UNCOVERED: Half caff is the emerging coffee trend for the perennially over caffeinated but can my espresso maker actually make one - Caught on Camera

A coffee machine close up with a mug, a milk jug and a tree in the background.

I've recently upped my coffee machine game with a new espresso maker, but can I make a confession? My caffeine tolerance is actually pretty low. You're actually more likely to find me with something a little less caffeinated than an espresso (think a matcha latte or hojicha, right now), but I don't totally get the point of decaf. I still want a little bit of a kick, just not the feeling of my heart beating out of my chest.

Well, it seems like I'm not the only one. There's a growing micro-trend in the coffee world for 'half caff', which, in its name, is pretty self-explanatory. It's about half the amount of caffeine of your usual coffee.
