half-cafs
Partial caffeine drinks
Half-cafs are coffee drinks made with a mixture of regular and decaffeinated coffee, typically in equal parts.
The blend appeals to those who want some caffeine boost without the full jolt: I switched to half-cafs after my doctor told me to cut back.
Also spelled half-caffs.
Singular: half-caf.
