Puzzles: decaf coffee

Intellectually, I understand the premise behind decaffeinated coffee (and Diet Coke and so on); but decaf java seems blasphemous to me. I can't drink coffee "just for the taste" (which is inferior in decaf) or out of habit or addiction (hence needing to ameliorate its attendant caffeine-induced symptoms). Yes, I practice moderation when it comes to coffee, but I love how my heartbeat accelerates just by walking into a coffeehouse and smelling the fresh roast. If you are ever in St. Paul, Minnesota, by the way, visit the family javerie Jerabek's New Bohemian Coffeehouse and Bakery, up on the bluffs south of downtown. Tell them Steve sent you.
