Honestly? A lot of people. Pregnant folks are often told to limit caffeine, but they still miss the ritual of a warm mug. People with acid reflux find decaf easier on the stomach. And then there’s us: the 8 PM coffee lovers who want to sit with a cup without hearing our own heartbeat.
My grandmother drinks decaf because regular coffee makes her "too chatty." I’ve seen her chatty. It’s not a bad thing, but she prefers to save her energy for arguing with the TV. Respect.

A Note on the Chemical Fear (Let’s Get Real)
Every time decaf comes up, someone in the room brings up methylene chloride like it’s poison. Look, the levels used and residues left are minuscule—smaller than what you’d find in a bag of potato chips. But if you’re paranoid, choose Swiss Water or CO2 processed beans. Your peace of mind is worth the extra dollar.
Personally, I think the real danger is the brown sludge at the bottom of a diner’s decaf pot. That’s the stuff of nightmares.
