  „For example, in one study caffeine given in the early morning had effects on the subsequent nights sleep (3) whereas in a second study consumption of caffeine at bedtime had no adverse effects on sleep the same night (4). One explanation for these individual differences is that habitual consumers of caffeine are less likely to report sleep disturbances than infrequent consumers of caffeine (5). Another explanation may be that tolerance to the effects of caffeine on sleep develops in habitual consumers (1) and there are no withdrawal effects when caffeine consumption is discontinued (6). Even when caffeine consumption produces sleep disturbances this may not be translated into changes in mood and performance the following day (7).“

  „It was noted that when adverse effects of caffeine on the infant are reported they tend to include irritability and a poor sleeping pattern. However, such effects were not found in infants whose mothers had a moderate intake of caffeinated beverages corresponding to 2 to 3 cups of coffee per day. Six studies of caffeine secretion into human breast milk have been published (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33). Although caffeine has been found in breast milk the concentrations were not great enough to have pharmacological effects (30).“

  „For example, caffeine may stay in the body of pregnant women for up to 3 times as long as is usual in adults, whereas smokers eliminate caffeine twice as quickly as non-smokers. This may help to explain why women often feel more sensitive to coffee in the latter stages of pregnancy, or why heavy smokers are usually heavy coffee drinkers as well. Some of the effects of caffeine, such as those on the heart and blood vessels, are contradictory and have no net effect - others may only be noticeable when regular consumers suddenly cut out caffeine. The body can become habituated to caffeine so that regular users are less sensitive to the stimulant effects than others.“

Espresso Blends

  „Decaf Espresso? Low-caffeine espresso? That is why we stock the Brazil SWP Decaf as a base. Use it as 50% of your blend to cut the caffeine in half, then add your main "character" coffees as usual.“

illy caffè North America

  „Some 1500 to 2000 papers per year have been published and we can assume that there are few products that we consume that have been so thoroughly and deeply studied. New research has shown that caffeine has many positive effects on the body—from improving concentration to fighting depression and reducing the risk of gallstones. But for the country's 107 million coffee drinkers, coffee is a pleasure, not a medicine, and for those who want a break from caffeine, illy provides the best tasting decaf available.“
