Caffeine break

That place with the very generic company name sells **13** different decaf coffees! Plus a number of different unroasted decaf beans

What are they doing here?

I saw this in a video in the "about us" section of a coffee roaster website: {image} Is this how you "cup" green coffee?

Mobile or hotel room brewing?

That reminds me of a bushwalking trip I did in Tasmania. Lots of locals drink the water untreated as it's almost always safe to do so. There were water tanks at one camping area which were filled by rainwater. They had coarse strainers to keep out detritus but mosquito larvae were in this particular...

Mobile or hotel room brewing?

You might think that I am unaware of that but you're wrong. And while reaching for the improbable don't forget to include infectious prions in the mix. It's not completely impossible that someone with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease washed their underpants in your hotel kettle. Of course it happens. It's ...

That sucks. Well, better to have a normal heart rhythm though. What do you do in the morning instead of coffee? Cry? :-) Thanks for doing all the work to find a tasty decaf.

Mobile or hotel room brewing?

I can appreciate that point of view. You can never know. Same goes for so many things. Maybe somebody died in your hotel bed. Or maybe the last person in the room had a communicable disease.

Mobile or hotel room brewing?

It's whatever level of caution or paranoia one feels is appropriate since you can't really know what was done. At least you can look inside a kettle yourself

Mobile or hotel room brewing?

Bring an air mattress for the floor as it's best not to sleep in the beds either. People drool on their pillows. There could be bedbugs as well so probably you don't even want to sleep inside the room. Stay in your car in the parking lot

Caffeine break

That seems very sensible. Have you found any sort of substitute for a morning cup of coffee? When I first stopped consuming caffeine I didn't have any decaf on hand and tried a cup of miso soup in the morning. I love miso soup but it was not a substitute for coffee

You gave up even decaffeinated coffee?
