Decaff Coffee that tastes like real coffee

[3kidsaremorethanenough]

Hi

Looking for a good decaff Coffee, have had to give up Coffee (stomach issues and not helping with anxiety 😫) But I really miss my morning cuppa any suggestions??

Thanks 😊

Posting because I'd like to know this too.

A colleague recommended matcha (sp)? powder or tea. Apparently it will still have the same effect as a cup of coffee but minus the anxiety and whatever else. I've tried it and it really doesn't hit the spot.

Instant or posher? :)

Instant I think Nescafé Azeera is pretty good but bloody expensive so look for it on offer (it is a lot in one or other of the supermarkets).

L’Or decaf is the best I’ve found

For instant I’ve found decaf Kenco ok

Kenco is very good.

Grumpy mule do a good decaf (ground beans, not an instant coffee).

Another vote for Kenco's decaf. Recently switched and its lovely

With decaf it's worth bearing in mind that the beans go stale much faster than caffeinated beans as the beans open more during processing. So I'd try to order in the smallest quantities you drink so that the beans are fresher, then you'll have a much better experience.

If you have a pod machine, I read a review that the Nespresso Volluto (decaf) is almost identical to the caffeinated version, so if you like that then that could be a good option.

Cornish coffee company was the best decaf I found but it's ground coffee not instant. I'm not really an instant coffee drinker so couldn't advise on those.
I have a nespresso machine now and some of the decaf coffee pods with that are nice but not amazing

For instant I agree with this. And I've tried a lot of really awful coffee.

Nescafé Azera but only when it's on offer.

Yes same here

I have researched this extensively!!

Lavazza decaf is hands down the best.

Café Direct Fairtrade the next best.

Ground coffee that is, rather than instant.

L'or decaf instant for me.

percol or clipper for instant coffee is the best, but any of the supermarkets "gold" instant coffees are fine.
I think decaff ground coffees seem to be a bit more hit and miss, but i think they are just generally weaker tasting, so use an extra scoop to decaff version of your favourite one.

I prefer percol decaff for instant coffee. It has a nice flavour and it's decaffeinated using CO2 rather than chemical solvents, if that's something you're concerned about.

If the stomach issues are caused by the acidity of the coffee, sorry to say decaf is still acidic.
I gave up coffee because of acid reflux and chronic gastritis about three years ago. It made a massive difference to me and certainly helped my anxiety (along with cbt).
I drink Whole Earth Coffee alternative from Holland and Barretts or Prewetts Roasted Chicory from Amazon. Ok they don't taste much like coffee but I feel as if I am drinking coffee if you see what I mean. Perfectly pleasant.

Lavazza decaf if you want the full on coffee kick , Cafe Direct Machu Pichu decaf is absolutely gorgeous if you want something less bitter.

Aldis decaff barista moments saved my life when i was pregnant-easily as nice as the nescafe but a lot cheaper x

Nespresso decaf pods are nice- you can't tell the difference. Bit of a splurge if you don't have a machine though!

Taylors of Harrogate. Delicious and helped me to ditch the caffeine for good.

I actually like Waitrose decaf - kind of a toffee flavour to it

I second Taylors of Harrogate, only one i have found that doesn't have that chemical decaf taste.

L’Or instant decaf for me too.
