Even though most of us coffee lovers could go cup-for-cup all day, drinking large amounts of caffeine isn’t that great for our bodies or minds. Many coffee drinkers have to limit their caffeine intake or even cut it out entirely, which can feel like a huge blow to your daily routine. Luckily, many coffee roasters offer high quality decaf options, and even half caff options.

Don’t worry, you really don’t have to forgo your delicious cup of coffee in the morning (or...afternoon). Here are tasty caffeine-free coffee options, plus a few half caff suggestions for when you’re somewhere in the middle.
