Lavazza Decaffeinated Coffee Beans, 500 g

Very good product

As described

Always drinking lavazza decaf beans

As a lover of strong black coffee, its sad that I’m now not allowed to have caffeine 😖 However I thought that by buying a well known coffee brand beans, I could have my love and observe doctors instructions. Oh how wrong I was, firstly it’s not coffee its at best weak brown water and secondly the only taste it has is chemicals. Before you ask if it’s my Breville bean to cup machine, I changed the grind settings to maximize the strength and that only achieved a slightly darker brown water. My search for decaf coffee beans continues….

es un excelente cafe sin cafeina con mucho sabor

If you don't want the jitters and still have a smooth, flavourful and satisfying cup of coffee, this is a gooder. All the decaffeinated coffee beans I've tried to date have been a lesser experience than regular beans: They are almost always dark roast (even the ones labeled medium-dark) and, understandably, the processing to extract the caffeine affects the integrity of the beans. It makes it tough to get the grind just right, lacks crema, and flavour that is just meh. Dek coffee is definitely in a different category; and more like the specialty espresso beans I've come to prefer. True medium roast that maintains more of the nuances of flavour. ☕️👌🏼

Très bon café déca. J'en ai essayer plusieurs et, le LAVAZZA me convient. Pas trop fort ni trop lèger. C'est ce qu'il me fallait. Je garderai celui là.

As I opened these Lavazza coffee beans the beautiful rich aroma reminded me of the smell and freshness of the full caffeine Lavazza beans. So I am stood there with my nose in the bag taking in this amazing aroma lol. I find that these beans are smaller in size than the full caffeine beans but in my opinion this does not detract from the quality and the smooth well balanced taste in which I did not detect any bitterness at all. These beans have a subtle nuttiness and a delicate fruitiness to them. They are bold without being too strong. A perfect fit for me. Honestly these beans are so good it’s hard to believe they are not full caffeine beans. I must admit I have tried a few different brands of coffee beans but these are now my absolute favourite for my bean to cup coffee machine. As far as the price is concerned I feel they offer value for money because of their quality even though the price is more expensive they are: 1. Italian coffee beans and: 2. They are decaffeinated using the water process whereas the cheaper brands use solvents in the decaffeinating process. In my opinion I give these beans a whopping 9/10 for the best decaffeinated coffee beans I have tried to date.

This is an amazing tasting espresso blend considering the fact that it is decaf. I try to limit my caffeine use to a few times a week and this coffee is a great option for those who like espresso, but can’t have caffeine. Taste is a very subjective thing. This is why I never take reviews at their face value when it comes to product involving ‘taste’ we are all different in that prospective. I’ve used up 1/3 of a bag in the process of dialing this coffee to yield a perfect shot of espresso. I bought myself breville barista espress, bare in mind I’m new to this so it took me 3 days and hours of watching youtube videos in the process of getting a perfect shot from this coffee. Be patient and you will eventually get it! Below I’m going to outline the basics of getting a drinkable shot from which you can fine tune and extrapolate to a shot that suits your pallet. First and foremost I’ve got to mention that I don’t drink starbucks, period. I think it is worth mentioning because it will give you idea about my palette. All starbucks taste to me like burnt, tasteless goo. If I do buy espresso, then it is usually from mom and pop shop. I’ve tried to pull a decent double shot from this, but no matter what I did it was either bitter or sour. In terms of yield (1:2) , and time (25+sec) it was supposed to taste more or less ok, but it did not. This is was the result of 2 days trial and error. I was on a verge of packing my espresso machine and returning it! On day three I had an epiphany! I’ve got to increase my output ratio. I wanted to stay in 20-30 sec range. And from my previous trials that would mean my double would have to extend beyond 30 sec mark. I decided to scale back to a single shot. Increase ratio to 1:2.5 within 25-30 time frame. The result was completely different, I finally got a decently tasting shot. Here’s my recipe: - 10g of coffee as measured in portafilter. - 5/3 i set my grinder to 5 on the inside (bore) and 3 as dialed on the outside wheel - firm tamp - run a single shot through empty portafilter to warm it up clean and load with 10g of grounded coffee - set your machine into manual mode (press program button on your BBE) - get your scale / shotglass set up under portafilter, get your timer ready - hit double shot button wait until first drops and start the timer. - observe scales. You’ve got to wait until scale reads 21-22g and then hit double shot button and stop the timer simultaneously. You should get about 2-4g as an afterflow. Your timer should read about 25sec +/- 2 sec. from here you can adjust to make a delicious shot that suits your taste. I’m going to eventually tune machine to get a double shot, but personally, i’m just fine with singles.
