Decaf it yourself!

No more shakes, no more "all we have without caffeine is Sprite." This development sounds very fine but I'm a little skeptical. And I wonder what all those molecules look like. I don't suppose you could see them with the naked eye. Schade (too bad).

From Business Week:

Do-It-Yourself Decaf
The DeCaf Co. says it can "stir" away the caffeine jitters. Can the outfit sell its concept to beverage giants and java junkies?

...The DeCaf Co., a San Francisco startup that has proven that the technology can indeed be used to extract caffeine from coffee, tea, or sodas. It has come up with a wand-like instrument that bears a resemblance to a tongue depressor and lets the holder literally "stir" the caffeine out of a drink. One spin around the cup for half-caf, and another to take out more—up to 70%, according to the company's research. Caffeine-hungry polymers coat the stick, grabbing and pulling the hyped-up molecules out of the drink.
