I'm (was) a coffee nut, I LOVED the BEAN... , but I kicked the habit. After reading somewhere that it only takes 2 weeks to get over the effects of caffeine withdrawal (all of you addicts know what I mean, after 12 hours without a coffee, it's motrin pain baby). But here's the thing, I now drink decaf, and I don't even notice the difference anymore. Except when I go to my usual coffee spot and ask for a large decaf, the staff just stare at me in disbelief. Anyway, I just thought I'd throw it out there. BTW, I take an artificial sweetener in my coffee, and I like it more!
