Great tasting decaf coffees are here
There are many decaf coffees on the market, but not all of them taste great. In this article, we’ll recommend some of the best decaf coffees out there we have sourced for you so that you too can enjoy a delicious cup of decaf. Great tasting decaf isn’t that hard to find at I Love Decaf.
Where to buy decaf coffee that tastes great
There are a few key things to look for when shopping for decaf coffee that tastes great.
- First, make sure to find a brand that you trust. May we humbly suggest I Love Decaf? There are a lot of decaf coffees on the market, but not all of them are created equal. Here at I Love Decaf we took on the challenge to find great tasting decaf. It wasn’t easy but as soon as we stopped drinking mass-market brands and supermarket own brands, we did a lot of research and found the suppliers that use high quality beans and roast them well.
- Second, pay attention to the grind. If you’re using a drip coffee maker, you’ll want to use a medium grind. If you’re making espresso, you’ll want to use a fine grind. And if you’re using a French press, you’ll want to use a coarse grind. The wrong grind can make even the best coffee taste bad. For more info on the grind that will work with your coffee maker, see our grand grind guide here.
- Finally, buy fresh beans. Coffee beans start going stale as soon as they’re roasted, so you’ll want to buy from a roaster who sells fresh beans. If you can’t find fresh beans, look for vacuum-sealed bags that have been roasted within the last week or two. Avoid beans that have been sitting on shelves for months – they’ll be stale and won’t taste very good.
