What Defines This Coffee

A rare, highly traceable small-batch micro lot from the Jinotega region of Nicaragua. This coffee uses both natural and carbonic maceration processing, with fermentation times of 5–10 days — a technique borrowed from winemaking that intensifies fruit notes without funky fermented flavors. Traceability here is extraordinary: fermentation times, sugar content by picking day, varietals grown, who picked them, and even the weather are all documented.

Common Questions

Swiss Water® Process decaf is 99.9% caffeine-free. A typical cup of decaf contains 2-5mg of caffeine compared to 95-200mg in regular coffee.
Yes. We roast for flavor, not caffeine. The quality of the bean and roast matters more than caffeine content. Our single-origin decafs taste incredible—full of flavor, zero compromise.

Too Dark

I drink a lot of decaf, and am always looking for interesting beans. It’s a challenge, as most decaf is roasted too dark to show off many flavors of origin. The write-up for this coffee was effusive, so I was optimistic it would be an interesting cup. Sadly, I haven’t found that to be the case. I’ve pulled two dozen or so shots: traditional espresso, ristretto, turbo, soup, etc. It makes a decent traditional shot, but I definitely did not find any of the exotic flavors described in the marketing literature. Even as a ristretto, there’s not much fruit or acidity. I’ve even swapped burrs and tried pourover, aeropress, etc. Played with brew temps and coarseness. Still bland.

The coffee isn’t bad, per se, it’s just dull—which for the price is unforgivable. Seriously regretting buying a 2lb bag of it.
