    I felt like decaf while I was staying at the Marriott but had actually drank the pack of Royal Cup the Marriott gave me the night before. I noticed that the lobby had a Starbucks machine with Pike's Place Decaf so I gave it a shot.

    It's not the most complex coffee, but it is nicely chocolate, nutty and smooth. The acidity is balanced and has a hint of orange. I'd say the nuttiness is probably the standout characteristic. It's hard to stop drinking once it cools off a little.

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%).
