Got to cut out caffeine for a while for medical reasons, so will be buying a lot more decaf beans. Only on week 1 on cutting down, so currently doing my usual 2 coffees but each is half-decaf half-caff beans. The decaf is Swiss Water process.

I did the James Hoffman Decaf Project tasting a couple of years ago and preferred Swiss Water method from that. But my memory isn't great and maybe I preferred it above the others less than I remember, so I might see if I can do a similar test again.

How about you?

From what I’ve tried I’ve preferred ethyl acetate over Swiss water so far, mainly due to clarify of flavour. I’ve found SW to be more muddy than EA.
