What is Half Caff Coffee?

Half-caff coffee is a blend made with 50% regular coffee beans and 50% decaffeinated beans, resulting in about half the caffeine content of a standard cup of coffee. It differs from decaffeinated coffee, which contains only decaf beans. The names "half-caff" and "half decaf" refer to the same blend. The term "half-caff" highlights that the blend contains equal parts caffeinated and decaffeinated beans, resulting in a 1:1 caffeine ratio.

The Swiss Water method creates the best half-caff coffee by removing 99.9% of caffeine without chemicals. It soaks beans in hot water to extract caffeine while preserving flavor. Decaffeinated green coffee extract filters additional batches, ensuring consistency. The process preserves original flavors better than solvent-based methods.

What does Half Caff Coffee Taste Like?

Half-caff coffee offers a balanced flavor profile, capturing some of the boldness of regular coffee while potentially having a smoother finish. It retains much of the richness of full-caffeine coffee but with reduced intensity. The specific taste can vary significantly based on factors like bean types, origin, roast levels, and processing methods, all of which influence acidity, sweetness, and aroma.  

Half-caff appeals to those seeking moderate caffeine intake without sacrificing flavor. It delivers a taste similar to regular coffee, potentially with a milder profile. Caffeine plays a role in the overall perception of flavor, contributing to bitterness and the feeling of fullness in the mouth. This makes half-caff often taste more robust than decaf, though not necessarily smoother than regular coffee. The caffeine content can enhance the intensity of the flavors, but the true complexity comes from the inherent qualities of the beans and how they are roasted and brewed.

Colipse's Half Caffeine Blend offers a captivating coffee experience. The aroma immediately entices with rich cocoa and spicy herbs, leading to a flavor profile that harmoniously blends bright citrus with toasted almonds and subtle florals. The aftertaste lingers gently, leaving a smoky essence of dark cocoa. With its low to medium acidity, balanced by a round sweetness reminiscent of toasted almonds, this coffee provides a smooth and velvety mouthfeel that satisfies the palate.
