Organic Ethiopian Sidamo Swiss Water Decaf

Excellent in my Cappuccino machine, whether I’m making a cappuccino or a cup of drip coffee. . My doctor told me to cut back on caffeine, so I opted for half caf beans. Lovely flavor. I’ll definitely order this blend again. Since it’s only half caffeinated, my doctor approved, for now. The bag is well sealed, and the price was decent comparatively. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a good organic blend at a reasonable value.

This is one of four decaf coffees I have tried which have been prepared using this water based method and sold by Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC - Mexican, Colombian, Sumatra and Indian Monsooned. I am very very pleased with the result. With the exception of the Indian, all three of the other coffees form this company prepared by this method, while of different flavor being different coffee beans, are excellent in flavor and quality. All of them were shipped with the roast date/exp date so I have an idea of how recently they were roasted. The Indian Monsooned, had no date, and had other differences from the other three which made me wonder if I had a bad batch. When compared to a high quality non-decaf coffee bean the roasted beans have noticeably less 'coffee odor', but when prepared as French Press or Espresso all of these decaf roasts (done with this water method of decaf) have had excellent coffee flavor and lots of Crema. I intend to get these again and try other flavors from the same company decaf from the same process. EDIT March 03 2015: The ones I first tried from this company (Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC) were the Colombian, Sumatra, and the Mexican SWP Decaf coffees. I have since also tried the Indian Monsoon decaf from the same company. The Indian Monsoon did not have a roast date or an expiration date, but it had a good aroma to the beans. However, it has a very fleeting (although good) flavor and absolutely no Crema whatsoever (see review PHOTO). I prefer the Mexican, then the Colombian and Sumatra and the Indian last of the four Decafs. The first three of them are really great, but the Indian has a shorter lived and less pronounced flavor than the other three so I do not like it quite as much. I will most certainly buy again all four of them, as they are all good in their own way with the Colombian being exceptional. I have also now tried four other Decafs prepared with supposedly a similar water based process, but I have not found them to have the same flavor as these - although some are close. I prepare all of them with an Insulated French Press which keep the brew temperature within about 203 to 193 during the brew process, and I do not add anything to the coffee (not milk, sugar, or anything else). I get Coffees I like with anything from about 20 to 30 grams per 12 to 16 oz of water. If I am comparing one coffee to another I will measure exactly, but normally I'll just grind about 25g give or take and use about 13 to 15 oz of water. I have yet to get a result that isn't great with these coffees. p.s. I use decaf coffee because it helps with blood glucose levels - and caffeine does the opposite.

Mellow but rich flavor being a half calf provides no caffeine jitters. Great coffee.

Really good flavor but not a lot of it. Aroma is incredible. I still might purchase again in future

Liked the coffee very much. Very rich and good hazelnut flavor which I like.

Great taste

I am in love with this coffee, so smooth and tasty.

This decaf coffee has pretty good flavor and aroma. I made a mistake and bought a large bag, I hope its flavor will last.
