Caffeine estimate
Approximately 0-18mg (a serving of decaffeinated coffee as bought from a shop).
Inferred, not independently verified — The span reported by studies of shop-bought decaffeinated coffee, read from their abstracts: from none detected to just under 18 mg in a serving. It is not calculated from a dose. Decaffeinated coffee is not always free of caffeine.
Brewing method
