Saka Decaf Bar (DEK) is an authentic Neapolitan espresso blend offering the bold, full-bodied experience of traditional Italian coffee without the caffeine.The Italian Decaf that tastes exactly like a classic Neapolitan Bar espresso. This 50% Arabica and 50% Robusta blend retains a thick crema and rich notes of dark chocolate and toasted nuts. Ideal for home baristas seeking a decaf espresso that performs like a regular espresso without the buzz.

Why Saka Decaf Bar?

  • Authentic Neapolitan Profile: Unlike thin or acidic specialty decafs, Saka DEK delivers the syrupy body and low acidity characteristic of Naples’ coffee culture.
  • Indistinguishable Flavor: Expertly roasted to ensure the chocolatey, nutty flavor profile remains intact after decaffeination.
  • Superior Crema: The 50/50 Arabica-Robusta split provides the structural integrity needed for thick, persistent crema on home espresso machines.

Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes: Deep notes of dark chocolate and toasted nuts with a smooth, lingering finish.
  • Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and velvety—specifically roasted to produce a rich crema that stands up to milk.
  • Acidity: Very low, providing a mellow and balanced cup suitable for any time of day.
  • Aroma: Intense and aromatic, retaining the "freshly roasted" scent typically lost in decaffeination.
