Midnight Mirage Signature Blend

Midnight Mirage dekaf

Because of medical issues, I have had to switch to decaffeinated coffee. I have always LOVED coffee, so this has been really hard. Your coffee is as close as having my favorite cup of coffee first thing in the morning.

Decafed and actually lovin it

This decaf is smooth and rich..unlike most of the watery, tasteless stuff from the grocery aisle. I've had to switch to decaf for health reasons...I've found my match here at deKaf. It's delicious and I look forward to trying their other roasts

Robust, Full-bodied Blend wth a Consistent Profile

I'll preface by saying that while I try a lot of different coffees, my preference is for single-origin coffees. However, the very positive reviews for the Midnight Mirage Signature Blend convinced me to give it a try. I'm glad I did. Because it is one of the better blends I have come across. So, why 4 stars and not five? Well, to start with, I would have given it 4.3 or a 4.5 if that had been an option on the interface. In the end, I decided my consideration of the blend was closer to a 4 than a 5. Because, like all well-done blends, it trades the potential for a uniquely exceptional cup of coffee for one that produces a consistently good cup of coffee across a variety of brewing methods and conditions. In short, it will produce a good cup without a lot of fuss. Myself, I almost always use the pour-over method, and that was case with the Midnight Mirage Signature Blend. For those who may also use the pour-over method, here are a few quick-hit considerations I arrived at. First, and this is a general approach I take with all decaf coffees, I used about 0.2-0.4 grams more coffee than I would with reguar coffee, depending on the size of the cup. To my pallet, this adds back a bit more body and robustness that may have been lost in the decaffeinating process. Beyond that, I found the flow rate to be best with a coarser grind than I typically use. With the coarser grind, I also upped the water tempature just a little to help ensure a full extraction. The blend seems tolerant of a wide tempature range, so don't hesitate to experiment with it. Finally, the Midnight Mirage Signature Blend really accepts milk well. Making it easy to 'dial-in' the boldness/smoothness ratio to your taste. Enjoy.
