Why These Decaf Coffees Shine in Home Espresso Machines
Espresso demands precision. Beans need to produce a concentrated, flavorful shot with depth and texture. The decafs in this collection are selected for their ability to create crema, maintain complexity under pressure, and pair beautifully with milk in drinks like cappuccinos and lattes.
Decaffeination That Protects Quality
The Swiss Water® Process removes caffeine using only water, time, and temperature, keeping flavor complexity intact. The sugarcane ethyl acetate method uses naturally derived ethyl acetate from fermented sugarcane to create a sweet, clean finish. Both processes protect the integrity of the beans for exceptional espresso performance.
Brewing Tips for Great Decaf Espresso at Home
– Use a fine, consistent grind for optimal extraction
– Dial in your shot timing — aim for 25–30 seconds per double shot
– Keep your equipment clean to avoid flavor contamination
– Store beans in an airtight container away from light and heat for maximum freshness
