What's a vampire's favorite coffee?

This little gag hinges entirely on some clever wordplay, spinning a familiar coffee term into something perfectly suited for our nocturnal friends (Review). The humor comes from taking "decaffeinated" – that everyday choice for a milder brew – and twisting it just enough to hint at a vampire's preferred sleeping arrangements. Instead of just removing the caffeine, it suggests a coffee that's been, well, coffinated, which is a delightfully silly image to conjure.

The real genius here is how it plays on the established lore of vampires. These creatures of the night are, by definition, undead. They're not exactly known for needing a morning pick-me-up; in fact, anything that makes them too lively or exposed to the world of the living (like, say, a jolt of caffeine) might be counterproductive to their whole mysterious, shadowy existence. So, a coffee that's already had its "life" taken out of it, and perhaps even reminds them of their cozy, eternal resting place, makes for a perfectly ironic, blood-free beverage choice.
