WICKED JOEOrganic Coffee Breakfast Blend Whole Bean, 12 OunceUSDA OrganicFair Trade CertifiedFair Trade CertifiedFair Trade Certified

I normally have just one caffeinated flat white in the morning to get me going, but lately, I've had a craving for an espresso drink in the afternoon, too. Since my local Safeway doesn't carry much in the way of decaf whole bean varieties, I decided to check Amazon and am glad I did. After looking at countless brands and reading a ton of reviews, I settled on Wicked Joe's French roasted decaf. Color me impressed. It smells delicious and tastes even better. If someone served me this without telling me it was decaf, I wouldn't have guessed. I like it just as much if not more than my caffeinated bean of choice. I will continue to purchase this for the foreseeable future. YUM! Since I only drink espresso with steamed milk, I can't speak to how this would taste brewed using other methods, but I can't imagine it being any less tasty.

I have tried so so many french blends, dark roasts, and decaf variations of such. Some are bitter or lighter than I would like. Some are weaker or have too much chocolate notes. The perfect coffee, in my personal opinion, is a Smokey smooth dark roast. This coffee is exactly that. I brewed mine in a French press the day after grinding the beans, which allows me to up the strength by letting it brew longer. For the first time brewing in a press I let it brew about 10 minutes, which is the minimum. And it was excellent. I may push to the 15-20 mark for a stronger taste. I normally drink Starbucks dark French roast. This coffee is the PERFECT alternative. I am one happy individual.

I had to change over to decaf coffee for health reasons. I was concerned that the coffee wouldn't taste as good or be as strong as the regular coffee I had been drinking, yet, this coffee was a fantastic find. Flavor is rich and bold, just as I like it. I have now purchased this a couple of times and will buy it again.

The quality of this product was fine. It's a very smooth coffee and the price is pretty standard for where I'm at. I felt that the flavor of this coffee was very muted, it didn't really taste like anything but plain coffee which I found a little disappointing. If you aren't the adventurous type and you just want a standard cup of coffee, this would be a good pick for you. I've tried other types of their coffee, their french whole bean is my all time favorite coffee at the moment.

When I am in Maine, this is the coffee we always buy for home brewing. When we are away we miss it so I was happy it is now available on Amazon. It tastes great, the beans have a nice sheen to them, which indicates freshness to me and equally important, it is organic and fair trade!

My doctor wants me to drink decaf instead of regular. I drink Starbucks French Roast Whole Bean which I grind and do a pour over coffee. This Decaf has a good bite to it; and it tastes strong. It is a Dark Roast. Since Starbucks French Roast is dark and smokey I wanted something that comes somewhat close; this coffee fits the bill. I enjoy it and most likely will order again

It smells good but the taste is very thin and watery. My ratio of coffee to water was very high and it just wasn't strong at all, especially for a French Roast. Still hunting for a Starbucks Verona replacement that's water processed. I hate that it's the best decaf out there

Wicked Joe Breakfast blend has fast become my favorite coffee. It’s one of only a few brand i will by ground, as whole bean for Breakfast Blend is very hard to find. WB is my preferred type. This is smooth, never bitter, milder, with that “chocolate chip” note that draws my attention. I love how Wicked Joe puts the notes their coffees have, which helps me pick the one right for me
