I had the same process as you (see my comment) and it was much better than quitting it cold turkey.
I've quit from daily 3-4 shots of espresso to only drinking it when I feel like it, which is about once every two weeks. The process was mostly without discomfort: I bought decaf beans and started cutting my coffee…

Slightly annoying that the magnified parts are directly over their original location. This blocks the view to see them in their original size and context.
This one would be much faster than the plustek though, if they keep their promises. I use a 8200. It takes more than 1 hour to scan a 36 frame color negative with dust removal on, and it requires constant manual input.…
RIP Bioware. This will probably be the final stage of its long, painful death.
