Square Mile Coffee - Decaf Espresso

Square Mile does a terrific job with their Decaf Espresso. The tasting notes are forefront with each sip, complimented by the beautifully strong aroma, and well balanced acidity.

My only complaint is that now I can't go back to my cheap decaf espresso beans ;)

James Hoffmann’s roaster didn’t disappoint. This was a delightful espresso with great body. Flavour clarity was definitely there on the cherry and orange, but I had to grind it significantly coarser than other espressos or other decafs to find the best clarity on it. I bet it holds milk drinks great, but I didn’t try this myself. Would definitely do again. Note that the price is for a non-standard 350g, so actually cheaper than it seems on a per-gram basis.

I've honestly never found a decaf option that I've enjoyed as much as regular beans, but this is the closest I've got. It's a good espresso for milk based drinks. I wouldn't necessarily drink it straight. Good if you want to throw some fun syrups and things in there like chocolate or vanilla. I'm a big fan of Daddy Hoff, but unfortunately for me this was a bit expensive for what I got. Maybe it's just not for me. For now, I'll still be on the hunt for that decaf espresso that checks all my boxes.

Tried this after the doubleshot decaf was out of stock. A good alternative and I’ve bought it a few times since, but is a tiny bit darker with a bit less flavor than doubleshot decaf.

This is delicious decaf that I've been enjoying for an after-dinner espresso. I've tried many decafs and am often disappointed - this is the first bag I've polished off in recent memory!

Has the usual vinegary taste when extracting espresso. Feels like a more medium roast otherwise. Some caramel/chocolatey flavours. Pulling 1:2.5 ratio shots at lower temps.

It's not your typical decaf where you know you're drinking a decaf.
