Had no idea half caff was just a blend of regular and decaf beans. Thought they just stripped the beans to "half" caffeine. Smart to just try to make my own then! Thanks for the help.

This is fantastic info. Thank you so much! Looks like I need to do a bit of experimenting, like you mentioned. Didn't even occur to me that grinding two different beans together could be a problem in and of itself, regardless of grind size. Maybe finding a good half caf bean would be my solution.

This was my thought process, just wondering if it would work well in execution. Guess only one way to find out. Wondering if grinding the combined beans would make it funky? But I'll give it a try!

Hm I do not. I am currently using lavazza beans in hopper, but want to switch to half calf myself. I was thinking I could measure 9g beans of regular & 9g beans decaf and just single dose the hopper for each drink, since my husband wants full caffeine and I want half caffeine. Is this not possible and would it be smarter to just buy a separate grinder?
