Recommend your decaf coffee

kateisgreat

At my (super crappy) grocery store, my only options for decaf are folgers, and generic. I just tried the folgers decaf and it tastes.... weird. Is that just how decaf is? Any recommendations for some that doesn't have an odd aftertaste? I have a keurig by the way, but don't usually use the k-cups. I was considering the green mountain breakfast blend decaf, which is my favorite caffeinated coffee. 

I know I can still have a few cups of regular coffee, but I'd like some decaf also. My MW told me to get some to keep me regular

Green mountain is good!
I have gotten lazy and I go to starbucks and get a half and half everyday! Have to cut that habit

We have a keurig, and I like the Starbucks Blonde decaf.  They don't sell the k-cups that I have seen so far, but we have one of those re-usable cups that you can put grounds in.

Green mountain has a half caf that is what I have been drinking and I love it! No funky taste and it still gives you a little boost of caffeine. They are available in the kcups.

Green Mountain Breakfast blend Decaf is the one I use for my keurig machine - to me it is the best decaf I have tasted so far.

I've used foldgers decaf kcups and only have it on weekend mornings. It's alright but definitely not as good as caffinated coffee. I found If i drink it at night I can't sleep bc it has a little caffeine in it. Next I'm going to try dunkin donuts decaf k cups. Weirdly since pregnant I don't really want coffee or hot drinks much at all. I think decaf tastes a little off too.

Thanks ladies! I'm glad to hear that not all decaf tastes bad.

I use donut house decaf. I like it ok but definitely not as dark a roast as like normally.

Do you have a keurig?  I've heard that if you're going to go decaf you should also try to go organic because they use so many chemicals decaffeinating the coffee that it's almost worse for you.  I just bought some Newmans Own Organic Decaf, but I'm alternating it with a cup of regular coffee -as long as I'm under 200 mg I feel ok about it.  Also my coworkers and anyone else who has to deal with me appreciates it when I get some caffeine

It's not coffee, but Keurig's Chai Tea Lattes are the BEST. They don't say it directly on the box, but they're decaf (I called the company and asked).

I'm a big coffee drinker, and I've had to switch to decaf too.  Sucks.  Sucks sucks sucks.

I've tried a lot of coffees and haven't found a decaf that's good for more than a couple of days after opening it.  I finally went for whole bean.  This seemed to help. I've also gone for strong flavors: French Press/French Roast or full-on flavored.  

I'm getting my coffee at a local coffee house that flavors the beans on location. For me, freshness has been key.  

It's still not awesome.

I have a Keurig, and hands down my favorite coffee is Newman's Own Special Blend. It's organic, and it is a "extra-bold medium roast" so it has the perfect balance (I think). And I love the fact that it comes in K-cups.

It definitely comes in Decaf (which is what I switched to being pregnant). They sell it at Target, Amazon.com, and even Costco (so you can buy it in bulk)!

I am not sure if the Decaf is sold in bulk at Costco, but you can usually get a smaller box (with either 10 or 18 K-cups per package) for like $12. It really is my favorite, and I don't drink any other coffee (unless I'm out to breakfast at a restaurant)
