I've been off coffee for 1 month now. I've drank one or 2 decaff cortado or americanos because I like the taste of coffee, but I feel like decaf doesn't taste as good.

I was a good week with intense headaches, it was scary. I used to drink 1 or 2 a day, nothing more.

As for the link, it doesn't work ... hackernews DoS induced?

> I feel like decaf doesn't taste as good

Decaf doesn't taste as good, at least in the US. The American public won't tolerate a higher cost for decaf than ordinary coffee, so roasters pay for the decaffeination process by purchasing lower quality beans.

Btw to eliminate withdrawal headaches one only needs a small amount of caffeine. I've taken one caffeine pill per day for about a week (~100mg daily depending on brand which is less than one cup of coffee equivalent).

Well, the headaches were annoying, but it seems so much simpler to just go cold turkey.
