How does this community feel about decaf? And are there any really good decaf options at your local roaster or roaster of choice? I’m personally a big fan of decaf for a dessert latte in the evening. Unfortunately I’m still trying to find a really good decaf bean, but this one is good for a really dark roast, which is my preference for espresso.

I like Hoffmann’s stance on decaf personally. His thought is the “death before decaf” folks aren’t really into coffee as much, because they’re admitting they’re just into it for the caffeine, and those who drink decaf are willing to drink often times bad coffee (since most places don’t treat decaf with the same respect as regular) just to have a cup of coffee since they love it so much.

I only recently discovered them but I’m sorta hooked on them now. I definitely want to try all their offerings. Unfortunately they’re just a bit too far away for me to drive to them, so I have to get them shipped, which is not my preference, but from what I’ve tasted it seems to be worth it. My local grocery store does also sell their beans for about $2 cheaper, but they’re not as fresh usually. I did get lucky once though and found some that were less than two weeks old, but since then everything’s been at least two months old. I do still keep an eye out though every time I get groceries.
