1KG Whole Coffee Beans (DECAF) | Medium Roasting | Mild

For anyone who loves the ritual and flavor of grinding fresh coffee beans but wants or needs to skip the caffeine, finding a decent decaf bean can feel like a lost cause. Most of them taste flat, thin, or chemically altered. This 1KG bag from Black Donkey is an absolute game-changer. Flavor and Crema: The flavor profile is wonderfully robust and rich, drinking like a proper continental espresso. It is a medium-to-dark roast with a beautifully smooth, full-bodied texture and zero harsh bitterness. When run through a grinder and brewed (it performs exceptionally well in both bean-to-cup machines and manual espresso setups), it produces a lovely, thick, dark crema that you rarely see with decaffeinated beans. It carries deep, satisfying notes that cut through milk perfectly for a late-evening latte or flat white, but it’s clean and smooth enough to be enjoyed completely black. Quality of the Beans: Opening the 1KG bag, the beans are remarkably uniform, well-roasted, and have a healthy sheen without being excessively oily—meaning they won't clog up your machine's hopper or grinder burrs. The decaffeination process hasn't stripped away the natural oils and characteristics of the bean, leaving you with a fresh, aromatic cup every single time. Verdict: This is a top-tier, premium decaf that doesn't force you to compromise on taste or quality. Getting a full 1KG bag of whole beans at this standard is fantastic value for money. If you want a deeply satisfying, rich cup of coffee to enjoy in the afternoon or evening without messing up your sleep, this is the one to buy. Highly recommended!

When I opened the packet I was surprised how small the beans generally were and hoped this didn’t mean they were not good quality. Made my first coffee and was very pleasantly surprised to find they make a fabulously good coffee. Decaf is often a poor relation of coffee with caffeine but not this brand - it is great. Has a really deep intense taste. A wonderful surprise.

These are the best decaff coffee beans I have had at this price point. It was like trial and error finding a tasty and satisfying brand which you wouldn't know were decaf unless told in a blind taste test. It's a no brainer for you, just buy them as you won't be disappointed.

Nice taste. Set my machine to strong and it works for me. Not great value for money though. I will look for others to try

Bought this as my normal decaf beans were out of stock here on Amazon. Their loss as I'll be switching to Black Donkey now. Love the taste and smell - it genuinely has the flavor and strength of a good non-decaf roast and is a really good cup of coffee. I'm also really impressed with the crema that this delivers through my bean to cup machine an added bonus and contributes to a coffee house brew. Highly recommend you try it - and who knows you might switch as well.

Great coffee all round . Indistinguishable from caffeinated in terms of taste. Good crema Love it.

Exceellent strength coffee

This coffee is very weak, it tasted like water, very little aroma. I’ve tried many decaffeinated coffees and this is the worse one I’ve had, very disappointing, complete waste of money. I find Taylor’s decaf one of the best. I notice there’s no indication of strength on packaging.

Sehr gut im Geschmack und kein Bohnenbruch

Top kein bitterer Nachgeschmack

Intensiver, aromatischer Geschmack

Ein super Kaffee, der Preis ist für den Geschmack des Kaffees gerechtfertigt, ist auch ein sehr milder Kaffee da ich Probleme mit Sodbrennen habe. Diesen kann ich nur empfehlen 👍🏾

Eigentlich dachte ich, dass ich starken Espresso mag und vorangehende Rezensionen über Brandgeschmack übertrieben seien. Nun muss ich zugeben, dass ich nach einem Drittel der Packung aufgegeben habe.
