Rogers Roasters – Galilee Decaf Coffee

Rogers Roasters was kind enough to send us some of their Galilee Decaf Coffee to review.

Not being much of a decaf drinker, I decided to get my parents involved with this review.  They are both coffee lovers and tend to drink Decaf coffee.  So  I loaded up the family in the car and headed up to my parents house.  Coffee has always been a huge part of that fabric of my family.  My parents both always like their cup of Coffee and my Dad seems to have a cup in his hand at all times of the day, so they are always interested in trying new coffee.

As we, opened up the Galilee Decaf ,the smell of the coffee beans quickly filled up the room, even before grinding.  Although the Roast is listed as a Regular Roast , they were pretty dark.  All of the beans all looked to be pretty close in color and size and there did not appear to be any burnt beans.

As we ground the beads , the house was filled with a wonderful coffee aroma.  Maybe it’s just me, but usually the Decaf beans seem to have a much more subtle smell. Fortunately, with Galilee Decaf, this was not the case.

We used a Hamilton Beach Two way drip Coffee Brewer to make the coffee.  With a two way brewer you can make a 12 cup pot of coffee and a single serving cup.  Since some of our guests at the tasting preferred their coffee stronger than others, we used this method to please everyone.

The Results of Our Tasting Were:

Color: Beans were a dark roast, evenly done with oils apparent .

Aroma: 5/5   Strong house filling aroma when brewing.

Bitterness (1=very bitter 5=Sour): 3.2/ 5    If you like strong Coffee this one is for you If you want less strong decrease the amount of coffee you put in to brew

Taste:    4.4/5    Some heavy flavors ,smokey with heavy Earth tones.

Drinkability: 4.6/5  Very strong on the finish.

 

In total this is good strong coffee and ALL of these coffees are certified Kosher and available from Rogers Family Coffee Company separately or as a basket set. If you like Decaf and want a strong “wake up” cup, this is for you!
