Decaf beans lose their freshness much faster than caf. I’ve found even with high quality roasters it’s 50/50 chance it arrives stale or it will be within <1 week, so I can’t make the cost pan out. So depressing to get a bag stale on arrival.

So what I do now is

1. Mount Hagen decaf instant coffee. High quality instant I think of as “a different drink” than typically brewed coffee.

2. Cometeer decaf coffee. It’s speciality coffee premade into concentrates. Easily the best “reliable” method of decaf I’ve found. Has more of an espresso flavor to it, but better than any alternative I’ve tried.
