Do you know roasteries that sell decaf coffee beans?
I’d like to brew coffee more often, occasionally in the evening, but I can’t because of caffeine, also I know people who definitely feel much worse effect I would be glad to offer a good pour over to sometimes, so I’m looking for some websites which sell a decent selection of decaf beans, preferably treated with the Swiss water process. Also I live in Italy so due to recent events it would much more convenient to buy from European sources
Counter Culture Coffee out of North Carolina has a decaf and a half caf option
Magnolia Coffee is also in North Carolina and has a decaf Brazil that I personally like just a little more than Counter Culture. They are both solid options.
Illy sells a decaf whole bean. I don’t personally like their flavor, but Illy is more widely distributed and might be more likely to be in a local store.
James Hoffmann recently did a series on decaf coffee which culminated in a massive live tasting. I imagine all of the kits are sold out now, but the list of participating roasters should give you a good starting place to find roasters in Europe who are interested in quality decaf
I’m not too familiar with European roasters but when I was in Spain, I really enjoyed Syra Coffee. They do have a decaf blend available.
I would probably try Kofio for the EU, but I don’t have any direct experience with them
I’ll occasionally see decaf options from places like Tim Wendelboe, Nomad, Kawa, etc. The issue is they don’t have a varied selection of decaf beans, usually just one or two options
Lots of options here already, but I love the red rooster coffee decaf blend. I order most of my coffee from there and get decaf sometimes. Anything from a quality roaster will probably be good. I think the processing method makes a difference - the ones I like are mad with the Swiss water process
Mok in Belgium does a pretty decent decaf. That is my go-to. More expensive though because they are sustainable and work directly with farmers.
Irving Farms does. Utica Coffee Roasters do as well. I think Clermont down a bit from me does.
Upstate NY checking in.
