Stone Street Swiss Water Decaf Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, 1 Lb

God bless the wonderful souls who took the time and effort to make this magical decaf happen. There is a special place in heaven for you. I have searched high and low for years and this is hands down the best decaf I have ever had. It’s better than a lot of caffeinated coffees.. it doesn’t even taste like decaf. It tastes and feels like I'm drinking a cup of pretentious caffeinated coffee from my favorite hipster coffee shop. It has a deep, rich flavor and aroma, though the beans seem like a lighter roast. There’s no bitterness or acidity. Just a smooth, balanced cup of joe. My coffee-loving, anxiety-prone nerves are beyond grateful.

It has an excellent taste. Caffeine doesn't like me and the herbal "coffee" I had been using tasted awful with a new recipe for a coffee drink. So this tasted just heavenly after not drinking coffee for over a year. The water processed decaffeination makes me feel comfortable drinking it without a ton of added chemicals. And compared with what I remember of regular coffee is a high quality taste without that bitter aftertaste that cheaper brands (like Folgers and Maxwell House not to mention grocery store brands) tend to get, well at least if you don't make them just right which was never my strong suit. I am almost finished with my first bag and haven't had a bad cup yet. I haven't decided if I am going to reorder this or experiment with another brand next but I do know that this is one I would continue to drink.

I heard about this coffee when someone on You Tube happened to mention it. It’s pricey, but the quality and flavor are worth it to me. This coffee proves that just because you are drinking decaf, it does not mean you have to give up taste!

Due to having anxiety issues, I was informed to start using a decaf coffee that used the Swiss Water Process. For many years, I have been drinking Folgers or Maxwell House decaf. And where I was only drinking a cup once a week or so, it just wasn't satisfying my coffee craving. So I searched and searched Amazon and beyond to see all the options for SWP decaf. There were so many! I was able to narrow it down by omitting those brands that didn't show the SWP label on their packaging, cuz who knows? Well, this one stated Mayan Water Process but the reviews were all pretty good. It arrived a day later than it should have, but that's okay. I opened the bag this morning and WOW. The aroma of a fantastic coffee smell filled my nose. I think I actually had goosebumps. haha! So I brewed a cup like I normally do and the smell was amazing and the taste was even better. I usually use a medium roast and this tasted just a bit on the darker side; which I loved. Very robust, not bitter at all, and no issues with anxiety...so far, no tummy issues either. I may go back to drinking coffee every day again! The packaging is very basic; which is fine too. One very satisfied customer to have REAL coffee back in my life!

I have become a huge fan of the Mayan Decaf coffee because of the Swiss water method of eliminating the caffeine. Before being introduced to this brand, all other decaf coffee had a strange, chemical taste. This tastes like caffeinated coffee, and is also very smooth with no bitter after taste. I also don't find it highly acidic, so I can enjoy a cup of this as iced coffee in the afternoon.

Disclaimer: I have not tasted lots of decaf coffee, so I have little to compare this to. But I can tell you that if your water is even a few degrees above 200°F, it will bring out a strong acidic taste from this coffee. When the temperature is right, it just tastes okay. I don't love it. The flavor is not very smooth or strong, just mediocre like something you'd get at McDonald's. Will not be buying again.

Best decaf I have had, hands down. I run it on my Coffee Ninja as a bold brew and it is perfect. Super smooth but with good body too it. No bitterness or bad aftertaste. If that's what you like in a coffee as well then I'd highly recommend it. Reminds me a little of Starbucks black nitro cold brew but hot. Which makes me wonder how this would do as a nitro. Might have to give it a shot!

Hands down the best cup of coffee I've had. I really love coffee, unfortunately I can't drink regular all day like I did when I was young. This decaf is so smooth. Very very little acidic taste. Worth every penny. I do wish the large package had free prime shipping without the seller raising the price first (maybe Amazon changes the price).
