Indigo Blue Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I now have stuff in my house to make pour over coffee thanks to my son. He just left here but he made some seriously good coffee when he was here. It wasn’t decaf, but I tried a small cup. I thought I might try this with decaf and hope I can land on a brand that I can tolerate (headaches). Kicking Horse is very good! I’m surprised. I used ds method and it was very close to “real” coffee. We drink it black. Although, it seems just a very very tiny amount of maple syrup covers up the “decaf coffee” after taste, and makes it taste even more like non decaf black coffee. Have you found a really good decaf? I’m happy with this one but just wondering what others like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says light roast but I think it's a strong medium roast. https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Coffee-Gorilla-Process-Decafeinated/dp/B001ELLCH4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I myself am not a big coffee drinker, or indeed an any kind of coffee drinker, but since my mother and sister are I've spent several years carefully indoctrinating them into the superiority of bird friendly coffee. They are amused by my efforts, but mostly put up with me. They haven't complained about any of these brands, which I've bought on a rotating schedule to craft the illusion that I'm just playing bougie taste testing rather than trying to change their entire coffee-drinking way of life: https://www.emeraldology.com/9-best-certified-bird-friendly-and-organic-coffee-roasters/ But one note: When you pay your workers fairly and also plant responsibly, your product costs more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Blue Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Thanks, @Tanaqui. I didn’t know about those brands. Have you tried those laundry strip sheets on that site? Wonder if they are effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 We like peace coffee! We usually get a light roast decaf, but they have a dark roast decaf too. It's all fair trade and water processed. https://www.peacecoffee.com/shop/coffee/decaf-morning-glory/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if "they haven't complained about any of these brands," isn't an enthusiastic endorsement, I don't know what is!!! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 LOL! My mother, for the record, has only complained about coffee *once* in my lifetime. It was when she was stuck in the *worse* hospital on the Island a few months ago. She said their coffee was "swill" and refused to drink it, which was so shocking that I willingly shelled out for Starbucks from their lobby every day, and also brewed her coffee in a thermos daily as well. For people who drink a lot of coffee, my family sure isn't very opinionated about it. They like it. Therefore they drink it. But they are, to my mind, shockingly disinterested in coffee snob topics. If I liked coffee, I'd have tons of opinions! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmith Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I like Illy decaf. My husband laughs at me when I open a can because I shush everyone so I can hear the sound when I pull off the seal. They aren't kidding when they vacuum seal the cans! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensonduck Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I like Whole Foods brand Buzz Free Decaf. I’m absolutely not a coffee connoisseur, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Blue Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 I’m stuck with herbal tea because I’ve never found a green tea decaf that tasted good. Since I bought the Kicking Horse this week and it was so good, I don’t mind being a bit choosy because it will be maybe a once a week or so thing. Just something to enjoy that actually tastes really good. Ds is a total coffee snob. But he’s very into it and enjoys it. He loves super flavorful food, too.
