365 by Whole Foods Market Decaf Buzz Free Ground Coffee, 10 OZ

The flavor is just as I like it - not decaffeinated with chemicals. I'm picky about the roast flavor; finally found one I really like. I wish it was organic, but this is a start.

When we could no longer get organic Swiss water decaf coffee beans in bulk at our usual store, we had to look elsewhere. I did look - a lot. I finally decided on these and we have not been disappointed. I bought a coffee grinder https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D78ZR3ZH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 and we were all set. This coffee is more affordable than many of the others I looked at, and tastes great. We use the Toddy Cold Brew System and I recently switched to organic cotton bags, which work great. I grind half the bag of coffee beans (12 oz.) and cold brew them in the Toddy. The resulting coffee is excellent.

I've been ordering these large bags of decaf coffee through Amazon for a while. I trust the Whole Foods brand, and have been satisfied with their "Buzz-Free Decaf." I would prefer a light roast (this is dark), but the price is right, the flavor is OK, and my 3 cups a day go down without the negative effects of caffeine. Recommended!

Flavorful and an attractive price

I had to avoid caffeine for health reasons and historically diverted to drinking caffeinated coffee anyway because all decaf versions I had tried either tasted much worse or left me significantly more bloated. This one tastes JUST like regular coffee and doesn’t leave me feeling like a balloon after a few cups (likely because of the decaffeinating method being legitimately more natural here, not just claiming it is, by not using chemicals). Not to mention it’s much more affordable than other cold-water processed decaf brands out there

Photo shows comparison with other coffee brands. I am by no means a coffee connoisseur, but I've been drinking my share of Joe for over 4 decades now. So I think I know a little. This stuff is in no way a "light to medium" roast. This stuff is BURNT. It's nearly black, and it has a sour, burn-y smell that is off-putting. I will amend this review after I've actually tasted it, but suffice it to say, this gives Starbucks' French Roast--their darkest--a run for it's money. While I can easily see the coffee oils on the beans (a good thing), there are also MANY broken pieces of bean throughout the bag, almost as if they took all the leftover coffee "bits & bobs," from other batches, threw them in a roaster, packaged them up, and said, "Meh--good enough." I bought this just to try something new, and because for the price you get 2 lbs worth, a good deal in the coffee world. I hope I'm not disappointed. So Amazon and Whole Foods, I truly HOPE it it's worth the money because otherwise, it's good for nothing other than making a body scrub or plant mulch out of it. EDIT: Keeping my 3 star review. On its own, this coffee is nothing to write home about. It definitely has a "burnt" flavor lurking in the background, so I opted to mix it with a more "normal" lighter brew to see if that would help. It did, thankfully. However, that doesn't excuse the false claim of "light to medium roast" advertised on line and on the bag itself. I wanted so badly to really like this stuff. Thankfully, I got a refund on it. AMAZON/WHOLE FOODS/365...DO BETTER PLEASE.
