    All info on our Decaf:

    What is Decaf, anyway?

    Decaf is coffee from which the caffeine has been removed with the help of a solvent. The law stipulates that decaffeinated coffee, or coffee that calls itself "decaffeinated", may contain a maximum of 0.1% caffeine. Of course, our Decaf complies with this requirement. It contains only 0.042% caffeine.

    What is the difference between LowCaf and Decaf?

    While Decaf are "normal" Arabica coffee beans from which the caffeine has been subsequently removed, LowCaf are coffee varieties that naturally contain less caffeine.

    Are there any tips for the preparation?

    Basically, you can use Decaf in the same way as you would use any other coffee. However, the Decaf bean is actually somewhat different from untreated Arabica beans, because the decaffeination process has changed the density of the bean. It is more porous. Das heißt, du solltest sie vorsichtiger mahlen: In the medium term, if you want to prepare your coffee to a good standard, we recommend that you get a really good grinder. Because even small adjustments to the grind can make a big difference. If the Decaf doesn't work with your normal espresso recet, then change the ratio of coffee to water.

    When can it make sense to switch to Decaf?

    Do you have trouble falling asleep at night? After drinking coffee, do you have the feeling that your heart is beating particularly fast? Are you nervous or a bit dizzy? After drinking coffee?

    We're not medical professionals, but these could all be symptoms that you're overdoing it with the coffee.

    If you are in any doubt, you should see a doctor.

    How was this decaf decaffeinated?

    We rely on the sugar cane method for our Decaf, because in comparison it gives the best result in the cup. Our Decaf tastes of ripe figs, brown sugar and dark chocolate. A flavour profile that is closest in taste to a non-decaffeinated coffee. We roast our Decaf for filter and espresso, so the best characteristics come into the cup for each preparation method.

    About the Coffee

    A delicious, mild decaf that hardly shows its decaf attitude. With our decaffeinated coffee from Huila, Colombia, we bring a great Decaf into your cup. A coffee with notes of hazelnut, chocolate and passion fruit - you can experience all this with Decaf in your cup, and without any caffeine. The Arabica beans are grown at an altitude of up to 1,900 metres on four different growing areas in the south of the province of Huila. It is a single origin blend: a harmonious interplay of the Castillo, Caturra, Colombia and Bourbon varieties is revealed in a coffee blend of the highest quality. The exciting flavour profile is intensified by the further processing steps of the coffee cherries. Lavado means washed in Spanish and refers to the gentle wetprocess method used to process the beans. The beans are then sprayed with steam, which opens fine pores. With the help of a natural solvent, ethyl acetate, which consists partly of vinegar and partly of natural extracts of sugar cane, the caffeine is now removed. This not only sounds sweet, but also tastes like it! The careful processing gives our Decaf its fruity-sweet aroma.

    Bloody Good Coffee

    – SINCE 2002

    Bloody Good Decaf

    Caffeine is a natural component in most coffee plants, as it protects the plant against insects and pests: Robusta coffee contains about 2-2.7% caffeine, Arabica varieties about half that: 1.4-1.6%. The relatively recently discovered low-caf varieties contain around 0.7%. Our Decaf has been gently decaffeinated using the sugar cane method and therefore tastes particularly sweet.
