What’s on your coffee bench?

Who knows. I have actually been genetically tested for caffeine metabolism and came back as having the "Hyper Metabolizer" enzyme but I think that actually makes me get a big rush and then lose the effect of the caffeine faster than others. But who knows cause I only know how I feel. (Just got a free panel for a whole bunch of genetic stuff and took it out of curiosity)

I can't really remember but I do think decaf is less upsetting of my stomach but hard to say. I think you can still have a really acidic decaf.

I don't have decaf very often. Though I will say George Howell's decaf from Colombia is pretty dang good:
