Love the taste and ritual of coffee, but not how caffeine makes you feel? You’re not alone.
For many people, coffee is more than a morning drink. It’s the aroma, warmth, and familiar routine. But if coffee leaves you feeling jittery, restless, or overstimulated, you may be looking for a better option.
The good news is that you don’t have to give up the coffee ritual entirely. A naturally caffeine-free alternative can still give you a warm, roasted drink to enjoy in the morning or evening.
Is Decaf Coffee Caffeine-Free?
Decaf coffee can reduce your caffeine intake while keeping some of the flavour of traditional coffee. However, decaf is not completely caffeine-free.
An average 8 oz cup of decaffeinated brewed coffee contains approximately 3 mg of caffeine, according to Health Canada. That may be low enough for some people, but those who are especially sensitive to caffeine may prefer a naturally caffeine-free drink.
What Is the Best Caffeine-Free Coffee Alternative?
There are several coffee alternatives made from roasted roots, grains, and seeds. Popular options include chicory root, roasted barley, and roasted rice.
Roasted jasmine rice is a particularly simple and naturally caffeine-free option. When roasted, jasmine rice develops warm, toasted notes that create a smooth, coffee-style beverage without using coffee beans.
Inafi Coffee is made from roasted jasmine rice in small batches in Hamilton, Ontario. It’s designed for people who enjoy the ritual of brewing coffee but want a caffeine-free alternative.

How Does Roasted Rice Coffee Taste?
Roasted rice coffee has its own flavour profile. It doesn’t taste exactly like traditional coffee, but it offers a smooth, toasted, and comforting experience.
You can enjoy it black, add milk or a plant-based alternative, or serve it over ice. Its mild flavour also makes it easy to customize with sweeteners or spices.
How Do You Brew Inafi?
You can prepare Inafi using a French press, drip coffee maker, or pour-over brewer.
For a simple French press preparation:
-
Add 1–2 tablespoons of Inafi to your French press.
-
Pour in 8 oz of hot water.
-
Steep for 3–5 minutes.
-
Press slowly and serve.
Enjoy it black or add milk for a creamier drink.
Can You Drink It at Night?
Yes. Because Inafi is naturally caffeine-free, it can be enjoyed in the evening without adding caffeine to your routine.
Try a warm cup after dinner, while reading, or whenever you want a comforting drink without the stimulation of coffee.
A New Way to Enjoy Your Coffee Ritual
Choosing a caffeine-free alternative doesn’t mean giving up the parts of coffee you enjoy. You can still brew a warm drink, enjoy the aroma, and take a quiet moment for yourself.
