Note: The Decaf Sumatra will return in the fall with the new harvests. In the time being we have two other decaf options, one from Ethiopia (medium roast) and the other a light roast from Mexico called the La Esmeralda.
Nate’s Decaf Sumatra is a smooth, medium dark roast that makes a great pour over. It can, also, be combined with any regular roast to create a personalized Half-Caf, including the Sumatra Mandheling for a matching darkness. Try it with our Yo! Wake Up to give the roast a bit of baker’s chocolate flavor.
From the Supplier: “We source our Royal Select Water Decaf coffee from lots that the Royal team has selected based on cupping evaluations. After selection, we pre-soak the green coffee in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. after, we introduce the beans to a solution concentrated with coffee solubles that extract the caffeine without extracting the coffee’s particular flavor.”
Here is a great article about the decaffeination process from the Happy Barista: How Do You Decaffeinate Coffee?

What Grind Should I Use?
You can have your Nate’s Coffee order ground to your preferred brewing method before shipping!
- Whole Bean: Whole bean coffee. Ideal if you prefer the freshest coffee experience and use a grinder at home. We recommend using a burr grinder.
- Coarse: A coarse, sea salt like grind. Great for french presses and percolators.
- Drip: A medium grind, consistency of sand. This is the most standard grind. Ideal for most drip coffee makers (like Mr. Coffee) and Clever brewers.
- Pour over: A medium-fine grind, in between drip and espresso grind. Great for pour overs and Chemex.
- Espresso: Little less fine than table salt, great for espresso.
What if I use an Aeropress? Use this as your guide:
- Drip: 3 minute brew time
- Pour over: 2-3 minute brew time
- Espresso: (our preferred method) 1-2 minute brew time
