What brewing methods and machines work with your Decaf?
What brewing methods and machines work with your Decaf?
Our Decaf is roasted for espresso but is versatile enough to shine through on a French Press or Stovetop too. It works on home machines — Breville, De'Longhi, Sunbeam — as well as commercial setups like La Marzocco. Our recipe guide (22g dose, 44g yield, 30–32 seconds) is written for a commercial machine; on a home machine with a smaller basket, keep the same ratio and scale the dose down.
Is your Decaf good for milk coffees like flat whites and lattes?
Is your Decaf good for milk coffees like flat whites and lattes?
Yes — it's what our Decaf was built for. Add milk and its full bodied and sweet, with flavours of toffee and brown spice and subtle citrus. It's the same Decaf we pour across the counter at our Federal and Billinudgel cafés, so if you've had a decaf flat white from Moonshine, you've had El Tucan.
What is the decaffeination process?
What is the decaffeination process?
This coffee is decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process which involves sourcing
natural mountain water from Pico De Orizaba (one of the largest mountains in mexico).
The coffee is soaked and washed in clean water numerous times and then the water is
passed through a caffeine filter before being re-introduced to the coffee. This natural
process leaves a full flavoured coffee without any chemical residue.
