Can regular coffee drinkers notice the difference taste-wise? I’m the opposite of a coffee connoisseur and I drink any kind of brewed and instant coffee (including decaf) and can’t tell the difference.
Side by side, trying one after the other. I can tell they taste different. But walking into a place blind, and only getting one. I think it might be hard to tell.
Side by side you’ll notice the little kick depending on strength. But you’d likely be full placebo none the wiser.
I was at a concert drinking my fourth beer, getting nicely buzzed when someone told me those were alcohol-free and I just sobered up instantly. It was awful.
But decaf is like…the same price or more because of additional manufacturing costs to remove the caffeine content from the beans.
They still sold more of it, easily making up for the slightly higher cost.
