Common after-dinner coffee preference (5)

I believe the answer is:

decaf

(Other definitions for decaf that I've seen before include "Coffee without the kick?" , "Type of coffee" , "Style of coffee" , "Non-alcoholic drink" , "Cup substitute missing kick" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
