Does Decaf Coffee Have Caffeine?
Yes, decaf coffee still has a small amount of caffeine, but far less than regular coffee. An 8-ounce cup usually has about 2 to 7 mg, compared with 80 to 120 mg in a regular cup. The decaf process removes most of the caffeine from the beans, but not all of it.
That makes decaf a good choice for people who are sensitive to caffeine or who want less later in the day. For most people, the small amount is not enough to cause jitters or sleep trouble. Very sensitive people may still notice mild effects. Overall, decaf coffee gives you the taste of coffee with much less stimulant effect.
