Why “Switch to Decaf” Never Goes Down Smooth

There’s always that one moment when someone looks you in the eye and says the words no coffee lover ever wants to hear: “Maybe you should switch to decaf.” It’s usually said kindly, but the reaction it triggers is the complete opposite. A tiny cough. A long blink. Maybe even a dramatic gasp. Because for a lot of us, that suggestion hits hard.

Coffee isn’t just caffeine. It’s a ritual. It’s the thing that gets the day moving. It’s the warm cup that makes early mornings manageable. Switching to decaf feels like being told to watch your favourite show on mute. Technically possible, but who wants that?

Most people don’t realise how deep the bond goes until they suggest cutting it out. There’s a reason “absolutely not” comes so naturally. And honestly, the playful disbelief is part of the fun. Coffee lovers know each other. There’s an unspoken agreement: let people enjoy the thing that makes their world run a little smoother.

At Just Love Coffee, we get it. We’ll never judge you for sticking with the real stuff. If anything, we’ll cheer you on while pouring your next cup. Life’s chaotic enough. Let the coffee stay strong.
