The Dekáf Brew Guide

Here’s a quick brew chart of our general recommended starting points for brewing a single cup (or shot) of Dekáf coffee.

A quick and kind note: 

Coffee is a personal experience and taste is wonderfully subjective. So while these brewing tips are here to help you get the best out of each roast, we always encourage you to experiment, adjust, and find what feels right for you. Play with the ratio, try a different method, and trust your palate. There’s no wrong way to enjoy a good cup!
