      Would you drink coffee if it didn't contain caffeine?

      Some people drink coffee for the taste, but some do it for the energy boost in the morning (or whenever else they might need it).

      So... Given that all coffee wouldn't have caffeine, would you still drink it?

      Where's the "Yes, I'd still drink coffee, but not as much" option? :p
      (ie I sometimes drink it for taste, and sometimes for the energy boost)
      Also, I'd definitively keep mixing coffee with hot chocolate.

      It would only be half as enjoyable, though.

      I drink for taste and energy boost.

      So do most people.

      I'd probably switch to Red Bull.

      Oops, forgot that one. Just choose the closest option.

      Wheres the "drink Liquor/beer, if it didn't contain alcohol thread"? As far as coffee is concerned, it's all about the caffeine. I don't drink it daily, and wake up to it and all of that jazz. I'm a pretty casual coffee drinker, and the only reason why I'll normally it is because I've been up all night, and I have things to do the following day.

      I drink it for both too. No matter the energy content, if I don't like the taste, I wont drink it.
      That's why I drink "fancy" coffee.. flavored joe with lots of cream and sugar or Frappes and such.

      I take a caffeine pill every day when I wake up, though. If I need an extra boost, I usually just take another one $4. on pills that last almost all month, instead of $4. for one fancy drink at McD's

      If coffee had no caffeine then I'd just end up urinating constantly for no reason - I'm a bit like Akono, but I drink a whole lot of it once a week or so.

      I used to not enjoy coffee at all. After I started drinking a little when I discovered it was offered free at some stores and at a local credit union, I found the boost of energy to be very pleasant, but the taste to be horrific. I discovered recently I could make it go from awful to awesome with two shots of sugar added, and now I love it. I'd still drink it without the caffeine.

      I drink coffee because it's good and wakes me up. So yes, I would drink it if it had no caffeine.
