Two or three weeks before I have to stop drinking coffee. What should I have before then? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I make aeropress at home, been my go-to for years. My taste in beans never really left the 90s though I do enjoy a fruity brew once in a while.

I know where the best dry cortado w/ oat-milk is in the Minneapolis - St Paul area.

A soft spot for a not-too-sweet miel.

Help me plan my "can't regret not doing that" coffee list?

Edit to answer some similar questions all at once: I'm not going to talk about my medical situation here, but yes, it was at the advice of a doctor. Decaf is a possibility, but I e been down that road before and it tastes like disappointment, even with today's improvements; maybe once in a while, though.

If it is any reassurance, it's a fairly brief and mild withdrawal. In my experience the symptoms were gone by day 3, which was a lot easier than the 7 solid days of hell I went through when quitting nicotine.

For me the withdrawal symptoms only start on day 2, I can do one day without caffeine just fine, but then it lasts ~3 days. Wouldn't call it mild though, I had some really severe headaches. On the other hand side I never used any other addictive substances, so I wouldn't be able to compare.

I quit drinking caffeine earlier this year and, despite having lower anxiety across the board and more of a work ethic, I got in a car accident for the first time in 25 years of driving.

Now I’m skeptical that I’m back to normal when the withdrawal wears off. I’ve been drinking coffee since I was 8 years old, and I think my brain is very adapted to it
