I have to avoid caffeine. Which is the best decaff coffee? I tend to like colombian or brazilian ie not bitter coffee.
I mean instant or that can be made in a cafetiere/plunger.
thanks for any suggestions and are they genuinely caffeine free?

I had the same problem and tried every decaff coffee sold. I like strong coffee and the best instant I found was Dow Egberts.

I found some proper decaff coffee in Portugal and then found that I could get it here CAFE SENZA.

Fortunately I was advised some months later that providing I did not drink more than three cups a day, I could once again enjoy a decent cup of coffee. It is like a ritual now, 3 times a day the world stops whilst I enjoy my coffee. (wish they'd said the same about a cigarette!!)

Whilst a proper filter coffee man if it has to be decaf instant then Douwe Egberts is my choice.

Douwe Egberts also makes a nice ground and roast coffee in decaff, i agree that Douwe Egberts instant is pretty good as well.,

i would hate to have to have decaff coffee.

M & S filter Fairtrade Colombian decaff.

M & S instant granules are darn good.

Since our M&S food hall closed I have only recently discovered Nescafe Gold Blend decaff seems to be the best of the instants.

yes I'm on nescafe instant but it's not great
Will try either the DE or the M&S - thanks.
As long as they are genuinely caffeine free, not low caffeine? It gives me palpitations so not worth the risk

I buy Co-op instant decaffinated. It's not completely caffeine free although I gather that's the same with all decaff coffee (and tea).

Gold Blend decaff is my favourite, it tastes just like the 'real' one. Obviously this is instant.

I used to drink Nescafé Half Caff, until ll the supermarkets stopped selling it. Now I'm left with normal coffee again, I just have to drink a lot less of it.
