Original Decaf Whole

Great decaf coffee. The aroma, the taste the flavor is very nice. I like it

This is a great tasting coffee. I cant seem to find it anymore. I hope they bring it back soon.

I was buying decaf coffee beans from a high-end coffee roaster here in San Diego. Despite a premium price of nearly $20 for a 10oz bag, I was very disappointed with the results. So, I decided to give Eight O'clock Decaf a try. Using a good quality grinder and a French press, this made coffee almost indistinguishable from regular caffeinated coffee. I usually mix decaf and regular coffee together to make a "half-caf" blend, but using100% decaf is still excellent. I find that making it a little stronger than I would make it with regular caffeinated coffee works for me but that's a matter of individual taste, of course. In any event, this is an excellent value for the money, and I plan to stick with this product.

The price was decent and it's so hard to find decaf whole beans so I decided to give it a try. We had used this brand of beans before for non-decaf and liked it. I just can't give it the highest score because it just doesn't make very strong coffee - I don't know if the decaf process is to blame or what - I'm pretty sure the non-decaf beans we used from this brand were fine. The flavor is good, and smooth enough, but doesn't seem like medium-roast. UPDATE: I came back to raise my rating to a full 4-stars. I still think that if you want a rich cup of coffee, you will have to use more grounds that you typically would - and I've been just that - making a 6-ounce cup of coffee with 1 HEAPING teaspoon of fresh grounds and another regular rounded teaspoon and it's making pretty darn good decaf with a very nice flavor. The price is fair, so I won't complain too much about having to use more... but I'm glad I figured out how to enjoy it. Quite good, actually.

I have been using this brand and type of coffee for years ! Eight O clock coffee is the best , I think !

Great coffee, great delivery, exactly as expected!

Muy buen café, sabroso descafeinado

Let’s be honest — no one chooses decaf. I bought this coffee only because pregnancy (and later breastfeeding) benched me from the caffeine game. I went in with low expectations and a heavy heart… but honestly? It’s not too bad. I use it in my Breville espresso machine, and it tastes smooth, rich, and surprisingly close to the real deal. Is it the same as a strong, fully caffeinated morning miracle? No. But it almost tricks me into thinking I’m still that person. For a decaf forced-upon-me phase of life, this coffee has been my saving grace — one espresso shot at a time.

Ok, so as someone with review OCD you probably want to compare Kicking Horse decaf with this one, the Eight O'Clock Coffee Original Decaf, as that rates very slightly higher, but is a lot more per gram. Having bought both, and tried both (in addition to Campos Decaf available at the supermarket), I think this is the best combo of value and taste available. Campos is about 90-95% as good as this. And for whatever difference in taste that might be discerned, Kicking Horse is not worth the price premium IMHO. It's still an excellent decaf, but I don't rate it better and value wise this is far better.
