical-free decaffeinated coffee.
You may have just convinced me to switch to decaf...
