Ahh, decaf; it looks like coffee, smells like coffee, and tried so hard to BE good coffee, but alas, it usually falls short of the mark. Not so with our delicious Decaf Espresso Torro. Crema? Thick and oozing. Body? Syrupy. Sweet? Check. Acidity? C'mon now, you know it! the only thing you'll be missing is a caffeine buzz!
Shipped in 1lb bags.

I love espresso, but I also like to not have my eyes vibrating in my skull by 3pm. This decaf has been a constant on my bar for years now, I use it daily for a post-drip latte in the morning, and 2-3 mid-day doubles or Americanos in the afternoon. The new blend has been great, it remains super easy to dial in, relatively forgiving for machines that don't have all the whiz-bang gadgets like PIDs and pressure profiling, and provides delicious shots that stand up to milk, tonic/ice, or stand out on their own.

Most decafs taste like somebody punched a hole where the flavor should have been cuz the bitterness that caffeine brings to the cup is gone and other flavors (sweet, fruity, whatever) are too weak to cover that loss. Here just enough bitterness from the roasting process makes up for the caffeine and lets the roasting caramels shine, so you end up with a cup of bold sweet silky coffee that a lot of people would not recognize as decaf. It must pack a decent punch as espresso.
