Decaf is often an afterthought. Most roasters murder all subtlety and bring decaf into the oily dark pain cave of burnt sadness. That’s not how we roll. If you are drinking decaf, you do it ONLY for flavor so we honor that with a proper cup.

This Colombian sugarcane process coffee is outstanding. We roast this coffee to a balanced medium roast. I’m constantly in a state of over caffeination so I reach for this amazing decaf when I’ve had to cup a ton of coffee and want a moment to enjoy the ritual.

This is our decaf espresso offering and it performs quite well as espresso. In fact the crema is almost frustrating in how nice and thick it is.

“Got this one for a friend looking for a good Decaf. He couldn't find one, so I turned to Trailhead and they delivered. My buddy loves it!” -Jeffrey

DECAF BREW GUIDE

WILDERNESS VERSION:

Fill the grinder once.

45 seconds off the boil for your temperature. At 1700M/5000FT or above, skip the waiting and brew immediately.

Four pours with the first being slightly smaller to fill a 12oz insulated mug.

In colder weather, abandon any waiting and brew swiftly filling the brewer as high as you can until the mug is full. Cap it and let the remaining coffee drip into a second cup, sometimes called the desperation cup.
