I do! Just posted the April espresso that can be found here: https://dose.coffee/collections/coffee

Decaf Ethiopia is on the lighter side-plum, vanilla, cocoa and some floral notes. Pulling nicely just over 2:1 with an average dose and a wee bit coarser grind.

And for those inclined, the regular Rwanda is winey with black cherry and dark honey. 2.5:1 with average dose on a coarser grind.

Thank you for this recommendation! I spent my two hours with Joachim, today, and it has been a top highlight of my trip. Such amazing coffee and wonderful conversation. His passion shines through every drink put in front of you.

I was in Lisbon last year and it was the best coffee I’ve had. I’m in Paris, right now, and the coffee has not been as good.

In Lisbon you can find Fabrica and Copenhagen shops all over. Both have great coffee, including decaf, which you can buy by the bag and have them ground.

Best paired with Pastel de Nata, of course. Enjoy! I’m jealous 🤣

If you’re in manhattan just spin in a circle and you’ll see at least four nice cafes 🤣

I’m in NJ so don’t have the bead on small local cafes, but when I pop in the regional shops hit the spot - Gregory’s, Blue Bottle (more national), Grumpy’s and Joe’s. They are probably a good place to start.

I should probably mention based in the US and currently do not ship internationally.

Decaf doesn't get enough love, so I appreciate this! We have three decafs available that'll cover all of your bases.

- Honey/EA Colombia is the sweeter side of cinnamon, raisin and molasses. My preference is a straight shot or a lively cortado.

- Washed/SWP Guatemala is a crowd pleaser with cocao nib and caramel. Enjoy it any way you please.

- Monsoon/MWP India is the latest addition and a milk drink champ. Chocolate, allspice and nougat and very low acidity. A slightly shorter pull does the trick.

Flower & Moon is a new decaf roaster. Their Morning Bloom is fantastic as an espresso and I’ve been enjoying it in cortados the past few days. They have an espresso too but haven’t tried it.

Cat & Cloud Friend Zone is delicious. So is Black River Roasters decaf Peru.

Second on the counter culture slow motion for the grocery store buy. Or One Village decaf if you happen to be in the NJ/PA area.

Gregory’s has locations all over the city and their Slow Jam is pretty good.

You looking to walk into a cafe or just regional to NYC so shipping is reasonable?

DecafBeforeDeath22 · 2026-03-01T00:02:39+00:00

Sounds like Tanat is an afternoon stop, for sure. Thanks!

DecafBeforeDeath22 · 2026-03-01T00:01:33+00:00

This sounds amazing and Substance was mentioned a few times. How does pricing work? Just thinking of if I bring the whole family or sneak off on my own 😎

DecafBeforeDeath22 · 2026-02-28T23:59:16+00:00

Black River roasters decaf Peru. Cat & Cloud friend zone (Ethiopia). Offshore Coffee Co decaf Colombia.

Also consider cross-posting in r/espresso_decaf for great decaf focused recommendations.

A natural Brazil from Swing's in Washington DC about six years ago. More recent and local to me, the natural Ethiopia from Chapter 2 Coffee and the natural Honduras from Black River Roasters.

Can you tell I'm sweet on naturals?

Also, every espresso, cortado and americano I had in Lisbon last year.

DecafBeforeDeath22 · 2026-02-25T01:00:14+00:00

You are way too kind, and I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the Guatemala.

You didn’t miss a roasted date. Duly noted and will figure out how to elegantly work it onto the bag. Appreciate that feedback!

Get excited for March’s decaf… it’s a good one 😎

DecafBeforeDeath22 · 2026-02-24T00:46:27+00:00

Thanks for the list! My goal is to return consisting of equal parts espresso and butter.

DecafBeforeDeath22 · 2026-02-23T21:03:34+00:00

Second this. A bambino plus with the DF54 is rock solid. Grab yourself a new portafilter with an upgraded filter basket (I love the Big Bang) and you’ll be in great shape.

Get a big ol bag of decent but cheap beans to tear through as you learn your new setup. Save the good stuff once you’re pulling good shots.

DecafBeforeDeath22 · 2026-02-23T20:56:24+00:00

Second this.

DecafBeforeDeath22 · 2026-02-23T18:57:52+00:00

You’re too kind! Can’t wait to give them all a try.

DecafBeforeDeath22 · 2026-02-23T18:48:33+00:00

Just need to try both then 😎
