If you think your are for GM coffee... keep in mind they are trying to grow a type of coffee without caffeine! So, think again(tm). It might be different if they were trying to double the caffeine."

    Louisa's Bakery and Cafe in Seattle (on eastlake) call a double tall non-fat decaf latte a "why bother." I love hearing them yell orders, single short mocha, double tall non-fat and two "why bothers" to go.

    Best damn omelettes anywhere, IMO, too....

    A caffeine free cup of coffee just isn't right. It's kind of like combustion-free motor oil, scandal-free whitehouse, defect-free Windows, or troll-free slashdot.

    It's just not natural.

    it could wipe out caffeinated coffee.

    Before you flame or down-mod me as being anti-GM or anti-futurist, review the facts and double-check the counter claims and rebuttals.
