At first glance, the uniformity of the Kunz spoons suggested a straightforward approach, ideal for evenly distributing mere spoonfuls of something familiar. Yet, paired with the creamy heat of the chipotle sauce or the generous, pourable volume from the ceramic jug, a subtle shift occurred.

Eight O'Clock Decaf Roast Compared... Surprising Balance, Tested!

Eight O'Clock Decaf Roast Compared... Surprising Balance, Tested! We recently tested Eight O'Clock Coffee’s Original Decaf Whole Bean, Medium Roast, and were impressed by its distinct profile. The 21-ounce pack delivers a sweet, fruity cup with a well-balanced finish that defies expectations. Unlike some decaf varieties we’ve tried, this medium roast maintains clarity without bitterness, thanks to a smooth extraction process. Our tasting notes highlighted notes of caramel, cherry, and a hint of nuts, making it versatile for both hot and iced preparations. Given its affordability and consistency, it’s a standout choice for daily ritualists. The medium roast strikes a perfect harmony between acidity and fullness, proving decaf doesn’t have to compromise flavor. We’re curious to see how it stacks up against other competitors, but for now, it’s a satisfying alternative for those seeking quality decaf without compromise.
