Oh dear! Morning coffee is very important! Essential even! I don't even consider myself conscious until I've had at least one latte!

I can't drink coffee with my SSRI and antipsychotic, it makes me meltdown, and I love iced coffee.

@Tony Ramirez Iced coffee is SO GOOD when done right! But I prefer the classic hot coffee because... I don't even know why... reasons I guess? Yes, let's say it's because of "reasons and stuff"
Tony Ramirez
I know but I heard even decaf has caffeine.
MildredHubble
Decaf might have a small amount of caffeine. It all depends on your sensitivity to it. I have a very bad time on SSRIs and oddly enough after being a bit of a connoisseur of coffee, I couldn't drink it at all while on SSRIs or I'd be extremely anxious and distressed. It might be possible to find some sort of coffee substitute though

Maybe tea? I like tea as well and it has no caffeine and it tastes yummy, although some tea does have caffeine but I think green tea doesn't have caffeine or chamomile or spearmint... I wonder if lemongrass tea has caffeine?... Maybe you could make your own iced tea and sweeten it with honey!
Tony Ramirez
My friends suggested tea, but I never liked it no taste unless it's sweetness green tea. BTW, the only tea I drink is green tea.

Green tea is SO GOOD! Maybe you can make your own iced green tea? IDK I mean iced tea is basically regular tea that has been sweetened, I like spearmint (I think it's spearmint in English) but I drink it hot because I'm too impatient for iced tea

I had a look around online and there's some mushroom based coffee alternatives that people say are good and then there's some Chicory options. To be honest, I think chicory is horrid and most instant coffee in the UK has been gradually becoming more chicory than coffee thanks to shrinkflation

Mushroom coffee is also very icky, it tastes like mushrooms (the ones you put on pizza) and it's very icky
MildredHubble
There are so many ads and sponsors on YouTube exalting the virtues of Mushroom coffee that I thought maybe they'd found some amazing coffee tasting mushroom culture, but if its icky, I don't think I'll be in a rush to try it
IXxTchxXI
I mean, it's icky to me but maybe you'll like it if you like mushrooms... Wait I like mushrooms... But not the taste of mushrooms blended with my coffee... Yuck!
Maybe try a sample one day! I bet they have samples! @MildredHubble

I kinda do like mushrooms but, yeah, they probably won't work for me in coffee either. I kinda hoped that mushroom coffee might be like those beyond meat burgers or imposiburgers, except coffee shaped if that makes sense
IXxTchxXI
Ohhhh I really like those burgers!

Lol! Or "I can't believe its not better!"

Mushroom coffee, I heard of it. It has no caffeine.
MildredHubble
I got a Dolce Gusto coffee maker. I tried some of the decaf. It was actually quite good. It may be worth asking the manufacturer of the coffee pods how much caffeine is left after the extraction process. I didn't notice any caffeine buzz personally and a tasty decaf coffee might be a way of enjoying fewer coffees and less caffeine intake?
