Description
Mountain Water Process (MWP) decaf is a premium, chemical-free decaffeinated coffee, often sourced from the Mogiana or Sul de Minas regions. Using pure, glacier-fed water from Mexico’s Pico de Orizaba, this method removes 99.9% of caffeine while preserving the natural, nutty, and chocolatey flavors of the Brazilian bean.

When you’re grinding whole beans it turns out decaf can be a little different than what you’re used to. It took me an entire bag before I realized what I was doing wrong and got my first nice cup. For reference my setup is an Aeropress and a 1Zpresso JX-Pro hand grinder. In my case to get the best of the beans the key was grinding larger than usual (30 ticks on my grinder) and using more coffee (about 1.5 to 2 times than usual). Before it would come out weak on flavor but extremely sour, but today I managed to get out of it something that reminded me fruit, apples mostly, with a walnut aftertaste. It had just a hint of tartness, but otherwise it came out mild and sweet. It’s different, so you just have to play with it a little.

Tried this before then was gifted a few bags of whole beans for Christmas. This is one of my favorite local decaf coffee blends. I grind my own beans, and I’ve used it for a Mocha pot and french press and the flavor was amazing. You definitely need to find the right grind or at it can be a little dark, but it’s perfect for espresso which is what I mainly make. I have used it for a regular cup of coffee and it still tastes great!
