Ground Coffee, Medium Roast Hot or Iced Coffee, Decaf House Blend, 12 oz

I'm super picky about the taste of coffee, especially since it's so hard to find good decaf. This coffee is great. No after taste, rich and strong - like I like it. Very fresh and smells good. I'm glad I bought the ground version. Super easy to make.

This was a delightful surprise. My husband is not supposed to be drinking too much coffee, and I have high BP, but he refuses to cut back. Since I prepare the coffee maker the day before, I decided to start looking into decaffeinated coffee again. Decaf coffee has really come a long way. Wow! There are really cool coffees that are decaffeinated using more natural methods these days. They can come with a very hefty price tag…so I looked at Starbucks. Starbucks decaf is more reasonably priced for our wallet just now, and from all that I have read, we still get the benefits of drinking coffee, but without all the caffeine. And it is so yummy, mixed with our regular coffee, Seattle’s Best medium roast, that he has noticed no change whatsoever, and we are drinking 50% less caffeine every day, without any headaches! This decaf has all of the Starbucks flavor I hoped for. Happy Coffee Drinker.

Great flavor

Tasty but lessee-known brands just as good for less. Value for money not there unless promotions. Fresh.

Great way to start the morning

In general, I'm not a Starbuck's fan but I like this Decaf a lot. I had to stop drinking regualr coffee so started searching for a Decaf that tasted like real coffee. I was pleasantly surprised when I found this one the best. The price is pretty good on Amazon.

Sadly, after 45 years, caffeine had to go. I've tried quite a few different decaf's and so far this is not only the best tasting that I have found but also the best value. I bought 6 - 12 oz. bags for $29.62, or about 41 cents per ounce. You will find a few less expensive and plenty that are more expensive. The difference in flavor comes from, in my opinion, the process used to decaffeinate the beans. Turns out that extracting caffeine from coffee beans is quite difficult and time consuming. The result is a higher price product that often does not taste as good as "real" coffee. Swiss Water Process sounds wholesome and wonderful but it extracts flavors from beans that can't be put back in. This Starbucks decaf is made with the direct method, which uses methyl chloride to extract the caffeine. Yes, that sounds industrial and artificial but it's actually very clean and efficient. The process results in fewer flavor losses. There is another extraction method called the CO2 process, which is supposed to be even better. Have yet to try coffee decaffeinated this way. It is almost twice the price of this Starbucks House blend. Your mileage may vary but I like this just fine.

This coffee was shipped fast and the quality was excellent. The flavor is very fresh and smooth. I definitely recommend this coffee!
