    A pleasant and convenient hotel room decaf nightcap that drinks light and smooth. A lot better than some recent hotel room coffee I've had. Wouldn't say there's a distinguishing characteristic beyond light and smooth. Maybe a very light peanut and milk chocolate. There's some very simple natural sweetness. I had never heard of 230 West before. Nice to see the coffee is Rainforest Alliance Certified.

    Cupping Method:At Marriott Courtyard Midtown West, comes as a filter pack for a Cuisinart hospitality brew basket.

Roast Level: Medium
Medium roast coffee balances the beans' natural flavors and the roasting process, providing a well-rounded taste profile. When selecting a medium roast, look for a balance of acidity and sweetness, with caramel, nuts, and chocolate notes and a medium body.
Decaf
Decaffeinated coffee has undergone a process to remove most of the caffeine content while preserving its flavor and aroma. There are three primary decaffeination methods. The solvent-based method involves soaking coffee beans in water to dissolve the caffeine, followed by adding a solvent, such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, to bind to the caffeine molecules selectively. The Swiss Water Process (SWP) is a chemical-free method that relies on the principles of solubility and osmosis. Finally, the carbon dioxide method involves using supercritical carbon dioxide to extract caffeine from the coffee beans. Decaf coffee typically retains most of the flavor and aroma of regular coffee but with a significantly reduced caffeine content (around 2-3%).
