Hi! I'm another newbie and am also fighting the coffee demon. I really LOVE my java and it feels like my only real "luxury" right now. I grind my own beans every morning (coffee snob-sorry) so I went down to my roaster and got a pound of my favorite Guatemalan Fair Trade Shade Grown--only in the Decaf version. I mixed my remaining caf beans with decaf, and so now I am drinking half-caf. As the bean level goes down in the container, I mix in more decaf beans, so that I am gradually going decaf, but fairly painlessly. I'm sure you could accomplish this same thing with any brand/type of coffee you use. Heck, even Starbucks will pour you a half-caf if you ask! Good Luck, hang in there!
