Topic: Decaf Dilemma (35 lines)
1) From: Paul Jolly
Hello, Bob!
My NEW Poppery is working great, and that's a
huge thanks to you for shipping it to me.  Next
thing I know, here you are inquiring about
decafs...which I drink 70% of the time.  I'll
echo what the other writer said about the Sumatra
"natural" Decaf;  it's very fine, very full body,
and excellent at a variety of roasts.  I also
think the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe MC decaf is out
of this world...but don't roast it far into
second crack or you'll wind up with an odd brew. 
I would guess that the Kenyan MC decaf is good,
too, and I've read three reports that the
Columbian CO2 decaf is worthwhile.  I've also
tried the Esmerelda and was unimpressed, while
the Costa Rican Natural decaf made a nice, subtle
cup (but don't roast it to second crack even!). 
The Komodo blend is fine, but compare it to the
Sumatran and you'll see how devastating the Swiss
Water Process is to the bean.  That sums up my
experience so far.
Cheers,
Paul
