"As a reformed coffee snob, who now is a decaf coffee snob, I was seriously impressed with the Las Palmas coffee. It was seriously funky - just like what I used to drink when I was a speciality coffee snob. I don't think I could tell the difference between it and a caffeinated version.
If decaf like this is possible, then the future is bright."
David Law
"Have been trying to find a good low / no caffeine option for a long time without success. Tried these guys SloMo brew on the recommendation of a friend and am blown away. Really interesting options and full on taste. Love it"
James Ritchie
"I need to watch my caffeine intake for various reasons, but I've always loved coffee - both for the ritual and the taste!
Having something new regularly has really helped. The flavour here is way better than other subscriptions, you can tell they haven't skimped on quality."
Mike Pryke
More About the Project
This is the experiment coffee has been missing. One coffee from Finca San Miguel Urias in Guatemala's Antigua Valley, split four ways at the same mill on the same day. Same cherry, same pulper, same drying patio. Only the microbes changed. Four cups, one variable, and a rare chance to taste exactly what fermentation does.
How it will work
Craft Decaf
About Us
Welcome to Craft Decaf, where we're on a mission to say no to sh*t decaf! ☕️✨ We've all been there - craving a delicious cup of coffee without the caffeine kick, only to be let down by a brew that tastes like it's been left out in the rain. Well, not anymore! We're here to bring you decaf that's bursting with flavor and character, proving that decaf can be just as exciting as its caffeinated counterparts.
What Makes Us Different
We believe in doing things differently:
Why We're Excited
Fermentation is the most exciting thing happening in coffee right now, and almost none of it has reached decaf drinkers yet. That is the gap we spend our year trying to close.
Most of our time goes into persuading the producers we work with to do something braver with the coffee they set aside for decaffeination. A yeast-inoculated lot. A longer contact time. A process nobody has tried on a decaf because nobody has ever asked. Those conversations only work if we properly understand what the microbes are doing, and this project is the best possible education in exactly that.
By working with James Hoffmann again after the Decaf Project in 2024, our aim is to continue to push the boundaries of what decaf coffee can be.
