What Is Low Caffeine Coffee?
Low caffeine coffee includes any coffee with significantly less caffeine than a standard cup. That might mean decaf (which removes ~97% of caffeine), or half caf, which blends regular and decaf beans to deliver balanced flavor with a gentler kick.
This collection is perfect for people who want to scale back without sacrificing taste, aroma, or quality.
Decaf vs Half Caf: What's the Difference?
Decaf Coffee
Decaf is coffee that’s been through a process to remove most of its caffeine content. While not caffeine-free, a typical 8 oz cup of decaf has only 2–5 mg of caffeine — compared to ~95 mg in a regular cup.
We offer decafs processed via:
– Swiss Water® Process — 100% chemical-free, smooth and clean
– Sugarcane EA Process — Naturally derived, subtly sweet, full-bodied
Half Caf Coffee
Half caf blends combine decaf and regular beans to create a middle ground — about half the caffeine of a normal cup, but full of body and complexity. Perfect for those who want:
– A little lift without the crash
– A gentler second (or third) cup
– To cut back gradually
Who Is Low Caffeine Coffee For?
Low caffeine coffee is ideal for:
– People looking to reduce caffeine intake
– Afternoon or evening coffee drinkers
– Expecting parents or nursing moms (with medical guidance)
– Sensitive coffee lovers who still want full flavor
– Anyone seeking a smoother daily ritual
Brewing Tips for Low Caffeine Coffee
– Decaf: Brew just like regular coffee, but avoid over-extracting — it’s already gentle, so aim for balance
– Half Caf: Treat it like a normal brew — espresso, drip, pour-over, French press — all work beautifully
– Tip: If you're making your own half caf at home, aim for a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of regular to decaf beans based on your caffeine tolerance
Frequently Asked Questions
Is low caffeine coffee the same as decaf?
Not exactly. Decaf has most of the caffeine removed, while low caffeine or “half caf” coffee is a mix of decaf and regular beans. Both have less caffeine — just in different amounts.
How much caffeine is in half caf?
It depends on the ratio, but typically about 45–50 mg per 8 oz cup — roughly half the caffeine of regular coffee.
Will I still feel the effects of caffeine?
Yes, especially with half caf. If you’re sensitive to caffeine, stick to decaf or try a smaller dose of half caf to see how you feel.
Does low caffeine coffee taste different?
Not if it’s roasted right. Our decaf and half caf options are crafted for flavor first — with tasting notes ranging from chocolatey and nutty to fruity and bright.
