Recommended for this coffee
French PressDripCold Brew
Drip / Pour-over
1:17 ratio (e.g. 30g coffee : 510g water) · Medium grind · 195–205°F water · 3–4 min total brew. Bloom for 30 sec with 2x coffee weight in water before pouring the rest.
French press
1:15 ratio · Coarse grind · 195°F water · Steep 4 minutes · Plunge slow and even. Pour off immediately — leftover grounds in the press over-extract.
Espresso
18g in / 36g out · Fine grind · 25–30 sec extraction · 200°F. Dial in grind first — finer = slower extraction.
Cold brew
1:8 ratio · Coarse grind · Steep at room temperature 12–18 hours · Strain through fine mesh or paper filter. Concentrate — dilute 1:1 with water or milk to serve.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common questions about this coffee.
What does the 50/50 Half Caff French Roast taste like?
Deep, smoky French-roast flavor that is bold and full-bodied with a smooth, low-acid finish — and half the caffeine. USDA Organic, 100% Arabica.
How much caffeine is in the Half Caff?
About half a regular cup — typically around 45 to 60 mg per 8 oz brewed cup, versus about 90 to 120 mg for full caffeine. It blends 50% regular and 50% Swiss Water decaf beans. Caffeine varies naturally with brewing method, serving size, and preparation.
How is it made half caff?
It is a 50/50 blend of our regular beans and Swiss Water Process decaf beans, so you get full dark-roast flavor with fewer jitters. The decaf half is decaffeinated with only water, no chemicals.
Is the Half Caff a true dark roast?
Yes — it is a full French (dark) roast, bold and smoky, just with half the caffeine.
What is the shelf life of your coffee?
Unopened, in our original bags with the one-way freshness valve, our coffee has a best-by date of 18 months from the roast date. Once opened, plan to use ground coffee within 2-3 weeks and whole bean within 4-8 weeks for peak flavor, though it remains safe to drink well beyond that.
Should I buy whole bean or ground coffee?
Whole bean delivers better freshness and flavor, beans don't start oxidizing until they're ground. If you have a grinder, whole bean is the way to go. If you don't, ground coffee is convenient and stays fresh in the sealed bag for several weeks. We sell both formats for every flavor in this lineup.
