Kicking Horse Coffee - Organic Fairtrade Whole Bean Decaf Dark Roast 10 164385

I think I have ordered this over almost 10 times now? The quality and freshness is basically impossible to beat for decaf coffee. And I have looked extensively. I drink decaf elusively due to a caffeine sensitivity but I just love the taste of coffee. I also am somewhat health paranoid so I only drink coffee that is decaffeinated using water. (no chemicals). This coffee checks all my boxes. It tastes absolutely delightful, uses swiss water decaffeination, and is also somehow the most affordable out there?! Everywhere else I look, sellers want over $2.00/oz. This is roughly $1.40/oz and, as of writing this, it is randomly on sale for $0.99/oz. This is a no brainer folks! As far as taste, what keeps me coming back is that it is the right amount of complex and simple. Some coffees do have a wonderfully complex and exotic taste. But as much as I am a thrill seeker, I don't really like to daily drive those types of coffees. However I certainly do not want Folgers in my cup in the morning. This has a really universally appealing profile in my opinion. It's rich, medium to dark, chocolatey, smooth, and has low acidity when brewed correctly. I am a pour-over kind of person which means I get to screw up my variables from time to time and enjoy some of the hidden character of the coffee. I am not a coffee master by any means but compared to what I have tried, this is quite resilient to bitterness. I have done an accidental 20-minute immersion steep with this coffee and the result was surprisingly enjoyable. Bitter, yes, but very rich and textured and pretty fun. I drank the whole cup! Something IMPORTANT to note. This is by far the best coffee I have tried for Iced-Coffee in the summer, hands down. I do not know what it is, but other coffees, even those expensive and niche ones, just don't take a cold brew quite like this one. A cold-brew of this with some cream and just a dash of sugar tastes like the most expensive chocolate bar you've ever drank. It is seriously good. I really hope they keep this coffee and keep it competitively priced because I will be getting it for the foreseeable future.

No esta fresco, no genero suficiente crema

Some of the best decaf coffee I’ve tasted and experimented with! I’m truly satisfied with this brand as a first time at home espresso machine user! The aroma upon opening the bag is so fresh and rich smelling! Not too acidic in taste at all! And grinds so nicely! I’m obsessed with the Swiss water decaffeination process! Loving this brand thus far! And makes some pretty lattes!

Was so keen to try this coffee out. I found it rather bland. Not a lot of flavour. It didn’t meet the hype from current reviews. Pretty ordinary for such an expensive product.

Updating from 3 stars to 4. Tasted strong when using with finer grinds and with this ratio 12g of coffee beans to 6 oz of water but knocking off one star as it's a little pricey. Note: i had to grind the coffee beans much finer than what I'd typically find in pre-ground coffee to get a stronger taste. Tried the following methods: A) 10g of coffee grounds to 6oz of water using pour over (4 min) vs French press (5 min) >> tasted weak (3 stars) B) 12g of coffee grounds to 6oz of water >> tasted better, but the after taste felt flat. (3 stars) C) 12g of coffee BEANS grounded finely to 6oz of water >> tasted strong, and the best (4 stars)
