Premium Decaf Instant Coffee — Brazilian Dark Roast, Decaffeinated, Smooth & Rich (5 oz)

Instant coffee and I haven't exactly been the best of friends. Every brand I've ever tried has left me with this lingering, unpleasant aftertaste that just ruins the whole experience. So, when I picked up this particular instant coffee, I didn't exactly have high expectations. But to my utter surprise, I was completely blown away! This instant coffee has become my absolute go-to for those crazy mornings when the thought of grinding beans and brewing a cup seems like a monumental task. So far, I've tried three different flavors from this company: 1) Cold Brew Coffee Granules Medium Dark Roast, 2) Decaf Granules, Medium Dark Roast Gourmet Coffee, 3) Colombian Coffee Classic Roast, and all of them have been amazing. I honestly don't have a favorite. Noteworthy is the texture: The decaf is a very fine grind that easily dissolves (even when added to a milk frother). In contrast, the Colombian coffee is a lot coarser. It still dissolves well, though, but it has blocked my frother wheel the first time I added it. It's easily remedied, though -- I just add it slowly with the frother already whirling. Overall, I am very happy with all three flavors!

mild and smooth. I use it to make my second cup of morning coffee mostly decaf. texture wise, sort of half way between dust and 'granules'. Dissolves well, so I guess I don't care.

Good. Very flavorful.

I'm shocked at the percentage of four- and five-star reviews for this "coffee." I have to conclude that all those people aren't aware of what good coffee is supposed to taste like. Yes, instant coffee is different (boy, is it ever). But "Civilized Coffee" would have you believe that they've found the magic formula to make great instant coffee. They haven't. Not even close. But I wondered, so I decided to try it. Total waste of money, as this isn't returnable. This has that peculiar aftertaste that all instant coffee has. Their using supposedly superior beans makes no difference. If you love good coffee don't come anywhere near this stuff.

I make ice coffee either this. Tastes great.

I enjoy half caf or decaf coffee, preferably iced in the evenings during summer and this was a delicious life saver. It blends well with tepid water. I recommend doubling the measurements of coffee to water (2tsp instead of 1, but with suggested water)

I sometimes get an urge for a cup of decaf in the evening. Normally I go through the same morning ritual except I’m using decaf beans. I ordered this to try after reading some articles about the improvement made in the instant coffee products. It tastes OK I guess. It’s not horrible but it didn’t exactly bowl me over either. For a quick decaf fix it works OK. Not bad, not great, but not bad……

Have been drinking this for a couple years since I got tired of making my pour over coffee every morning. I drink this plus the caffeinated version and completely satisfied with the taste. It dissolves immediately when you put the water on it. My girlfriend doesn’t care for the taste, but she loves, dark roast anyway. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but works for me. It’s great for camping and especially backpacking.
