Colombia Tumbaga decaf for espresso
Price range: 13,00 € through 50,00 €
Decaf coffee Colombia Tumbaga decaf is crafted specifically for espresso brewing, allowing its full body and intense sweetness to shine through.
Finding a high-quality decaf is not easy, but this one will satisfy even the most demanding lover of genuine espresso. High-grade beans were used along with a modern, gentle, and completely natural decaffeination process. This method utilizes naturally derived ethyl acetate from sugarcane. Thanks to this process, the full flavor potential is preserved, yielding an exceptionally syrupy espresso in the cup with a delightfully sweet and balanced profile complemented by notes of apple, cinnamon, and caramel.
This exceptional decaf is named Tumbaga – after the historic alloy of gold, copper, and silver used in Colombia to craft delicate objects. This alloy symbolically unifies the contrasting energies of the sun and moon into perfect balance, just like this complex espresso. Tumbaga Sugarcane decaf elevates decaffeinated coffee to a higher standard, utilizing fresh beans from an integrated supply chain rather than relying on conventional methods. Teams in Colombia carefully select the beans with an emphasis on a full body, high sweetness, and low acidity – ideal attributes for a flawless espresso extraction. We are delighted to offer it to you in a medium roast profile that highlights its naturally sweet character.

Colombia Tumbaga decaf for espresso
Lever espresso machine
Brew ratio (dose, yield, time): The most commonly used ratio for espresso is 1:2 to 1:2,5 (coffee:water), with a time of approximately 20-25s
- Step 1: Weigh out the freshly ground coffee (e.g., 14g)
- Step 2: Pour the coffee into a clean, dry portafilter, distribute evenly, and tamp
- Step 3: Always flush hot water through the group head before and after extraction, insert the portafilter, and start extraction
- Step 3: "Run" the resulting cup extraction on a scale; if using 14g of coffee and a 1:2,5 brew ratio, the yield should be 35g in 20-25 seconds.
A quick tip in conclusion: If the espresso extracts too quickly, choose a finer grind. If the espresso extracts too slowly, choose a coarser grind instead. There is no one-size-fits-all recipe for espresso; every coffee requires a different approach. When dialing in the right recipe for your coffee, avoid changing all parameters at once (time, dose, yield). Always adjust only one variable at a time and observe the flavor changes.
Automatic coffee machine
Every automatic coffee machine has its own preset settings that you do not need to worry about. Usually, pressing a button is all it takes.
We recommend using filtered water, which will enhance the coffee's flavor by 100%
Moka pot / Bialetti
Preheat the water you will use in a kettle to avoid an unnecessarily long boiling process when brewing coffee
Use a slightly coarser grind than for espresso
- Step 1: Pour heated water into the bottom chamber of the moka pot just below the valve
- Step 2: Fill the filter basket completely with freshly ground coffee, do not tamp
- Step 3: Assemble all parts of the moka pot and place it over the heat
- Step 4: When you hear a gentle "gurgling" sound, the coffee is ready.
- Step 5: Cool the bottom chamber of the moka pot to stop the extraction process
A quick tip to conclude: Keeping your moka pot clean is essential; be sure to rinse it thoroughly after each brew. If residue builds up in the moka pot, it can impart an undesirable bitter taste to your coffee. If your coffee spluttered out too quickly, you likely brewed it over too high a heat. Lower the heat for a smooth extraction and a well-rounded, complex flavor. Enjoy:)



Naozaj vyborna kava. Dakujem najviac za tuto moznost – vychutnat si dokonalu kavu aj vecer v tejto bezkofeinovej verzii!
Excellent coffee, indistinguishable from caffeinated.
The excellent taste and aroma of coffee are preserved even in this decaffeinated version.
Indistinguishable from caffeinated coffee – very delicious. Specially prepared for use in fully automatic coffee machines.
