Roasting is the most delicate stage in coffee production. To obtain a perfect balance between aroma and intensity of taste, the beans must reach a perfect level of shearing taking into account that they are all different from each other in shape and size. This is possible thanks to slow roasting, a traditional method, different from industrial processes which allows for uniform cooking.

Let's be honest. We all love an espresso martini don't we? But sometimes, you don't feel like drinking coffee too late, even at the weekend. That's where a beautifully crafted decaf espresso martini comes in...
Sad times. Until it struck me. Why not just create the same incredible cocktail I loved, but using decaf coffee to get the same gorgeous flavours?
Well Duh. I then went back to the drawing board and re-created the famous coffee cocktail using my favourite espresso martini recipe. (but without the caffeine). Also, as a sidenote.
By the way, before I share our fantastic recipe, I wanted to share some insight with you on some important research around the impact of caffeine on your sleep quality. This is even more important when you consider you'll typically be drinking a coffee cocktail late into the evening.
After reading a book called ('Why We Sleep') by sleep expert Matthew Walker, I realised there wasn't much information available on the negative impact of drinking the espresso martini.
So in this blog, I'm also sharing some new insights so you can make an informed decision on whether you'd prefer to drink with caffeine or without.
There are loads of surprising facts about caffeine and the affects on your sleep quality
Caffeine has a half-life of about five to six hours for the average adult. What that means is that about 50% of that caffeine is still circulating in your system five to six hours after you had that cup of coffee.
What that also means, however, is that caffeine has a quarter-life of somewhere between 10 to 12 hours. This means, the caffeine is still present in your body at midnight, even if you have your last coffee at 2pm.
The second hidden feature of caffeine is its disruption in terms of our sleep quality. You often hear, "I'm one of those individuals who can drink coffee after a meal and still fall asleep just fine.
As a consequence, you'll wake up the next morning and won't be as restored by your sleep, whether you feel like it or not. Based on this research, it also highlights that alcohol has a negative impact as well as coffee, so even if you can reduce one of the negative impact of the ingredients when it comes to late-night drinking, you are in a better position.
Being more conscious about your health is really important to your longevity, so I wanted to take this moment to highlight this today in case it can help you make a more mindful choice around your coffee cocktail choice late into the evening.
The main point is to illustrate that you can still get the same tasty beverage you desire using decaf. Finding a tasty Decaf coffee is all about the freshness and quality of the beans.

This phrase was calculated to get my attention, and it did. As much as I love my espresso, I grudgingly conceded that continuing to walk upright and chew my own food was perhaps more important than the regular experience of thick, chocolaty, crema-laden ristrettos that used to coat my tongue with luscious coffee and caramel flavors that lingered on the palate for an hour or more. So I did it. I quit the real stuff cold turkey and reluctantly initiated a caffeine-free existence. About ten days later, the arrhythmia pretty much stopped.
In the initial stage of the water-decaffeination process, green beans are soaked in water to create an extract that includes both the coffee compounds and the caffeine. The extract is then filtered through carbon to remove the caffeine so that it can be used to extract caffeine from subsequent batches of beans while leaving most of the other flavor compounds intact. The extract is then used repeatedly to decaffeinate new batches of coffee, and it is filtered through carbon as necessary to remove the caffeine.
In the early days of this process, the beans to be decaffeinated experienced longer contact time with the heated green coffee extract, practically soaking in it. But today, in the Swiss Water process at least, the beans are placed in vertical cylinders, and the extract, which is heated to around 175 degrees Fahrenheit, is trickled down through a tower of beans to minimize bean-to-liquid contact time while still efficiently extracting caffeine.
Finally, we have the super-critical gas method, in which the beans to be decaffeinated are hydrated and then immersed in heated CO2 at intense pressure (220 to 300 bars). At these temperatures, the gaseous CO2 is compressed to a liquid, causing caffeine to diffuse out of the bean and dissolve into the liquid CO2.
One thing everyone seems to agree on is that decaffeinated green has a significantly shorter shelf life than regular green. That, in combination with the large minimums, leaves a small roaster who has an interest in developing an exemplary decaf program with only one choice: buying beans that have already been decaffeinated by dealers.

Mild and spicy with a lot of orange notes, light body. The quality of the beans is right there on the palate, and I like it as a straight shot and in milk-based drinks.
A blend of two chemical-free decaf coffees from South America that are both decaffeinated using the water process of caffeine extraction, our Decaf Espresso has the balance and versatility to stand alone or be paired with milk.
For our Decaf Espresso blend we source coffees with the intention of creating a rich and balanced espresso that has the versatility to stand alone, or be paired with milk. We feel we have achieved this with two coffees from South America that are both decaffeinated without chemicals, using the water process of caffeine extraction.
While there are many variables that contribute to dialing in espresso, the parameters that have been yielding the best results in our lab is a 1:2.2 coffee to water ratio in 24-26 seconds.

A common misconception is that espresso is made using a specific type of bean. That is false. Espresso coffee is a brewing method, not a type of bean. Decaf Espresso describes any espresso shot made using decaf coffee beans, generally roasted to a medium or dark, it really boils down to personal preference.
