San Francisco Bay Coffee - Decaf Medium-Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee - Decaf Espresso Roast (2 lb bag) - Swiss Water Processed

This is very rich flavor dark roast coffee priced very reasonable compared to most others. One of the best decaffeinated coffees I have ever purchased.

excellent roasted flavor! lower in acid than other decaf beans because it's a darker roast. I will buy it again!

Coffee and food are difficult to review; what is that old saying? "One man's meat is another man's poison"? Others may like what I don't, and vice versa. This is an outstanding value, and it's okay to taste; I want my flavor to be more subtle. Fortunately, we have some world-class coffee roasters around my area, but you will pay twice as much. It is worth a try for the value; it is a lot of beans, so if you have a small office and want to run an expresso machine without the high price of an artisan roaster, this is for you.

I am sensitive to caffeine but love lattes, so I searched everywhere for a whole-bean espresso roast with a decaf option. This was one of the only options I found. Originally I thought the taste was too strong and bitter, but I realized it’s just a darker roast than I am used to. I got used to it and now I’m really happy with it.

As an espresso lover who tries to limit my caffeine intake, particularly in the evenings, I've tried many decaf coffee options that left me wanting more. San Francisco Bay Whole Bean Coffee's decaf espresso roast, however, truly satisfies my cravings for a rich, full-flavored decaf espresso. The dark roast beans have delicious notes that come through in the smooth, full-bodied brew. The quality of the beans is evident in the complex, aromatic flavor. Unlike some decaf coffees that taste flat or watery, this one is rich and as you would expect from high quality beans. I find myself wanting a second and third cup, not because I need an extra caffeine boost but because the taste alone gratifies my desire for an exceptional cup of joe. PROS: Rich, complex flavor comparable to non-decaf espresso Full-bodied mouthfeel without bitterness Fresh, high quality beans Decaffeinated so you can enjoy it day or night Packaged to maintain freshness CONS: More expensive than some other regular coffee beans Kinda need an espresso machine to brew properly For anyone looking for a delicious decaf espresso that doesn't compromise on bold, indulgent flavor, I can't recommend San Francisco Bay's decaf espresso roast highly enough. This is hands down the best decaf espresso I've found to satisfy my coffee cravings at any hour. I've bought it over and over in the last few years and it is consistently delicious!

I wanted to love this coffee. Despite being labeled decaf, it had a rich, robust flavor with a hint of espresso, exactly the taste I enjoy. But I chose decaf for a reason: I have heart palpitations and must avoid caffeine. I’ve never had issues with other decaf brands, but after drinking this coffee, I began experiencing tightness in my chest, whether lying down or standing, it felt like something was pressing on my breathing passage. I have WPW syndrome and occasionally experience dangerously high BPMs (between 115 and 200), but these episodes are rare when I avoid caffeine. Unfortunately, I had two palpitation episodes in one month after drinking this coffee. The second time, I tested it again to be sure, and had another palpitation that same day. Decaf coffee is never 100% caffeine-free, but most brands fall within the safe range of 97–99.7% caffeine removal. This one feels far outside that range. I suspect it contains significantly more caffeine than advertised. I’m not alone, another reviewer reported similar symptoms. If you have any health conditions affected by caffeine, please be cautious. This product may not be safe for sensitive individuals. I wish I could recommend it for the taste, but the health risks are too serious to ignore, and I hope this company will investigate the amount of caffeine residue before someone seriously gets affected.

I’ve tried them all—ground and whole bean—and nothing compares to San Francisco Bay’s Decaf Espresso. It’s the only one that actually comes close to the taste and body of regular espresso. No sour notes, not too light—just smooth, rich, and satisfying. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it. Plus, every bag I’ve received has been fresh and full of aroma. This is a staple in my kitchen and a lifesaver for anyone who loves espresso without the caffeine.

If you love Arabica espresso beans try this brand! I needed to switch to a decaf espresso for health reasons. My aniexty wouldn't allow me to drink my favorite regular espresso. It grinds beautifully. The color is the same color brewed as my caffeine filled espresso beans. The flavor is rich and not bitter. It pretty much matches my other bean in a side by side flavor test. I was amazed! Bonus: this bean isn't chemically processed and uses the Swiss water method. The value for what you pay is worth it! Plus I can add it to my subscription through Amazon. The freshness seems good. It smells amazing but there's no roast date. I'll keep you posted

The beans tasted very bitter, I have tried both espresso grind and filter coffee grind.
