Coffee Masters Swiss Water Decaf Coffee Beans 1kg - 100% Arabica Naturally Decaffeinated Bean - Great Taste Award Winner

Delicious coffee which I have been buying for several years.

I had to get these beans when there was none of the standard decaf available. They are quite a bit stronger in taste but still good. I'm not 100% convinced that the additional cost is worth it for the "Swiss Water" process because the beans I normally get are perfectly good. HOwever, these were a good alternative as a one-off.

For those who wish to reduce caffeine then decaff is an obvious choice especially if you use a bean to cup machine making a strong 'lungo' sized drink as I do. In fact I realised I was drinking way too much of the stuff when I had my offshore medical and the doctor gave me a stern talking too about my blood pressure.So, I have made the effort to be better and one of the ways is to mostly - but not always - drink decaff coffee which, is why I ended up here.And. It's okay.I've tried many decaff coffee beans and to be honest for the most part they are as good as any non decaff middle range bean. Most people would not be able to tell the difference unless they like brutally strong or esoteric coffee.However Swiss Water technique is supposed to be a better and less chemical way of decaffeinating coffee and thus I have bought these to try out.Firstly, being Swiss Water they tick the non-solvent box which, might be a big plus for many people. I have read up on the various processes and honestly I'm not convinced that it's any better in health terms as some of the solvent processes use natural solvents which simply cannot remain in the bean post roasting.The plus in Swiss Water is that it apparently seems to remove more caffeine than solvent being 98 to 99% free. The other thing is that the process is perhaps a bit more environmentally positive than the other methods.But, here's the thing. I reckon Swiss Water method means beans that are less flavoursome than the other means and these beans to me back that up. They do make a decent cup of coffee but to my taste bubs - admittedly not the most sensitive in the world - there is a lack of 'roundness' and depth of flavour. In fact if I was being picky I'd say that compared to the solvent based decaff I tend to use there is a hint of harshness about them.It's not a huge minus because overall these beans make a good solid cup of coffee and if you like a latte or cappuccino then chances are these are great. However, I like my coffee black and fairly strong and like that I've definitely noticed that the solvent based decaff coffee I use has more flavour and is a bit more pleasant overall.In the end its down to choice. I've read up on the various methods of decaffeinating coffee beans and whilst I accept that Swiss Water is probably best for lower environmental impact, I'm not too worried about the other means of production which, to my taste buds make a better decaff bean.So, these are good beans but nothing remarkable in flavour terms.

very tasty😋😋😋

Seeking decaffeinated whole bean coffee, I found this and bought a 1kg bag after enjoying Coffee Masters Triple Certified organic whole bean coffee. This decaff. version was disappointing: being not organic, there was a slightly strange aftertaste despite the Swiss water decaffeinating process. Instead I suggest Suma or Bird & Wild brands of organic, fair trade, Swiss water process decaff. whole bean coffee, both of which I enjoyed much more. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fairtrade-Organic-Decaffeinated-Bird-Wild/dp/B0845T6S59 or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Suma-Swiss-Water-Decaff-Beans/dp/B01008CGM6

There’s no point looking for any other decaf coffee beans.This has the perfect taste of a great coffee and decaffeinated without the use of any chemicals.I cannot recommend this coffee highly enough.

Wanted to try this as sounded good value.... but you get what you pay for. Roasted over 3 months ago so not good for expresso machine, very dissapointed. Same grind and recipe pulls inconsistent volumes. Also roast looks like slightly over roasted. Shame service quick.

Excellent café. Plus de 10 ans que je ne buvais plus de café pour des questions de santé, et plus de déca non plus pour des questions de goût. Là, je m'y suis remis quotidiennement. Excellent arôme, un peu d'acidité que j'apprécie beaucoup et du caractère. Autant de qualités rares en particulier pour un déca.

Je suis un adepte de cette marque que j'ai par la même occasion instauré au boulot avec le Colombien !Ayant 3 Délonghi la bas nous avons décidé d'en dédier une au déca, j'ai donc pensé à cette marque qui nous apporte satisfaction. Il à un bon gout et surtout n'est absolument pas amer !Tentez le, ça vaut facilement tous les déca que vous avez pu boire avant ;)

en principe, si les fèves sont décaféinées à l'eau, c'est moins toxique, le gout est respecté, s'il y avait un produit bio et équitable ce serait encore mieux !

Très bon café, assez cher mais un des meilleurs déca a broyer
