Always thought I wouldn’t like it and didn’t see the point.

And then I got some nice decaf beans and holy shit. This is great. I can have coffee in the evening now as a beverage to enjoy.

I know this is obvious. But if you like speciality coffee, and you wish you could drink more without a panic attack, then I think trying some decaf roasts is a big brain move.

Now whipping out the Aeropress in the evening is my highlight.

I think when I last looked at decaf it was basically just the supermarket brands and the coffee sucked (cause it was supermarket coffee). Now that I’m looking around there is a decaf roast at almost all local roasters.

    If you haven’t tried L-theanine it might be useful for you as a way to avoid panic attacks.

    You can get it naturally if you drink tea instead of coffee, but if you prefer coffee you can use L-theanine to prevent the anxiety from overcaffeination.
