So, does anyone know just how much caffeine there is in decaf coffee? 
We brew up some every afternoon, and it seems to have some kick.

Coffee fries my brain so I occasionally drink Decaf. I have also discovered that Decaf has some kick to it though... generally it is low enough that I am still functional though.

I think it is like 0-5 mg or something.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I think it matters very much which process is used to decaffeinate the coffee.
For example, the Swiss Water process (above) removes a lot more caffeine than methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, if I remember properly my cafe training.
According to the Wiki page, you still get around 10mg of caffeine (about 10% of regular coffee's 100mg) in the average cup of decaf, but it varies wildly based on where you get it. I suspect a lot of the cafe-bought coffees (Starbucks, Dunkin's) have caffeine because they use one machine to process both regular and decaf coffee beans - hence, some caffeine is in the oils left from grinding the earlier beans. I don't know if that's enough to explain all of the caffeine, but certainly some of it. You're probably better off doing it at home (where contamination is not a risk, and you have more heavily regulated retail packagers providing you the bans).
If you want true decaf, get tea. Plenty of teas are naturally decaffeinated. Or caffeine-free soda.

What do you mean by this? Caffeine isn't the least bit neurotoxic. Do you just mean you get too wired or anxious to focus on something?Originally posted by Jon Miller View PostComment

I basically run on coffee. Less than 3 cups a day is very rare for me.
Decaf is for the weak.
Snoop is right btw: The weak should look for Swiss Water Process beans.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
