Hello everyone!

The past year I’ve been getting into coffee a bit more. I love brewing my own thermos in the morning since the coffee at work is insert descriptive terminology.

However I’ve always been pretty sensitive to caffeine. If I drink a daily cup for weeks I’ll end up with my heart going nuts at the least bit of stress (my adhd meds probably contribute to this). And my sleeping pattern totally messed up.

So decaf it is, which limits my choices.

My question: does the quality of coffee have anything to do with this? Type of beans? Roast?

    As a fellow decaf drinker, I recommend extracting ~25-33% less with decaf. The beans are porous from the decaffeination process so they extract more quickly. I suggest using less water or lower temps or both. I used to hate decaf before I figured this out
