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?

Medical cutting caffein? Decaf still has caffein in it. Much less, but still something like 15mg from a normal 100mg. Just be aware in ase its important.

As to ops question, the quality of the bean matters more than the decaf method IMHO. That said, Swiss Water Process is usually what I end up with, and most of them are ok to good.
