Re: decaf coffee
 

Same here.

A bit like non-alcoholic beer or wine....pointless.

Milk, no sugar, and as strong as a mule's kick, suits me.:D

I drink instant coffee very rarely, but when I do I tend to have decaf. I drink Carte Noire at the moment, which I find is the nicest decaf.

To be honest, I think that most instant coffee is rubbish anyway.

Re: decaf coffee
 

De-caf is useless for the early morning bowel evacuation :eek: ;)

Re: decaf coffee
 

I admit to being a coffee addict. I can't see the point of taking the caffeine out of coffee.

I have 3 gadjets for brewing from ground coffee (expresso, mocha and cafetiere) and have 2 varieties of instant coffee for when I can't wait to get a caffeine fix.

My blood pressure is normal - it is not wise to drink as much as I do if you have high blood pressure.

I also drink ordinary tea and herbal/fruit teas. I am one of those people who is forever brewing up.

I don't drink any 'soft drinks' (make my own juices from fruit).

Re: decaf coffee
 

I hate coffee!
Think its too bitter and strong,give me a good cup of tea any day of the week!

Re: decaf coffee
 

Have to agree Rindi the stronger the better for me too, but I use sweatner myself, aint used sugar for 20 years now, but can't drink it neat

I even have de caf tea and use splenda. No one i brew up for has ever commented on it. As for substitute kicks i dont need one as i an daft enough without stimulants!

Re: decaf coffee
 

I found out this about Splenda-
Energy (caloric) content

Though marketed in the U.S. as a “No calorie sweetener,” Splenda actually contains slightly more calories than the same mass of sugar (391 kcal per 100 g vs 390 kcal per 100 g for white granulated sugar).[5] When sucralose is added directly to commercial products, the filler is omitted and no calories are added.

Note too that although the “nutritional facts” label on Splenda’s retail packaging state that a single serving of 1 gram (1 teaspoon or 5 milliliters) contains zero calories, Splenda actually contains two calories per teaspoon.[6] Such labeling is appropriate in the U.S. because the FDA’s regulations permit a product to be labeled as “zero calories” if the “food contains less than 5 calories per reference amount customarily consumed and per labeled serving.”[7] Because Splenda contains a relatively small amount of sucralose, little of which is metabolized, virtually all of Splenda’s caloric content derives from the highly fluffed dextrose or maltodextrin filler, or carrier, that gives Splenda its volume. Like other carbohydrates, dextrose and maltodextrin have 4 calories per gram.

from this page-
sucralose: Definition and Much More from Answers.com

It has more calories than sugar so why use it?:confused:

Re: decaf coffee
 

I would love to be able to drink coffee but I am allergic to is.

We do have a jar of cafe direct decaf for visiors and it smells gorgeous. People usually think it iordinary ground coffee!

It might have more for the same mass but it's mass for sweetness is much less. 1 teaspoon of sugar is 5g, one teaspoon of splenda is less than 1g so its still less calories. Also i tend to use the tiny tablets rather than granulated as the carb content is less.
