We all like and praise specialty roasters. We recommend them online, we tell our friends about. The coffee is great.

... Except when it's isn't. And you still paid specialty price for it.

Do you have any bad experience with specialty roasters, places you won't go back to? Have you ever encountered roasters claiming to sell specialty coffee, but when you open the bag it's worse than supermarket coffee?

If you're up for roasting your own (it's easy and fun!) there is a great variety of decaf green beans.

I regularly roast their decaf fazenda and it's great.

    It's a cool idea, I will look into roasting some of my own.

    I'm not trying to be a hater, but nearly all of the decaf there is using Swiss water process, which I've never had a good cup of. I do see one EA decaf, but it's Columbia and I think I've drank enough decaf Columbia to last me a few lifetimes.
