Our daily coffee
This is our go to coffee at home. Great flavor and it is Swiss Water processed. That is very important for us with decaf coffee- do not buy the regular decaf, only look for Swiss water process so that it is naturally processed for removing the caffeine (not removed by chemicals).

Delicious and doesn’t give me heartburn
I was always under the impression that if I had heartburn from coffee, it was probably the caffeine. Then I was told it might be the decaf coffee I bought to try. Apparently many brands of decaf use some kind of chemical, and that chemical is also sometimes irritating to the esophagus and stomach. . This is naturally decaffeinated, and that has made all the difference.

Definitely NOT “medium” roast!
Photo shows comparison with other coffee brands.
I am by no means a coffee connoisseur, but I’ve been drinking my share of Joe for over 4 decades now. So I think I know a little. This stuff is in no way a “light to medium” roast. This stuff is BURNT. It’s nearly black, and it has a sour, burn-y smell that is off-putting. I will amend this review after I’ve actually tasted it, but suffice it to say, this gives Starbucks’ French Roast–their darkest–a run for it’s money. While I can easily see the coffee oils on the beans (a good thing), there are also MANY broken pieces of bean throughout the bag, almost as if they took all the leftover coffee “bits & bobs,” from other batches, threw them in a roaster, packaged them up, and said, “Meh–good enough.”
I bought this just to try something new, and because for the price you get 2 lbs worth, a good deal in the coffee world. I hope I’m not disappointed. So Amazon and Whole Foods, I truly HOPE it it’s worth the money because otherwise, it’s good for nothing other than making a body scrub or plant mulch out of it.
EDIT: Keeping my 3 star review. On its own, this coffee is nothing to write home about. It definitely has a “burnt” flavor lurking in the background, so I opted to mix it with a more “normal” lighter brew to see if that would help. It did, thankfully. However, that doesn’t excuse the false claim of “light to medium roast” advertised on line and on the bag itself. I wanted so badly to really like this stuff. Thankfully, I got a refund on it. AMAZON/WHOLE FOODS/365…DO BETTER PLEASE.

Please Keep IN STOCK1
Iâve never liked coffee, but since drinking this brand- Iâm in love. Itâs very strong, but blends well with my cafe protein shake. The color is dark, but I let it steep for about 15-20 minutes. I do my best to get it strong. Its aroma is amazing and reminds me of childhood. The acidity is a bit much for me, but I donât notice it once I add my heated, plant-based protein as creamer. The smoothness is just right for my reason for drinking. Please get it back in stock!

Tastes good, delivered, organic = perfect
I buy this in between trips to Whole Foods. It’s one of the few decaf organics available. I use 6 coffee scoops to 18 oz. of water and make my coffee in a little Melitta coffee pot using Melitta unbleached coffee filters.

Excellent value. Water-processed, organic coffee. Fresh aroma. DARK roast, but isn’t bitter.
This decaf by 365 Whole Foods Market, is an excellent value for water processed decaf which is organic!
Like others, I was hoping for a medium roast, but this is a DARK ROAST. Even so, it delivers a non-bitter, smooth cup. Perhaps Whole Foods would consider adding a medium roast (pretty please) to this line! Other than my personal roast preference, this is an excellent decaf and value.

Great affordable decaf beans
I was trying to find decaf beans that make good coffee, specifically cold brew, that are more affordable. The last bag I tried before this was awful, but I thought I’d try these before going back to the more expensive ones I was using. I am not disappointed with these at all. Plenty strong enough and not bitter or acidic. I’ll buy them again

Good Decaf Coffee, Good Price!
I’ve been ordering these large bags of decaf coffee through Amazon for a while. I trust the Whole Foods brand, and have been satisfied with their “Buzz-Free Decaf.” I would prefer a light roast (this is dark), but the price is right, the flavor is OK, and my 3 cups a day go down without the negative effects of caffeine. Recommended!
