DECAF COFFEE

Our decaf coffee is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water® Process. This is a clean decaffeinating method which uses 100% green coffee extract and carbon to filter the caffeine out. This method ensures only caffeine is removed to keep the original quality of the beans intact.

GRIND OPTIONS EXPLAINED

Whole Bean - whole bean coffee tends to be more flavorful, fresh, and aromatic. For the best coffee experience, you should buy your beans whole and grind them yourself right before brewing. 

Medium is what you typically see when you buy ground coffee from the grocery store. The pieces are small and this grind is best used for pour-over and drip coffees.

Fine, Espresso is the finest grind we offer. This grind is used mostly for espresso machines and moka pots.

HOW TO STORE COFFEE BEANS TO EXTEND ITS SHELF LIFE?

Coffee does degrade over time and it degrades faster depending on the surface area - which means that the whole beans will keep longer than ground coffee. The best way to store these beans is to place them in an air-tight container in the freezer. You should grind fresh only the amount you plan to use that day to avoid unnecessary exposure. Storing coffee in this way will keep out moisture and other contaminants.

HOW LONG DOES COFFEE LAST?
Dried coffee, if stored properly, can last for months and even years.

 HOW TO TELL IF COFFEE IS BAD?

The best way to tell if it has gone bad is to use your sense of smell. If coffee has gone bad, the pleasant aroma will be gone and with it much of the taste. Using this coffee will not harm you, but will just not have much flavor if the smell is gone. It may also lose its deep dark color and appear a lighter brown.
