Advantages: smells and tastes like coffee without keeping you up

Disadvantages: doesn't keep you up

It's surprising really how many people drink coffee purely for the caffine...hot black coffee in the morning before lectures I honestly can't see the appeal, that doesn't wake you up it just does nasties to the inside of your body!!!

As a student my flatmates were sickened to find that my coffee is in fact de-caf, I mean where's the point in that??? Wont sober you up and it wont keep you awake, well actually when i drink coffee I drink it for the taste I actually like coffee...

Some de caf coffee looks a lighter brown it is bitty and doesn't have the rich full flavour as the stuff that keeps you up all night, others just don't taste the same, usual coffee can be less bitter than de-caf and smell stronger, has a deeper richer brown colour and is generally more appealing. My mother introduced me to this caffine free alternative she appears to be utra caffine sensitive it makes her shake and she can;t sleep at night even if the offending cup of coffee was at 12:00 mid day. This alternative you can never tell the difference, my dad being a big strong man takes on the caffine...he says the de-caf stuff is rubbish but when at home if I ever make them drinks I always use the de-caf, why get out 2 jars when you can use one, he never notices and often says it's good. Trust me if you are used to any instant coffee I dubt you would ever notice the difference if you switched to this, except perhaps sleeping would be easier and your heart can keep a steady normal beat.

For a coffee the instant granuals do look a lighter colour for being de-caffinated but do not be alarmed it doesn't make a light pathetic attempt at the drink, it has a good strong rich aroma, and below the stay fresh seal, theres a strong full flavour ready to escape.

With it being an instant mix you can just shove it n a cup pour boiling water on and stir, ot it also works in these coffee making machine things, to make expresso, or have milk or
cream on top...gorgeous...whatever it disolves completely and you'd never know you had started with a tea spoon full of granuals in the cup....

a big full mug of coffee, whipped cream and a sprinkle of dark chocolote...perfect...

Obviously an instant coffee can't rival the actual beans being turned to coffee on the spot but it does a good job, it has a lovely taste and a smooth, warming texture with a full body and good taste...NO BITTER AFTER TASTE and little to no sugar is required.

Makes and excellent cup of coffe without the fuss of all the beans and without the consequences of caffine, quick and very simple

Here's a tip for some office fun and games:

If you have a communal kitchen area with a supply of instant coffee, secretly swap it for decaf. Leave it for a month or so, then once everyone's gotten over their caffeine addiction, swap it again for Rocket Fuel or some other hyper-caffeinated coffee...

Like alcohol-free beer, decaff coffee always has me asking "what is the point?"
