“ How good is the new breed of decaffeinated coffee? To find out, The New York Times held a blind tasting of seven decaffeinated coffees. Some were rare, single-origin beans, others were more familiar blends. For reference, there was a pot of Chock Full O Nuts. All coffees were ground fresh and brewed in press pots for four minutes using water that had just come to a boil. Over all, the tasters were disappointed with the coffees, but did find some worth trying.

Ha. I should go ask my local roast monkey what sort method his decaf is.
And for the record, while Kate claims she has fooled me with decaf, I don’t think she has, although maybe me pronouncing a cup “weak” or “terrible” and muttering something about decaf under my breath still counts as my being fooled in her book. That said, I’ve been known to order a decaf gelato affogato for dessert, but I think that’s more about the gelato than the espresso anyway.
