Kicking Horse Coffee, Swiss Water Process, Whole Bean, 2.2 Pound - Organic Whole Bean Coffee Decaffeinated

I think I have ordered this over almost 10 times now? The quality and freshness is basically impossible to beat for decaf coffee. And I have looked extensively. I drink decaf elusively due to a caffeine sensitivity but I just love the taste of coffee. I also am somewhat health paranoid so I only drink coffee that is decaffeinated using water. (no chemicals). This coffee checks all my boxes. It tastes absolutely delightful, uses swiss water decaffeination, and is also somehow the most affordable out there?! Everywhere else I look, sellers want over $2.00/oz. This is roughly $1.40/oz and, as of writing this, it is randomly on sale for $0.99/oz. This is a no brainer folks! As far as taste, what keeps me coming back is that it is the right amount of complex and simple. Some coffees do have a wonderfully complex and exotic taste. But as much as I am a thrill seeker, I don't really like to daily drive those types of coffees. However I certainly do not want Folgers in my cup in the morning. This has a really universally appealing profile in my opinion. It's rich, medium to dark, chocolatey, smooth, and has low acidity when brewed correctly. I am a pour-over kind of person which means I get to screw up my variables from time to time and enjoy some of the hidden character of the coffee. I am not a coffee master by any means but compared to what I have tried, this is quite resilient to bitterness. I have done an accidental 20-minute immersion steep with this coffee and the result was surprisingly enjoyable. Bitter, yes, but very rich and textured and pretty fun. I drank the whole cup! Something IMPORTANT to note. This is by far the best coffee I have tried for Iced-Coffee in the summer, hands down. I do not know what it is, but other coffees, even those expensive and niche ones, just don't take a cold brew quite like this one. A cold-brew of this with some cream and just a dash of sugar tastes like the most expensive chocolate bar you've ever drank. It is seriously good. I really hope they keep this coffee and keep it competitively priced because I will be getting it for the foreseeable future.

I love all of the Kicking Horse coffees. My favorite is actually the Decaf. This is the first Decaf I have tasted that tastes like a caffeinated cup. I often brew it for my family and they can't tell it is Decaf. I have made it in a Drip, French Press and Pour Over, it tastes great every time. It has a comfort quality that makes it great anytime of day or night. It is reasonably priced. It is great black or with a creamer of your choice, I use an Italian Sweet Cream that makes the coffee have a creamy taste that doesn't overpower that coffee notes. It is a great coffee that has a high end taste at grocery store prices. I highly recommend it.

Great full body flavor. Purchased first time, great to find decaf w/cold water processing. Coffee is gettin more expensive. Seems like, this is kinda high. But finding decaf coffe beans is difficult in regular stores, so finding it online was a plus for me. Using for pour over process, resuting in a good strong cup. Just based on taste along. Cost is another issue.

This decaf coffee is truly the best I have ever tasted. It boasts an incredible aroma that fills the room and an equally remarkable taste that lingers on the palate. Initially, I was hesitant and a bit hectic about making the purchase, unsure if it would meet my expectations. However, I am extremely glad I decided to buy this coffee. It is absolutely amazing, and the quality is outstanding, far surpassing any other decaf options I have tried in the past.

Love this coffee. It is so smooth and has a great flavor. There is absolutely no bitterness. All summer I have been making cold brew and it has been perfect. And I love that it is decaf.

Great flavor, smell, freshness, organic coffee. I highly recommend this coffee to everyone who focuses on staying healthy & alert.

Have already ordered my second shipment. This brand is delicious. Was never able to drink decaf as most I’ve tried were terrible. I am picky about having the Swiss water process and organic beans, so this fits my needs. Not as expensive as some others out there, but definitely not cheap either, but because it it both organic and Swiss water decafed, I am willing to pay a bit more. Update: Okay, so my third order, I went for the larger 2.2 pound package since I liked it so much. This time there was a noticeable difference in the appearance of the beans. They looked much darker and had a slightly burnt nose to them. I often make a blend of decaf and regular coffee so I am hoping my regular coffee will subdue any off-flavor from these over roasted beans. I do however sometimes make a full decaf cup and I’m not sure I am going to enjoy this. Yes, it’s a dark roast, I get that, but there is such a thing as over roasting. My regular coffee is a dark roast, but it’s no where near the darkness of this particular bag. I also realize there is a science to roasting and sometimes there can be variations in the way the bean responds, so maybe this was a “one-off” batch. I may order again since I know the first two times were great, but also may try another brand depending on how long it takes me to get through this big bag. ( I am the only coffee drinker in my house, but I vacuum pack my beans in mason jars in amounts I use up within a week to keep them fresher). Another option would be to get a medium roast to blend to soften the taste a bit. Time will tell.

We love this coffee. It has a great flavor, not too strong, not too weak. Great for iced coffee too. We use it in our Jura coffee maker. I never purchase coffee out anymore. My coffee at home is too delicious.

Surprisingly pleasant taste, really dark beans, worked well for espresso (I can't drink caffeine but I enjoy coffee flavor).

Sigo manteniendo mi afirmación 10 de 10 Es lo mejor que he probado hasta ahora No irrita el estómago No deja sabor amargo en la boca Es realmente una bendición

Excelente café sabroso elaborado con granos orgánicos, lo que significa que no contiene químicos tóxicos provenientes del proceso Suizo de descafeinado con agua. [En ingles - Excellent tasty coffee from organic beans, meaning no toxic chemicals from the Swiss water decaff. process!]

Amazing coffee and the Swiss water process to decaffeinate the coffee is the best. Smooth taste and no acidity.

In my opinion these are the best decaf beans available. Great flavour.
