Really good chocolatey decaf?

Discuss flavors, brew temperatures, blending, and cupping notes.

I am looking for a good low end (choc/caramel/nuts) decaf espresso blend. I need to cut back a bit on the daily caffeine intake and I only give decaf to my hyper son. I don't want to pay $18+ for a 12oz bag, would really love to find something good that is not so costly.

Suggestions?

Love that decaf. I get more chocolate than the notes.

Maybe, but he's a long-time, dedicated H-B member, a coffee hobbyist who's turned pro. A roast of his should be a treat.

I just tried Caffe Lusso's Decaf and it's really nice as espresso.

Buy yourself a Behmor roaster and try some of Sweet Maria's decaf blends. This last season's Donkey and Workshop blends and the SO Techo Ketcho (sp) have been chocolatey as anyone could ask for.

I do plan to eventually do my own roasting and I have come very close to buying several of the used roasters that have been posted here and on CG. I have been researching but I haven't decided on a roaster yet. I also enjoy trying lots of different coffee and I still have a lot on my list, so I am not in a huge hurry to start roasting.

Just pulled some delicious Verve Vancouver Decaf shots which were sweet and chocolate filled, made for an amazing Macchiato. 22 grams in 28 grams out 203* on the Linea Mini.
