I'm a former barista with a full semi-commercial coffee bar setup. I recently started switching to decaf after 2 pm for my sleep quality and was worried that the quality would be lesser, as most decafs I've tried tend to be watery or weak. Not Carlin Brothers Coffee! The shots pull just as well as the full caff and there is no difference in flavor, quality, mouth feel, or even crema. These beans have earned a permanent spot in my coffee setup, and if you're looking for a quality decaf option, this is it.
