    Surprisingly, almost shockingly solid decaf that I had at Gillette Stadium. I had this decaf coffee, almost out of desperation as I got soaked at the New Revolution game. I found it smooth with good flavor, almond nuttiness, a slightly caramel sweetness, and a citrus note. The finish has a bit of guarana perhaps. I thought maybe I picked up a note of robusta at the end but still very good. It was a lifesaver on a chilly evening. Although I don't think it's necessarily what I seek out as a specialty coffee lover, it is excellent for big concession coffee and I will happily have it on another Pats/Revs evening.

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%).
