About this coffee

A half-caff for the second and third cup, when you want the coffee but not the buzz.

Medium Roast | Chocolate, Brown Sugar & Berries

A half-caff blend with the caffeine dialled to about 50 percent. Chocolate and brown sugar with a berry lift, so it drinks like a proper afternoon coffee.

Pulls and milks exactly like a full-strength medium, so nothing changes on your machine. The point is timing, not technique: a 3pm cup that will not cost you your sleep.

The roaster

Pique Coffee

Wembley

Pique is run by Jason, a sound engineer turned certified coffee taster, and his wife Claire from their Wembley roastery bar.

Part of their drinks range supports the Men's Talk mental health charity, so good coffee here does a bit of good too.

Half the caffeine, none of the sad decaf feeling. The one for the afternoon cup you won't regret at bedtime.

Espresso starting point

Dialled in on a Breville Barista Express

Dose
16.5g of fresh grounds in the basket
Yield
36-38g of espresso in the cup
Time
28 to 32 seconds, timed from the first drop
Grind
Fine, like caster sugar. Bitter and slow? Go a touch coarser. Sour and fast? A touch finer.

Tip: Start here. Not quite right? Change one thing — usually the grind — and tomorrow's cup is better. Today's is still fresh coffee.

Questions about this coffee

What's this decaf actually like?
Full-flavoured, chosen because it holds up like regular coffee. Decaffeinated before roasting, so the flavour does the talking.
Where does this sit for strength?
Every coffee we list sits somewhere on a range from gentle to punchy. Check the roast level above, or ask us and we'll place it for you.
How fresh is this coffee?
Our roasters roast fresh for us in small batches, and we usually dispatch within 1 to 2 business days. Coffee actually improves for the first week or so after roasting, then holds well sealed. The roast date is on the bag.
What if I don't like it?
Tell us what didn't work and we'll help you find something closer to your taste. Full policy in our help centre.
Will this work with my machine?
Yes. If you're pulling espresso, the Starting Point above gives you a dose, yield and shot time to begin from. Every machine and grinder is a little different, so expect to adjust from there.
