Very serious question
 

wth???:D

Does caffeine have a *flavor* ?

This guy just walks into the coffee bar (sry for another coffee bar at work thread) pours himself a cup of decaf (which I also dont understand), takes one sip and says "AUGH! This isn't decaf!" and pours the cup out and storms off.

I dun ever drink decaffeinated versions of anything that is usually caffeinated, and anything I drink that is decaffeinated has a vastly different flavor already (root beer, milk, sprite, etc...)

I have had both kinds of coffee and i can slightly taste the difference but i never thought of caffeine having a flavor o.o

Though "in its natural form, caffeine tastes very bitter. But most caffeinated drinks have gone through enough processing to camouflage the bitter taste."

hmmm

perhaps he was a "super taster"
...there is a They Might Be Giants song about them...

uhm...so...in its natural form? Where does caffeine come from? Never seen a caffeine bush :) Or do you mean extracted and purified or something?

-too tired to ask smart questions-

/goes to get *another* regular cup of coffee

I dont understand why people want a decaf coffee...

if u want something to wake u up, then no caffeine isnt gonna help..

if u want a healthier drink then have juice!

as for caffeine hving a taste... i hv no idea... LOL!

because people like the taste of coffee :confused:

I wouldn't know.


still, even decaf has some caffeine in it, just a lot less

couldnt agree more!

the three unsolved mysteries in life:
1. why ppl drink decaf coffee
2. non-dairy creamer
3. flotation stones in Islya

Kopi Luwak, anyone?

People who only drink de-caf claim that they can taste a difference. I'm not sure I would be able to.

Non-dairy creamer are so that those that are lactose-intolerant can still enjoy life's simple pleasures of cream in their coffee.

I heard about those. I am concerned for one who started the trend of using faeces for coffee, LOL.

lol...yeah I understand that:D

what I meant was...cream is a *dairy* product, so if its non-dairy, then wot is really inside?

sorta like fat-free mayonnaise ;) I mean something that is intrinsically fat and eggs...how can it be fat free? And if it is, what are you actually eating?
