                                According to the National Coffee Association, decaffeination removes at least 97% of caffeine from coffee beans, but it is not completely caffeine-free. For most people, you would need to drink at least 10 cups of decaf to get the same caffeine kick as a single cup of regular coffee. However, this is not a precise science and depends heavily on the specific coffee and brewing method.
