Stone Street Decaf Coffee Beans, Swiss Water Process Naturally Decaffeinated Coffee, Medium Roast, Whole Bean, 2 LB

Excellent. The best decaf that I have found. This is the only whole bean coffee that I have tried over the years that produces no static cling when I grind the beans so I do not waste coffee due to coffee grounds flying all over the place.

I have become a huge fan of the Mayan Decaf coffee because of the Swiss water method of eliminating the caffeine. Before being introduced to this brand, all other decaf coffee had a strange, chemical taste. This tastes like caffeinated coffee, and is also very smooth with no bitter after taste. I also don't find it highly acidic, so I can enjoy a cup of this as iced coffee in the afternoon.

Due to having anxiety issues, I was informed to start using a decaf coffee that used the Swiss Water Process. For many years, I have been drinking Folgers or Maxwell House decaf. And where I was only drinking a cup once a week or so, it just wasn't satisfying my coffee craving. So I searched and searched Amazon and beyond to see all the options for SWP decaf. There were so many! I was able to narrow it down by omitting those brands that didn't show the SWP label on their packaging, cuz who knows? Well, this one stated Mayan Water Process but the reviews were all pretty good. It arrived a day later than it should have, but that's okay. I opened the bag this morning and WOW. The aroma of a fantastic coffee smell filled my nose. I think I actually had goosebumps. haha! So I brewed a cup like I normally do and the smell was amazing and the taste was even better. I usually use a medium roast and this tasted just a bit on the darker side; which I loved. Very robust, not bitter at all, and no issues with anxiety...so far, no tummy issues either. I may go back to drinking coffee every day again! The packaging is very basic; which is fine too. One very satisfied customer to have REAL coffee back in my life!

This review is for the ground coffee because that is what I was accidentally sent by Amazon. (The took care of it though)This is lower acid, decaf, medium roast. First, dark roast is considered lower acid then light or medium roast as a rule. This is, just the same, a lower acid decaf. I got tired of the acid stomach from coffee. I use this in refillable capsules in a Nespresso machine so I have a smaller more concentrated shot of coffee. That said, this is a mild coffee with a distinct chocolate taste to it. There is no bite to it and the flavor for many true coffee lovers might be considered too weak. For me it was very nice and the noticeable chocolate taste is wonderful. For non-machine made coffee you can add more to enhance the coffee flavor or mix with a touch of darker roast coffee. I like hot chocolate and coffee. This is right in my wheelhouse and a tad more coffee flavor would be perfect.

I ordered this June 3rd to up my subscribe and save count and finally tried today, 7/19, the best by date is 12/7/19. Assuming a 6 month recommended max shelf life looks like beans are shipping right after roasting. Despite waiting longer than desired try, these are still plenty fresh. The brewed color is a warm reddish brown and taste has the nuance of good chocolate or good red wine, some taste of carmelized stone fruit, but I'm having trouble placing it exactly. It's not the best coffee I've ever had, but it's a very solid choice at this price point for making me forget I'm drinking decaf. Next time I'm in the area I would be likely to seek out the retail location to see how just roasted beans would taste as I normally try to buy local and enjoy within a week or two of roasting. This was good black, but not as strong as I'd like when adding milk. This definitely something I would buy again. Would love even more to see this in a slightly darker roast.

This is kinda ehhhh. Maybe it isn't very fresh or the fact that it is decaf, not sure.I was given another one of their coffees as a gift for making my cold brew and shame on me for not keeping the name of it. I wanted decaf for my cold brew because I like it in the afternoon and TRUST me I do not need caffeine in the afternoon because Im like a toddler that just ate a bag of gummy bears.I would not buy this particular one again.

It has an excellent taste. Caffeine doesn't like me and the herbal "coffee" I had been using tasted awful with a new recipe for a coffee drink. So this tasted just heavenly after not drinking coffee for over a year. The water processed decaffeination makes me feel comfortable drinking it without a ton of added chemicals. And compared with what I remember of regular coffee is a high quality taste without that bitter aftertaste that cheaper brands (like Folgers and Maxwell House not to mention grocery store brands) tend to get, well at least if you don't make them just right which was never my strong suit. I am almost finished with my first bag and haven't had a bad cup yet. I haven't decided if I am going to reorder this or experiment with another brand next but I do know that this is one I would continue to drink.

Unfortunately this coffee was not good. I never leave reviews but it won't let me return this product, so I feel like I must save others from wasting money as I did. There are some delicious decaf coffees these days that are so good they taste like regular coffee-- and this is not one of them.. I could tell from the smell as I made the first pour over.. What a bummer.. Perhaps it's a roasting issue, but this coffee tastes super "off" and leaves a terrible "diner-y" aftertaste..
