I have been making a big effort to significantly reduce the amount of caffeine in my diet recently, which has proven to be rather difficult to achieve, mainly because I adore coffee, and enjoy indulging in several cups throughout the course of the day. I was concerned about my large caffeine intake having a bit of an adverse reaction to several aspects of my well-being, so made the decision to 'switch' around half the cups of deliciously rich coffee in my daily routine to those that are usually dreaded by most coffee lovers..... The decaffeinated kind. This 'switch' has seen me purchasing several brands of decaffeinated coffee to try out, as I wanted to try ...  Read the complete review

The green label should have given it away, really. Our work coffee seemed to have run out not that long ago, but when I spotted this jar on the shelf near the kettle no one else seemed that interested. To be honest, I didn't really think much of the weird glances I got when I said I was knackered and needed a caffeine boost while putting two teaspoons of these coffee granules in the mug and filling it with boiling water. As usual, I'd let the boiled water cool for a good few seconds, never liking the slightly burnt result boiling water can give coffee granules. The aroma came out and made me smile, a familiar quality smell that spoke of good coffee. A few sips ...  Read the complete review

I love my coffee but am starting to think I'm drinking too many drinks that have got caffeine in them, it's not affecting me all that much but I know I'm not sleeping very good at the minute and if I don't have a couple of strong cups of coffee in the morning I don't feel ready to start the day. It's kind of like an addiction and even though I love the taste of coffee I started trying some decaff brands to try and wean myself off it. I usually drink Kenco so it made sense for me to try their decaff first. It comes in the same jar but you'll know it because it's got a green lid and label, it's a bit more expensive but only a few pence and I'm not sure of the ...  Read the complete review

Kenco are one of the best instant coffees I think you can get. They produce Kenco smooth, rich and decaffeinated coffees. They also produce a variety of special coffees such as Colombian, Costa Rican and Rappor. Kenco decaffeinated coffee is basically made with the same Kenco coffee beans as the other varieties but with the caffeine removed. Caffeine is the so called bad bit in coffee which experts say too much is not good for you. It is a central nervous system stimulant which perks and wakes the body up, making you feel more alert, hence the cup of coffee first thing to give you a kick start. Packaging and cost: In supermarkets ...  Read the complete review

I used to be a big coffee drinker, at least until a few years ago when I went a bit 'perculiar'! (No rude comments, please!) After having all sorts of medical tests, (since it was thought that I may possibly have a brain tumour), my unexplained symptoms turned out to be nothing more sinister than an allergy to coffee. I stopped drinking it, and my symptoms disappeared.Sorted. Nowadays, I can get away with the occasional cup without too many problems, but I nearly always stick to tea. However, I missed my regular cups of coffee - there were times, such as after dinner, when only coffee would do.Decaffeinated coffee is allegedly better for health,since the ...  Read the complete review
