* more complicated coffee preparation, i.e. ditching the automatic coffee maker for an Italian machine with long warming-up times and manual bean grinding. Doesn‘t really work, I just made stronger, larger cups
* coffee that doesn‘t taste good - without sugar, mediocre brands, capsule machine - works somewhat to reduce consumption but requires discipline
* no coffee machine at home or at work - works well, though takeaway coffee can be very large/strong (300+ mg caffeine)
* caffeine pills - worked because the habit/taste is not a factor, so dosage was under control
What I haven’t tried but might work:
* have fixed times for coffee (e.g. 3 times a day, 8:00 11:00 15:00), if you’re the type of person with a very structured day
* decaf every other cup or similar
Good luck!
