Fresh Roasted Coffee,100% Water-Process Decaf Colombian, 2 lb (32 oz), Medium Roast, Kosher, Whole Bean

Whole bean and natural decaffeinated. Good flavor

This is a robust decaf version of Peruvian coffee. I use it to mix with other Peruvian coffee to make half-caf. I frequently by the decaf as it is consistently good.

Love these coffee beans. No caffeine jag.

Good

Love the flavor of this coffee.

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.

When I make my coffee, I always froth the cream, first; and with it being thick, it can take a few sips before coffee comes through. Usually, the cream is rather decadent — and once the flavor of the coffee comes through, it amps up the decadence.I am on my first cup of this coffee; I received my package in the mail, this morning.I prepared by my French press, as someone said this specific coffee worked well in such, and that is my go-to method of preparation.There wasn’t much of a smell when I opened the bag. Which, I found rather disappointingWith first sips, my cream tasted watered down. I was a bit confused, as I didn’t do anything different.I didn’t taste really any deliberate coffee-flavor coming through.I took a few more sips, to see if I was only drinking cream..Nope.Drinking the coffee and the cream.Took a bigger drink..Definitely tasted like watered down coffee and bland cream.And to think I was concerned I used too much coffee grounds.Obviously, with this kind of product, there are no returns.I am waiting to see if I have any sort of allergic reaction to this coffee; so, I knew there was a risk with this purchase, regardless.If I do not have an allergic reaction, I’ll attempt to remake the coffee, and see how much I’ll need to use to get a decent cup of coffee, with flavor..I mean, at this point, I’m out the money, anyways — so, I might as well do whatever with it.If I can’t manage to get even some semblance of decent tasting coffee out of this, with excessive use of grounds, I intend to slowly mix this coffee in with my future decaf coffee purchases — as it’s most certainly not gonna affect the flavor, in the slightest.Bummer much of the most flavorful coffee causes allergic reactions, in me.Oh well. I’m keeping the faith I’ll find something that’s flavorful and allows me to drink it, without issues.EDIT:Coffee upset my stomach, quite a bit. I know it was due this coffee, specifically, as I didn’t do anything else differently, except this coffee; and I haven’t had an upset stomach like this, in a good while.In the trash bin it goes.2ND EDIT:I ended up giving my mother the coffee, instead of throwing it away. Simply because I wasn’t impressed doesn’t mean others won’t find it enjoyable.I don’t think she has made a cup, yet. Though, she said she thought it smelled really good, when she opened the bag.To which, I didn’t find the smell unpleasant. It, simply, wasn’t as strong as I would have preferred.

Very good delivery time
