Hey all, I was hoping someone could recommend one or two decent decaf blends.  I'm a home espresso newbie, and the only online espresso I've tried so far has been code brown from coffee emergency -- really good stuff, but they don't seem to carry decaf, and I'd love to find something "everyday-ish" with a similar flavor that I can drink in the afternoon/evening.  

Oh, and preferably from someplace that won't mind grinding for me, since it'll be a couple of months yet before I have my own grinder?

Barefoot has several excellent decaf espresso blends (http://www.barefootcoffeeroasters.com/). I also like Moonbean's decaf espresso blend (http://www.moonbeans.com/index.php).

Actually, so no one gets the wrong idea, we do indeed have a couple decafs, and a decaf espresso blend on the way.

Really?  My mistake, then -- I couldn't find it on your site.  I'll have to look again. :)

Check out the news section.  

ChicagoSandy should really chime in on this thread - she's one of the bigger decaf drinkers.

I just tried a shot of the zoka paladino decaf over at cafe organica, it was awesome, easily the best decaf I've had so far.

Thanks!  I'm in the process of getting a good grinder, after which I'll be ordering some of these to try. :)
