Decaf Espresso Blend 500 g

Description

Two sugarcane-decaffeinated Colombian lots, decaffeinated in Caldas and blended here for espresso. Most decaf espresso tastes hollow because the green coffee behind it was cheap; this is the same grade we would roast with the caffeine still in it.

Taken to a full medium: cocoa, hazelnut and dried date, with body enough for a cortado and sweetness enough for a straight shot after dinner. Under 0.1 percent residual caffeine.

Dialling in: 18 g in, 36 g out, 26 to 29 seconds at 92 °C. Decaffeinated beans are brittle and grind finer at the same setting, so open the grinder a step when you switch over from a caffeinated blend.

Whole bean, 500 g, valve bag with the roast date on the back.
