Instant Coffee Stick – Barista Grade Decaf, Smooth Medium Roast, Full Flavour Premium Freeze Dried - 100% Brazilian Arabica - Mycotoxin-Free & Antioxidant Rich Coffee - 200 Pieces

This is by far best instant decaf coffee I have ever had, and I am fussy. Smooth, with great flavour and strength

After well known branded decaf coffees like nescafe gold gave me heart palpitations and discovering it's due to the chemicals they use to remove the caffeine, I was actually shocked. So rooted around for some alternatives and found this one. It's a nice coffee, not my absolute favourite taste but perfectly good and most importantly doesn't give me heart palpitations. This is due to the use a natural algae to remove the caffeine, not horrendous chemicals. Weirdly it's cheaper buying it on here than it is buying it directly from them. So overall a good coffee and have already purchased more.

So glad I took a risk on this, robust and tasty.

Ready odd, weak taste.

This is a lovely tasting, smooth instant decaf. It doesn't leave that weird foamy residue in the cup like certain other brands decaf does. Always pick some up when it's on offer for around £3.50 , at full price it's slightly expensive for a 100g tin imo.

Feedback for TrueStart:- you need to put a piece of tape across the bottom as when it was delivered the base was open & the sachets coming out.

This has to be one of the most disgusting coffees I've ever tasted. Drawn in by it's Barista Grade logo I've been duped and any coffee shops selling this muck would be very quickly out of business. I knew as soon as I removed the lid by the lack of coffee aroma , that I was going to be disappointed but went on to make myself a mug of the stuff. I attempted 3 mouthfuls then poured the remainder down the sink. It's basically extremely cheap tasting coffee that you'd find in a basics supermarket range, packaged and advertised to be something more. Also, it's not a powder as advertised, it's granules.

I choose TrueStart Decaf for when I wanted the flavour of coffee without the caffeine buzz or faff of a full brew. It’s a solid instant decaf - easy to prepare, and does the job of giving me that familiar coffee taste when I want something low-effort and calm. Taste-wise it’s fine, but not something I’d call memorable. It's not super stong, nor does it doesn’t have any harsh or off notes, which is good, but it also doesn’t stand out from other instant options. If you’re after something that tastes premium or complex, it won’t surprise you. For my use case - something simple to sip in the evening or after I've already had my caffeine for the day, it does the job. Overall, it’s reliable, convenient, decently sized, and doesn't break the bank - though taste wise, I probably couldn't tell it apart from your average supermarket decaf.
