    I got stuck in the basement due to some work on the house, away from my espresso machine and pourover. And I was cold, and it's afternoon, so a decaf sounded good and I'd been meaning to test this one, if nothing else to exercise my K-Cup testing setup.

    I always feel like our site is to quite fair to GMCR and other K-cups because they're not really trying to compare with specialty coffee. Nonetheless I try to be fair and partial and grade them in relationship. And some commodity producers score 2 and 3 stars, where we see GMRC in the 3.5 to 4.

    This is a satisfying decaf that's quite clean. It's light, clean and has good chocolate note and a little bit of baking spice. Though I think overall it's fairly non-descript. You get the sense that might be what are going for?

    Cupping Method:I grabbed this pod awhile back, I think from a Marriott in Portland, ME with a K-cup.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
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%).
