Fresh Roasted Coffee, Organic Peru Water-Processed Decaf | Mold & Myco 3rd Party Tested, USDA Organic, Kosher | Med Roast 2 lb (32 oz) Whole Bean

This is one of four decaf coffees I have tried which have been prepared using this water based method and sold by Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC - Mexican, Colombian, Sumatra and Indian Monsooned.I am very very pleased with the result. With the exception of the Indian, all three of the other coffees form this company prepared by this method, while of different flavor being different coffee beans, are excellent in flavor and quality. All of them were shipped with the roast date/exp date so I have an idea of how recently they were roasted. The Indian Monsooned, had no date, and had other differences from the other three which made me wonder if I had a bad batch.When compared to a high quality non-decaf coffee bean the roasted beans have noticeably less 'coffee odor', but when prepared as French Press or Espresso all of these decaf roasts (done with this water method of decaf) have had excellent coffee flavor and lots of Crema.I intend to get these again and try other flavors from the same company decaf from the same process.EDIT March 03 2015:The ones I first tried from this company (Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC) were the Colombian, Sumatra, and the Mexican SWP Decaf coffees. I have since also tried the Indian Monsoon decaf from the same company. The Indian Monsoon did not have a roast date or an expiration date, but it had a good aroma to the beans. However, it has a very fleeting (although good) flavor and absolutely no Crema whatsoever (see review PHOTO). I prefer the Mexican, then the Colombian and Sumatra and the Indian last of the four Decafs. The first three of them are really great, but the Indian has a shorter lived and less pronounced flavor than the other three so I do not like it quite as much. I will most certainly buy again all four of them, as they are all good in their own way with the Colombian being exceptional.I have also now tried four other Decafs prepared with supposedly a similar water based process, but I have not found them to have the same flavor as these - although some are close.I prepare all of them with an Insulated French Press which keep the brew temperature within about 203 to 193 during the brew process, and I do not add anything to the coffee (not milk, sugar, or anything else). I get Coffees I like with anything from about 20 to 30 grams per 12 to 16 oz of water. If I am comparing one coffee to another I will measure exactly, but normally I'll just grind about 25g give or take and use about 13 to 15 oz of water. I have yet to get a result that isn't great with these coffees.p.s. I use decaf coffee because it helps with blood glucose levels - and caffeine does the opposite.

This is a nice tasting, water processed, Organic, mold free and not to acidic decaf at a good price. Color was a little lighter that I have been using, so probably not a dark roasted coffee, but the flavor was still to my liking. Will order again.

I drink a lot of coffee. I started drinking it in my pre-teen years, and progressed to the typical American caffeine addiction into my early-adulthood, before weaning back to decaf-only for the past decade or two. At this point, my coffee habit is just that - a habit - yet one that is so familiar and ingrained in my daily routines that my consumption now rivals that of my peak caffeine period.As most any coffee drinker will tell you, though, decaf doesn't taste as good as caffeinated coffee (to put it politely). In my experience, decaf is almost universally disgusting. I've tried different beans, different roasts, different grinds, different water, hot brewing and cold brewing, drips and presses and percolators... the results have been varying degrees of terrible.So, a few months ago I set out (again) to try to find a decent decaf. Long story short, some coffee website recommended this brand/bean/roast, citing it as the only decaf they'd found that was even worth reviewing. Intrigued, I decided to buy a bag - and the results were every bit as good as the review stated. I was, and am, *amazed* at how good of a cup of coffee this Ethiopian Sidamo makes.I drink this coffee every day that I'm home, and am delighted anew each time I return at just how... coffee-like... this brew is compared to the swill that I drink on-the-road. The roast is medium, and actually tastes like coffee, not just brown-colored water (apologies to every decaf in my local grocery store) or a bitter soup of water filtered through charred organic matter (apologies to Starbucks).Perhaps the Ethiopian Sidamo decaf doesn't rival a good cup of caffeinated coffee; honestly, I can't remember back far enough to recall what a good cup of caffeinated coffee tastes like. Of the myriad decafs I've tried, however, this brew is truly in a class of it's own. If you're a decaf drinker, do yourself the favor of trying a bag; if the style suits your tastes, you'll be rewarded by the quality.

This is a nicely drinkable coffee. Not too dark; not too light. Not too bitter; not too bland. Not too strong; not too weak. It's an "average" coffee, in the sense of being something that almost any coffee drinker could like. But it is on the mild side, so if a robust, strong, dark roast is what you're after, this is not it. On a 1-10 scale where 1 = mild/weak and 10 is a really dark french roast. I would rate this a 4. My wife likes mild coffees so this one works out really well for shared pots, but when I'm brewing for myself, I prefer something stronger, such as this company's Peruvian offering.It's attractively priced, but I've found it does take a lot of beans to produce a robust cup of coffee. I usually use 80 grams of coffee for my 60 ounce pot, but with this one I have to use 90+ to get just the right consistency. So I do end up using about 10 % more beans, which I guess is a 10 % hidden cost.The 5 pound bags come out to $8 / pound, or $0.50 an ounce, which is much closer to the price of, say, Maxwell House decaf than to a typical high-end bean. Since it tastes about a billion times better than Maxwell House or any other supermarket brand, it's really a no-brainer, in terms of price performance ratio. The notion that you could have a cup of this instead of Folgers or Maxwell House for about the same price, give or take some pocket change, makes it one of the better offerings out there.

It’s so hard to find good DECAFE Flavored coffee. I am so happy to find this product !!!Very deep taste of coffee even DECAFE !!!!!!
