Kicking Horse Coffee, Swiss Water Process, Whole Bean, 2.2 Pound - Organic Whole Bean Coffee Decaffeinated

I think I have ordered this over almost 10 times now? The quality and freshness is basically impossible to beat for decaf coffee. And I have looked extensively. I drink decaf elusively due to a caffeine sensitivity but I just love the taste of coffee. I also am somewhat health paranoid so I only drink coffee that is decaffeinated using water. (no chemicals). This coffee checks all my boxes. It tastes absolutely delightful, uses swiss water decaffeination, and is also somehow the most affordable out there?! Everywhere else I look, sellers want over $2.00/oz. This is roughly $1.40/oz and, as of writing this, it is randomly on sale for $0.99/oz. This is a no brainer folks! As far as taste, what keeps me coming back is that it is the right amount of complex and simple. Some coffees do have a wonderfully complex and exotic taste. But as much as I am a thrill seeker, I don't really like to daily drive those types of coffees. However I certainly do not want Folgers in my cup in the morning. This has a really universally appealing profile in my opinion. It's rich, medium to dark, chocolatey, smooth, and has low acidity when brewed correctly. I am a pour-over kind of person which means I get to screw up my variables from time to time and enjoy some of the hidden character of the coffee. I am not a coffee master by any means but compared to what I have tried, this is quite resilient to bitterness. I have done an accidental 20-minute immersion steep with this coffee and the result was surprisingly enjoyable. Bitter, yes, but very rich and textured and pretty fun. I drank the whole cup! Something IMPORTANT to note. This is by far the best coffee I have tried for Iced-Coffee in the summer, hands down. I do not know what it is, but other coffees, even those expensive and niche ones, just don't take a cold brew quite like this one. A cold-brew of this with some cream and just a dash of sugar tastes like the most expensive chocolate bar you've ever drank. It is seriously good. I really hope they keep this coffee and keep it competitively priced because I will be getting it for the foreseeable future.

Excellent! This is the best tasting dark roast whole bean decaf I have found. Sometimes I only want decaf later in the day. I find it is too expensive for my budget but once in a while for a treat, I will splurge! So smooth. Lovely flavor.

Updating from 3 stars to 4. Tasted strong when using with finer grinds and with this ratio 12g of coffee beans to 6 oz of water but knocking off one star as it's a little pricey. Note: i had to grind the coffee beans much finer than what I'd typically find in pre-ground coffee to get a stronger taste. Tried the following methods: A) 10g of coffee grounds to 6oz of water using pour over (4 min) vs French press (5 min) >> tasted weak (3 stars) B) 12g of coffee grounds to 6oz of water >> tasted better, but the after taste felt flat. (3 stars) C) 12g of coffee BEANS grounded finely to 6oz of water >> tasted strong, and the best (4 stars)

So, I screwed up thinking it was ground. I asked for a return on this because I didn't have a coffee grinder. They told me to keep it. I got a coffee grinder. Results: really good coffee. Smooth, with none of the weird "decaf" flavor. It does need a bit more grounds per pot, cup or whatever, per mfg., to get a great cup though. Good stuff.

Some of the best decaf coffee I’ve tasted and experimented with! I’m truly satisfied with this brand as a first time at home espresso machine user! The aroma upon opening the bag is so fresh and rich smelling! Not too acidic in taste at all! And grinds so nicely! I’m obsessed with the Swiss water decaffeination process! Loving this brand thus far! And makes some pretty lattes!

I love and need decaf. But these are whole beans. ONLY once was I able to secure "ground decaf" in this brand. I haven't been able to get any more since:(. The 3rd party testing for mold is important to me . But I don't like having to grind beans up in my blender. Which is what I have to do. There will most likely be plastic particles in it, because I can hear them hitting the side of the blender. After grinding, the coffee comes out different textures. I have half beans floating around in my cowboy coffee. I have to strain it. I had to go back to a stronger brand. I only ordered this whole bean bag, because I was desperate for some decaf.

Great coffee, great taste, organic, swiss water processed

This is by far one of the best decaf coffees I have ever tried. There are several things that I like about it. First I prefer dark roast over medium roast, and every decaf coffee I’ve tried is usually a medium roast. I was so happy to see this brand had a dark roast. The coffee has nutty, chocolate and caramel notes. I use the pour over method and use a slightly bigger than a medium grind. I get a full bodied rich cup of coffee. To those who say it lacks flavor, I would suggest trying a different grind size or a different brew method because that can greatly affect the outcome of your coffee. I start with 21 g of coffee beans grind them fresh and use the pour over method the total of 280 g of water with a start to finish time of 3 1/2 minutes. I always get a great rich satisfying cup of coffee

10 de 10 Es lo mejor que he probado hasta ahora Lo súper recomiendo

Excelente café sabroso elaborado con granos orgánicos, lo que significa que no contiene químicos tóxicos provenientes del proceso Suizo de descafeinado con agua. [En ingles - Excellent tasty coffee from organic beans, meaning no toxic chemicals from the Swiss water decaff. process!]

Amazing coffee and the Swiss water process to decaffeinate the coffee is the best. Smooth taste and no acidity.

Coffee is good always like it. This time it was delivered to wrong address, luckily not too far from my place

In my opinion these are the best decaf beans available. Great flavour.
