Decaffeinated coffee is readily available in most shops and cafes, and generally has 90-99 per cent of the caffeine removed, reducing the level down to well below that of a cup a black tea.
Sadly, most decaffeinated coffee is made from old or poor quality green beans, and often comes darkly eoasted to cover up the unpleasant flavors. If you find a supplier that decaffeinates fresh, good quality green coffee beans and roasts them well, the flavour will not be compromised. You may not be able to tell the difference between regular and decaf and can enjoy it without any ill effect.
