half-caf
Partial caffeine coffee
Half-caf describes coffee made with a blend of regular and decaffeinated beans, giving roughly half the caffeine of a standard cup.
Common in café orders: I'll have a half-caf latte.
The term reflects the desire for coffee's taste and ritual without the full stimulant effect.
