Why Choose Half Caf Coffee
Half caf lets you enjoy coffee’s richness with a gentler caffeine level. It’s ideal for those who want a flavorful brew later in the day or for anyone adjusting their caffeine intake without making the jump to full decaf.
How Half Caf Coffee Is Made
Half caf blends combine regular coffee beans with decaf beans. The decaf portion is processed using methods like the Swiss Water® Process — which removes caffeine using only water, time, and temperature — and the sugarcane ethyl acetate method, which uses naturally derived ethyl acetate from fermented sugarcane for a clean, sweet finish.
Flavor You Can Count On
Because half caf is blended from fully roasted regular and decaf beans, it maintains the body, aroma, and complexity you’d expect from your favorite coffee. Whether you prefer a bright, fruity cup or a rich, chocolatey blend, half caf can deliver.
Brewing Tips for Half Caf Coffee
Half caf can be brewed exactly like any regular coffee — drip, pour over, French press, espresso, or cold brew. Use fresh beans, grind to match your brew method, and enjoy the balance of flavor and gentler caffeine.
