Decaf coffee suggestions

[Richard Chrz]

I am going to try and kick caffeinated coffee for a bit. I’m leaning towards making some of my own broths to consume, but I sure do love a stronger flavor coffee with heavy cream. Hoping to find some recommendations. Thank you in advance.

I've been roasting green coffee beans for the last 6 months or so. I use the SR800 fluid bed roaster from Fresh Roast. With this little roaster I roast 228g of green beans every 3-4 days. That keeps me supplied with enough fresh roasted coffee beans to feed my 3 cup a day routine. Two cups of regular, one in the morning and one after lunch swapping to decaf for my after dinner cup.

Recently discovered that EA-processed decaf coffee tastes remarkably like caffeinated coffee. My latest favorite is the Colombia Excelso EA decaf from Captain's Coffee https://thecaptainscoffee.com/collec...40375226564697

My recommendation? Don't do it.

When I was all gung ho on coffee, I used to get my fix here:

Sweet Maria’s

They got the caf, they got the decaf, they got the green beans and they got the roasted beans.

[Robermax]

Agree with sweet marias, I have roasted reg and decaf for years from them.

No caffeine ? Huh? And still wanna drink coffee? Huh?

[Richard Chrz]

I can't be the only person who enjoys coffee for the flavor.

[DavidNorcross]

I am pulling for you Richard. I just can't do it.....

[Andrrr]

I only need the caffeine on work days. Looking forward to hearing everyone’s suggestions

I make a custom half blend with medium dark roast Sumatra regular & Decaf from Woodshed Roasting Company. I actually enjoy the decaf as much as the blend. They offer free shipping with orders over $70.

My suggestion would be to switch to something else, like decaf tea. Not that decaf coffee is bad, but if you're forcing a habit switch steeping a tea bag is relaxing

[Richard Chrz]

I did switch over to some herbal we have in the house. I am not sure I want a second thing of coffee in our house, and do not want to make my wife switch. So, tea it may be.

The past year we like a more Full Bodied Coffee and do drink some DeCaff Coffee. Black Rifle is readily available in our area and has a DeCaff that's pretty good. We've found a few others that are locally roasted that are stronger tasting and also good.

[texastweeter]

Because the process to remove the caffeine from the beans is very expensive, most coffees use the cheapest beans they can to keep the margin similar to regular coffee at the same price point. If buying decaf, get the most expensive you can if you want the best chance at a decent cup.

[barelfly]

Any shops around you that roast their own beans that you could give a try? And provide them some of your excellent truffles or bread bakes?

I’ve enjoyed getting to know some of the roasters in my home town and have found some great beans, decaf included for the late afternoon, evening caps I make.

Alternatively, the interwebs, I’ve yet to order decaf so can’t provide a recommendation there. Klatch Coffee was pretty good the few bags or regular that I’ve ordered though.

[Richard Chrz]

Great idea on checking our local roasters. thank you

Modest Coffee still has tons of decaf left. I am certain it is good stuff for decaf.

That’s a good suggestion. I enjoyed that coffee.

I am a big fan of Volcanica decaf blends. I drink a bunch since i like coffee and just cant pound caffeine like the old days.

I have tried their peru, papau new guinea, and sumatra offerings and like them all, peru being my favorite. Its a medium roast so you might want something darker based on your post.
