- Is this really caffeine-free?
- Yes. It is sold as decaf, made by the Swiss-water process, which removes caffeine without chemical solvents. Trace caffeine can remain, as with all decafs.
- What does it taste like?
- A mild, smooth South American cup with nutty and cocoa notes and low bitterness. Expect less acidity than the regular version.
- Do I need a grinder?
- Yes, it is whole bean. A burr grinder gives the most even result, but a blade grinder works for drip and French press.
- Which brewing methods suit it?
- Drip, pour-over and French press all work well. Use a medium grind for drip and a coarse grind for French press.
- How should I store the bag?
- Keep it sealed, away from light and heat, and use it within a few weeks of opening. Freezing whole beans in an airtight bag also works.
- Where is the Crazy Fresh Coffee Desert Island Decaf Whole Bean Coffee cheapest?
