For months before that I had been on the mild roast. But for a long time, for many years, I had been on the strong roast. What's it called? Oh, dark roast. And for a long while, too, I had been making like four scoops per brew. And then I cut down to three. Then two. And then one. I can't remember the exact intervals though, but I just gradually cut down over the years. So until yesterday I was on one scoop of half-caf roast.
I had been considering restocking it, but I kinda forgot. But I did have an almost full container of decaf in the cupboard. I keep it there in case I felt like drinking coffee at night. It rarely happens, but sometimes if I couldn't sleep or something and felt like it. But also, a few days ago, I read somewhere that decaf isn't totally caffeine free. That there is still some caffeine in there. So I decided to give it a shot and see how I do.
So today, I made a strong decaf. I put two big scoops of it in the coffee maker and that is all I had for the day. I figured if I started to feel bad, I can buy a regular cup outside somewhere.
But actually, I felt fine. I felt okay. So I think I will keep it up. Hopefully I can finally not be dependent on caffeine again. Let's see how it goes.
