Yep. And the hit after a break is more pleasant rather than mind blowing. I tend to have regular breaks from it. I think it’s probably the best way to moderate coffee/caffeine intake.

I definitely go days where I completely omit any sort of caffeine, But it's usually no more than 48 hours because that seems to be my limit before the debilitating headache sets in.
I need to plan a five-day stretch where I can completely detox. Like Thursday Friday, go without caffeine, have a really shitty weekend and hopefully by Monday be better.
Decaf can help here. But it is literally brown water, just with a familiar flavour.
Yeah same. Two day breaks seem to be the moderation norm. Not too hard to kick it entirely, but I also like that flavour, especially post meal. I think humans are meant to have a caffeine intake. It’s one of the fascinating things about life and how everything is connected. The mere fact that a plant can affect the physiology of a mammal points to a common shared ancestry IMO.
