Afternoon Coffee

Instant coffee (before it went in the hot water).

I was still in my teens when I first became a coffee snob. My husband and I first met in line at a coffee shop. A few years ago, I learned that I was oversensitive to caffeine, and giving it up had very good effects for me. (It has also made getting up in the morning so much easier!) Even decaf has too much caffeine for me. I recently learned that decaf instant coffee has truly negligible caffeine (less than is in a serving chocolate). It's not a light-to-medium roast Kona made in a Technivorm, but at least one brand is much better than coffee I used to tolerate in a pinch. I'm enjoying a new ritual of post lunch coffee lately.
