Excellent coffee!

Since I had to cut back from regular coffee, I found that Waka’s decaffeinated coffee is the best on the market. Hard to tell the difference between the two, the taste is so flavorful.

Medium roast decaf is very good. I do add a little sugar and coffee flavoring.

Delicious

This has none of the bitterness or off-taste that I used to associate with instant coffee. It tastes like coffee!

The answer to my prayers!

I love coffee, but caffeine does not love me, so I drink exclusively decaf. Do you know how hard it is for an office worker to not drink regular coffee? I rely on instant because I have no way of brewing just one cup. (I also refuse to use wasteful Keurig cups.) I’m so happy I found a high-quality great tasting instant decaf that isn’t one of those supermarket ones that were passable for a while, but are really not that great… I love this!!
