Customers praised this Swiss Water® decaf for its rich, smooth flavor with chocolate notes. Many called it "the best decaf" they've tried, noting it tastes like regular coffee without bitterness or flat aftertaste. Some found it milder than expected. Customers appreciated the chemical-free process and versatile brewing.
Coffee is so flavorful and yummy, I love knowing it was safely decaffeinated without harsh chemicals.
Thanks for the feedback, Brenna. We appreciate you
I tried some different blends from Frequent. Full caff (Break of Dawn), half caf (Intermission), and decaf (Jitterfree Delight). Great coffee all around!
I started drinking decaf when I was pregnant but couldn’t find any that tasted as good as regular coffee! Finally found Frequent coffee which had the flavor of full caf without the buzz. I’m a few months postpartum now but still trying to keep my caffeine intake down so I’ve been drinking their decaf and half cafs!
great taste, great service
🙏
Best decaf on the planet. It’s evident that they put thought and passion into every batch. My afternoon coffee is now guilt free and delicious!
Thanks for the kind words, Stephanie!
Good roast not too dark solid product
Thank you!
It's definitely good coffee don't get me wrong... but all other Frequent coffees are just too good!
We'll take it ;) Thanks so much!
I drink decaf every night so I'm pretty familiar with decaf tastes, whats good and not and this brew from frequent coffee, once again has knocked it out of the park. Its rich in flavor, like biting into a chocolate bar without the overwhelming sugar taste. I highly recommend to all coffee drinkers across the board!
Thanks, Takejiro! We really appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic!
Thanks, William!
Love this decaf. A rich, smooth flavor with a lovely bit of chocolate note to it. Orders are processed and shipped quickly. They give friendly, helpful advice and quick responses to questions. After trying many other decafs this will be the company I'm sticking with Frequent.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Margie. We appreciate you 🙏
It is much milder coffee than I had expected. It doesn't taste like any Costa Rican Tarrazu that I have ever drank. I have been roasting green coffee beans for about 18 years because I like lighter roasted coffee than the average person. This is a light roast that is quite dark in color. All of the Costa Rican beans that I have ever roasted, including Tarrrazu, have been much more flavorful than this coffee. I did notice some brightness and the jasmine flavor that I have never tasted before in any coffee.
Hi there, thanks for the feedback and sorry the decaf didn't live up to your expectations. We just reached out to you via email as well ✌️
Great cup of coffee with full body, perfect for late afternoon work catchups.
Thanks for the kind words, Jose!
Really nice round chocolate notes, such a delightful cup to drink. Forgiving to brew in many different methods, it’s tough to get a bad cup out of these beans!
Thanks, Ryan! We really appreciate it ✌️
I ordered two different kinds of decaf coffee (Jitterfree and Sidekick) from Frequent on a whim after seeing an ad on social media, and I loved them both. If you use creamer, the Jifferfree decaf has a bit of a stronger flavor, which is why I bought a 5-lb bag of it after trying both. As many other reviewers have said, this is nothing like the tired old decaf that tastes like cardboard. This coffee smells and tastes like gourmet whole-bean coffee without impacting my sleep. Thanks to Frequent I can now finally drink coffee in the afternoons again! I highly recommend it.
Thanks for the kind words, Vanessa. We're stoked to hear you're enjoying our decaf!
Loved it! I made cold brew and it was perfect!
Amazing, thanks for the feedback!
Very smooth taste no bitterness
Thanks so much, Joyce!
Smooth, rich, and shockingly good for decaf! No bitterness, just pure flavor—my new go-to for late-night sipping.
Better than I expected. It actually tastes like good coffe lol
Way better than your average decaf
Amazing coffee and really cool packaging - makes great gifts (or buy it for yourself because the coffee is so good). We've bought coffee from them over 10 times and now we don't go anywhere else!!
Hard to believe it’s decaf. Smooth, rich, and no weird aftertaste. Really good coffee I can drink anytime.
I can't drink coffee after 3 pm, but this decaf one made my night!
Hands-down the best decaf I’ve tried. Smooth, sweet, and not even a hint of that “flat” taste you sometimes get with decaf.
Def recommend this coffee!
Great tasting decaf.
I use all 3 of their decaf blends, but find myself reaching for this one around 4pm when I used to need that caffeine pick me up. This gives me the coffee ritual without the late night jitters. So yummy!
Best decaf I've had
Makes sense people are saying Frequent Coffee has the best decaf! Delicious, especially for a water processed decaf, which in my opinion are much more fickle.

Common Questions
What is the Swiss Water® Process?
It removes caffeine using water, temperature, and time, with no solvents involved. Green coffee is soaked in a water solution already saturated with the soluble compounds that carry flavor. Because that solution is already full of them, only the caffeine migrates out of the bean. The caffeine is then captured on carbon filters and the solution is reused. The flavor compounds stay where they belong, in the coffee.
Is Swiss Water decaf completely caffeine free?
Not completely, and no decaf is. Swiss Water certifies to 99.9% caffeine free, which is the standard this lot meets. In practice that leaves a trace amount, roughly 2 to 7mg per 8oz cup against 80 to 100mg in a standard cup of coffee. Those are typical industry ranges rather than measured values for this batch. If you are avoiding caffeine on medical advice, talk to your doctor rather than relying on a category average.
Swiss Water or sugarcane EA, which should I pick?
Both are good. They just get there differently. Swiss Water uses only water and gives a clean, rounded, familiar cup, which is what you get here. Sugarcane EA uses ethyl acetate derived from fermented sugarcane and tends to preserve more sweetness and fruit character. If you want the classic chocolatey decaf that behaves like the coffee you already drink, Jitterfree Delight is the one. If you want more fruit and sweetness, try Sidekick, which is sugarcane EA.
What does it taste like?
Milk chocolate, cane sugar, and jasmine. Washed Guatemalan, roasted medium, so it is rounded and smooth rather than bright or fruity. This is the one to reach for if you want a decaf that tastes like a really good everyday coffee. It also holds up well with milk or creamer.
How should I brew it?
It is forgiving, which is part of the point. Drip, pour over, French press, AeroPress, and cold brew all work. One adjustment worth making: go a step coarser than you would for a full caf coffee. Decaffeination leaves the bean more brittle, so it breaks into more fines at the same grinder setting, and those fines over-extract and turn the cup bitter. Coarsening up keeps it sweet and clean.
How long should I let it rest?
1 to 2 days from the roast date. Freshly roasted coffee releases carbon dioxide for the first few days, which interferes with even extraction. Decaf off-gasses faster than full caf, so it settles sooner.
What sizes does it come in?
12oz and 5lb. The 5lb is there for households that drink decaf daily, offices, and anyone tired of reordering. Whole bean or ground to order in medium, fine, or coarse. Whole bean and grinding fresh will always taste better, but ground is there if you want it.
Can I get it on subscription?
Yes. Jitterfree Delight is one of our everyday decafs, so it is subscription-eligible at 20% off every order, with delivery from every week through every four weeks. You can pause, skip, or change it whenever you like.
How is this different from your other decafs?
This is the Swiss Water one, medium roast and chocolatey. Sidekick is sugarcane EA, sweeter and fruitier. After Dark Drip is the dark roast. Our black bag releases are experimental lots in 8oz, including the Red Bourbon that holds Coffee Review's highest score ever given to a decaf.
