You know, some people drink coffee because they like the flavour, not because they need caffeine :P (As a matter of fact, I consider caffeine to be an undesirable side-effect of delicious coffee...)

Coffee isn't the only natural source of caffeine, and yes, it can also be made synthetically.

It's especially unfortunate because decaf coffee is usually gross.
I've found decaf made with the Aeropress is actually surprisingly good. I usually only have a single cup of caffeinated and then follow up with a few cups of decaf.
Unsurprising when you look at the method they use for removing the caffeine.
Supercritical CO2 extraction is gross? The solvent evaporates without a trace.
And a lot of people love coffee but hate caffeine.
And some people, mysteriously, seem to be especially fond of the flavor just around the time they're struggling to wake up.
Try roasted okra seeds then.
