Here’s the headline: caffeine is the star of the show. Regular coffee keeps it. Decaf? It’s been evicted. But not completely—don’t be fooled.
Decaf still has a tiny squirt of caffeine, about 2 to 5 milligrams per cup. Regular packs around 95 milligrams. So, decaf isn’t a zero. It’s more like a whisper instead of a shout.
Why does that matter? Because your brain barely notices the whisper. You get the ritual without the jitters.
