A decaffeinated coffee that still tastes of coffee. IDEE Kaffee Elegant is a blend of Arabica and Robusta: the Arabica brings a subtle sweetness, the Robusta the body. A steam treatment before roasting takes the bitterness out, and the roast that follows is kept mild so the aroma survives it. Whole beans in a 1 kg bag, suitable for any way you brew.

IDEE Kaffee Elegant: decaf with something left in it

Take the caffeine out of coffee and something usually goes with it. IDEE Kaffee Elegant is built to keep as much as possible: a blend of carefully chosen Arabica and Robusta beans, where the Arabica supplies a subtle sweetness and the Robusta a pleasant body, so there is still weight in the cup once the caffeine is gone.

Steam first, then a mild roast

The beans are treated with steam before they are roasted, and the bitterness goes out at that stage rather than being masked later. The roast that follows is a classic, mild one instead of a dark one, because a dark roast would bury the aromas this blend is built around. It sits at 3 out of 13 on our strength scale: gentle and rounded rather than punchy, and drinkable late in the evening for the obvious reason.

Whole beans, 1 kg

The bag holds 1 kg of whole beans rather than ground coffee, so the grind is yours to set and the blend suits any type of preparation — filter, cafetière, espresso or a bean-to-cup machine.

FAQ

Customer Questions

Are the IDEE Kaffee Elegant Decaffeinated beans suitable for a bean-to-cup machine?

Yes. These decaffeinated beans are suitable for bean-to-cup machines and semi-automatic machines, and you can also grind them yourself for filter coffee or espresso.

The beans are medium roasted and therefore less oily than a dark roast, which works nicely in the grinder of a bean-to-cup machine.

Fill the bean hopper with what you use up in about a week and keep the rest of the 1 kg bag tightly closed.

Is IDEE Kaffee Elegant Decaffeinated completely caffeine free?

This coffee has been decaffeinated, but no decaf is ever completely free of caffeine. In the EU, roasted decaffeinated coffee has a legal maximum of 0.1 percent caffeine, so a small residual amount always remains.

That is a fraction of what is in regular coffee. If you are very sensitive to caffeine, bear that small remainder in mind.

Why is the crema from the IDEE Kaffee decaf beans thinner than with regular coffee?

During decaffeination the bean loses part of its oils and soluble substances. Those are exactly what create a firm, lasting crema, so a thin crema that disappears quickly is normal with decaf and is not down to your settings.

If you do want a bit more crema, try a slightly higher dose, grind slightly coarser so that you get a double shot in around 25 to 30 seconds, and use a higher brewing temperature.

Coffee that has been open for a long time gives less crema anyway, so use the beans as fresh as possible.

Which grind size do I choose for the IDEE Kaffee Elegant Decaffeinated coffee beans?

These are whole beans, so you decide the grind size yourself. For espresso you grind fine, for a pour-over filter such as a Moccamaster, Melitta or V60 you use filter grind, and for the ground coffee chute of a Jura, percolator grind.

Filter grind and percolator grind cannot be used interchangeably: filter grind is too fine for a percolator and percolator grind is too coarse for a filter machine, which gives a weak cup.

In a bean-to-cup machine you do not need to set anything; it grinds the beans itself.

How do I store the 1 kg bag of IDEE Kaffee decaf coffee beans?

Store the bag cool, dark and tightly closed, for example in a kitchen cupboard. Do not put the beans in the fridge, because they absorb moisture and odours there.

Unopened, coffee stays good for about a year; the exact date is on the packaging. Coffee tastes best within about three months, so pour part of it into an airtight tin and leave the rest of the kilo bag closed.
