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?

It's between swiss water and ethyl acetate for me. I think it depends more on other factors like the beans and how they were roasted. There are a lot of roasters in my town, so I tried most of the decafs and have a few I rotate between.
