Fraud victim

[dusty3030]

Accidentally making some decaf then taking a big swallow it is worse than swallowing a bug. They shouldn't even call it coffee or allow it to be stored in the same area. It's a fraud.

Its a smell / taste combination you have to literally scrape out of your mouth - yickk.

I agree. I've never been able to figure out how to make that stuff taste good. Although, I know folks that prefer it over real coffee.

anyone remember Postum?


anyone here drink coffee with chicory?

 

[tcreeley]

I tried postum for a while trying to end my coffee habit, got tired of the taste. Black coffee was better, just had to drink less of it to prevent the shakes and headaches around noon after my 8th cup!
Now I keep it to 1- 1.5 cups a day, cream/demara sugar and cinnamon - almost like a meal! Don't crave anymore.

i think ( experts disagree ).. that coffe is still good for you, if not overdone. ( anti oxidants and other things ).

I will go for a max of 2 cups a day. about 4 days a week. or in other words an average of somewhere near 1 cup a day.

black with sucralose. or just black..

Postum tasted like Post-it notes.
Which came first?

I want my coffee to taste like coffee. Can't stand flavored coffee or decaf. Been drinking coffee since I was 14. (48 years) so far. Drink about 2 pots a day. Keeps me flushed out and regular. Just coffee with a little cream, no sugar. Stopped using sugar during the sugar embargo many years ago.

Coffee with chicory is like drinking asphalt. I am caffeine restricted, so we drink the 50/50 (half caf) put out by Folgers and I can't tell the difference, except it doesn't affect my heart.

 

[Soundguy]

chicory may help you with that overstimulant effect of caffeine

I agree, coffee should be coffee, even if it's half caf. I do half caf due to blood pressure.

I drink coffee every morning, usually just one, switched to decaf because caffeine raises blood pressure, did not detect any difference.( instant)

The last time I tried Postum was more than 50 years ago. Do they still make it. I didn't start drinking coffee until I was 24, but I used to sip a little coffee all day until about 5 p.m. And now I get up between 4 and 5:30 a.m. and drink 3 or 4 big cups the first 2 or 3 hours and then no more the rest of the day. And I don't use sugar or cream in my coffee.

Maybe its in my head but decaf coffee brewed or instant leaves a pungent funk in my mouth that if you can mentally picture the aftertaste of a mildew sandwich made on moldy bread or that funky funk of laundromat floor drains or any other musty stanky taste you can imagine. That is the bouquet of a cup of decaf coffee for me.

 

[dave1949]

It doesn't smell like coffee to me either. I never drink it.

 

[oldpilgrim]

My mother used to give my brother and I Postum when we were kids over 60 years ago. Never really got attached to it but it wasn't bad.

I drink on average about 2 cups of coffee per year. I don't think I've had any this year yet. No reason other than I don't really care for it.

I had my first cup when I was 16 on a camping trip with my uncle. He asked how I liked it. I said I don't. He said you'll get used to it. I asked why do I want to get used to it if I don't like it? If I hit my toe with a hammer, sooner or later I'll probably get used to it, but why do I want to?

I never got used to it.

Wife mistakenly grabbed some decaf K-cups at the store a while back ... horrid stuff ...
