About Decaf Doug 

Why should we drink decaf coffee? Because when you get older you can't have caffeine all day. So you have to start with decaf, at least in the afternoon. And I suppose when you get older, have it at lunch. I personally like to have it at lunch because it is a more expensive bean to buy at the store but it's the same price at the restaurant. So that's why I like to have decaf at lunch.

Decaf shouldn't be 'dissed' because it truly is an essential coffee, and it's real coffee. So we're looking for temperature, flavor, and all the things we enjoy about coffee, except with less caffeine. There still is a little bit of caffeine though, so if you have caffeine allergies or something you still don't want to be drinking decaf. But it's a better alternative than coffee because you can drink it longer.

I'm in St. Paul so I am going to be reviewing a lot of St. Paul places. And when I go out for dinner I like to have non-stop coffee. So I expect refills included. The only time I don't is if I stop at a coffee shop for coffee and if I'm on the go. But if I'm out to dinner I want to get free refills on my coffee. So I'll be reviewing a lot in St. Paul, but will also will be reviewing some places in Northern Minnesota. And I will be doing some posts on making coffee at home too, so some posts about that. So that's the plan!

How should you interpret my rating system?

  1. Poor = 1 ☕️
  2. So-so = 2 ☕️
  3. Okay = 3 ☕️
  4. Pretty good = 4 ☕️
  5. Wow... this is better than regular = 5 ☕️ (!)
