Everything you know about Decaf is wrong

Remove caffeine from coffee and what are you left with? Just air? Some burnt bitter drink that gives you a headache and leaves you miserable for the rest of the day?

The oldest joke about Decaf Coffee is "What's the point?"

Coffee without the coffee seems stupid, doesn't it? Well of course it does, IF coffee was actually 100% made of caffeine. But here's the stitch: you've been LIED to your entire life! Caffeine actually only makes up about 2% of coffee, there's still 98% super nutrients remaining and while most of us drink coffee for the kick, there's also something else that keeps us coming back each morning.

Well, I have a theory that decaf coffee is actually a super food (drink) and to prove that, I tricked a couple of my customers into drinking decaf coffee without knowing it and filmed their responses.

Watch the fun and then watch the explanation and tell me if you think I'm right or wrong.

but always... enjoy your brew!

I am super passionate about coffee and educating people on all aspects of this amazing drink. I love bringing the stories back from the other side of the world about how they grow and process the coffee differently on each farm, in each region, and in each country. I also love helping baristas around the world make better coffee for themselves, whether they're at home, professional, competitors and or even just venturing out into the wide world of coffee.

Switching to this decaf this year has been awesome. Can’t tell the difference.

I've been getting into decaf more this year. In my 20s I could down 6-7 coffees and sleep by 10pm, not anymore lol. Unfortunately in Vietnam many arabica coffee roasters/retailers don't know how their decaf is made, making me a little cautious.

This decaf is exceptional - I use these beans for espresso martinis and coffees after 4pm

Thanks for this video, my local roaster uses swiss water decaf and it's great as a Latte or Ice coffee :)

I only drink Organic (Swiss water method) Decaf, by choice. Im very health conscious and wanted the Healthy Benefits of Coffee.
I don't want the caffeine. ☕

decaf? what's the point of drinking it???

Hi Ryde, I'm buying a new machine. I'm inclined to buy the rancillo entry level machine. All the videos suggest I have to run water through the machine to fill up the boiler before starting. Is that right? If so, that's a deal breaker for me. I can just imagine waking up, slightly hung over or sore from golf and forgetting to flush the water through. What are the risks in not doing it?

I've tried decaf. It's not unpleasant. It's like hearing an amusing joke without laughing, or making love without finishing. It's nice, but there's an element missing.
