San Francisco Bay Coffee - Decaf Medium-Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee - Decaf Gourmet Blend (2 lb bag) - Swiss Water Processed

Fog Chaser was a gift 💝-I have been drinking San Franciso Dark Roast but the last bag was more acidic than usual, so I wanted to try something else. This Fog Chaser whole bean is fantastic! It’s very rich, smooth and velvety, but plenty strong without being bitter or burnt . The beans are oily as they should be and the coffee tastes very fresh. This is what I will be drinking from now on! I sent a gift bag to someone who also drinks French Roast (from a popular coffee house chain store), and she was also impressed and says she is switching to this coffee. I like their fair trade practices and the 2 pound bag is such a great value!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This Decaf coffee is GREAT!! I prefer to get the whole beans so that I know exactly what's in my cup and I've tried MANY brands. I'm also very picky about ONLY buying "water processed" so as not to have the chemicals used to decaffeinate coffee in my cup. This is probably my favorite in regards to taste and price. Love it!

I have purchased several blends from San Francisco Bay coffee company, so I will leave a brief blurb for each one. Overall, the company produces good whole bean coffee for the value. It smells and tastes fresh.Decaf Gourmet Blend: Very basic decaf coffee. It is only fine. It definitely has that rather flat, decaf taste. It was better than most decaf coffees from the grocery store, but still not something I really wanted to drink.Bay Bridge Blend: This coffee is supposed to be a medium roast, but in my opinion it is a pretty dark medium roast. It has good flavor that is bright and not too acidic. Still it is darker than I preferDecaf Bay Bridge Blend: Incredible! When I received my first bag of this decaf, which I decided to try since I didn't like the Gourmet variety, I was worried that someone had incorrectly labeled a bag of caffeinated beans because they smelled so delicious when I just cut the bag open. This decaf is far and away the closest I have tasted to regular. It has lots of character and flavor. I highly recommend San Francisco Bay Coffee just for this particular decaf blend, which absolutely deserves 5 stars!

I’ve tried them all—ground and whole bean—and nothing compares to San Francisco Bay’s Decaf Espresso. It’s the only one that actually comes close to the taste and body of regular espresso. No sour notes, not too light—just smooth, rich, and satisfying.I honestly don’t know what I’d do without it. Plus, every bag I’ve received has been fresh and full of aroma. This is a staple in my kitchen and a lifesaver for anyone who loves espresso without the caffeine.

I like to see shiny, oily, almost black colored beans when I open a bag of whole bean coffee. I know then that it is roasted the way I like it. I use the Organic Rainforest Blend in my Keurig coffee maker so I purchased the Organic Rainforest Blend whole bean for my percolator coffee maker. Great cup of coffee! Not overly dark but on the heavier medium side, smooth, and lots of flavor. The San Francisco Organic Rainforest Blend is the only coffee for me!

As any coffee lover knows there is an unbelievable amount of choices out there. Personally, we enjoy trying as many as we can in our coffee consumption journey. We had never tried this brand before and it’s at a fair price- at least on Amazon. It has a rich full body flavor but not too bitter or burnt tasting (I’m looking at you SB). Good coffee- good value - hard to beat.

Disappointing. Not a lot of flavor for a true coffee lover. Nice aroma out of the canister and grinder but not very much after brewed.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I visited a buddy at his house and had a cup of coffee made by his fully automatic coffee maker. (His is very similar to mine, but more expensive than the one I subsequently purchased here on Amazon.) Check out my review for that. Anyway, I was really impressed with the coffee he made. When I received the order, yup, it was as good as what I had experienced at my friend’s home. Just go for it, you’ll like it, too!
