decaf coffee

Stimulant-free morning drink

Decaf coffee is coffee made from beans that have had most of their caffeine removed.

The term is slightly redundant—decaf alone usually means decaffeinated coffee—but the full phrase appears often enough: I'll have a decaf coffee.

People order it when they want the taste without the stimulant effect.
