D+caf: The caffeine detector

I love coffee. It makes me do stupid things faster with more energy!

But for those who are cautious about their caffeine intake, comes a new product that can test if you’re drinking real coffee instead of decaf.

D+caf test strips are simply little strips of paper coated with antibodies. You take the test strip and you dunk it in the coffee and it takes a minute to let you know if it’s decaf or not. The antibodies in the strip produce colored lines if the sample contains caffeine.

The strips are 98 percent accurate for detecting caffeine, plus you have to use them before you add anything else to your beverage, like milk or sugar.
