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?

My recollection was that my preference changed as the temperature changed, and using Aeropress instead of cupping and having the beans age changed my preference as well. Swiss water was not at the top for cupping but I think ethyl acetate didn’t age as well as the others. Unfortunately I didn’t take notes.
