Growing up, my best friend and I loved to daydream about our future. We’d be married with a bunch of kids living in a huge house all together — because what preteens don’t think the idea of a 24/7 sleepover sounds amazing?

Poor decaf coffee can’t catch a break. Coffee enthusiasts often dismiss it as “not real” coffee simply because the caffeine has been removed. But even as the bar for coffee — both regular and decaf — rises, the methods of decaffeinating coffee actually haven’t changed much.
