I am a coffee snob, so I am very picky about my coffee. This coffee is so amazing. The beans are beautiful! They are dark and shiny. The smell is wonderful too. This coffee is a must for all of you coffee lovers out there!

To allay any questions about whether this is decaf or not. It is indeed CAFFEINATED. The bag does have the “swiss water process decaf” words on the side but the bigger issue for me was that the bag I received was the ubiquitous decaf dark green color…not black/brown as shown on Amazon.com. Combined with the wording on the side…I too was curious. Here are excerpts from my email exchange with Cafe Altura’s customer service…

Mark,
Be glad to know that it is not, I repeat not decaf. To begin with, we do not have Columbian Decaf. So be assured. What is written on the side of the bags are just the different roasts we carry, and our decaf processing method, that’s it. Maybe you can post a comment on the Amazon site, to let people know this……
Cindy
…and the followup email to my suggestion to either remove the writing or change the color of the bag…

The Cafe Altura Columbian dark whole bean coffee is absolutely delicious. It’s the best whole bean coffee I have tasted. It has great aroma & a full body taste.

Superb flavor. Organic product from small growers. Dark, oily beans. Lovers of dark roast coffee will appreciate this coffee.

There’s really nothing more to say that the others haven’t already said. The beans are dark, oily, fragrant. I fell in love with these the second I unsealed the bag. Yes, fell in love. I use a plain ol’ Krups blade grinder and brew in a Melitta cone with near boiling water. The resulting brew is smooth, rich, full (all those buzz words you see on coffee bags, but actually true in this case).
Further, these beans do something none other have; keep. I’ve had these same beans for months in an air-tight and light-proof container, the way I keep all my beans. But unlike most beans which eventually dry out and lose flavor, these are still pretty oily and retain nearly all of the flavor it had to begin with.
As for these being decaf, I don’t doubt L.Gregory had decaf beans, but I get a pretty nice buzz when I drink a cup. There have been days when I’ve lost sleep because I couldn’t resist that end-of-the-day mud. I can’t verify whether what (s)he says is true because I’ve long since discarded the bag. Maybe there’s a pyschological component. I feel invigorated because it’s so full-flavored. Kind of like I feel after a shot of espresso even though per ounce, espresso contains less caffeine than regular coffee. In any case, I love this stuff and recommend it to anyone who’s serious about coffee.
I’m completely sold on these beans. From now on, for my money, there’s nothing like Cafe Altura. I can’t wait to try the other flavors. At under $10/lb, how can you afford not to try it at least once?
