Warrior Decaf is a rotating decaffeinated coffee from Latin America. With notes of chocolate, maple, and brown sugar, this is a crowd-pleasing coffee. $1 from every bag sold of this coffee supports the Warrior Coffee Project- an initiative of Lycoming College that brings students to coffee farms in the Dominican Republic to practice skills learned in the classroom. The Warrior Coffee Project buys coffee from farmers every year and supports sustainable development projects that allow producers to invest in improving their infrastructure. This allows them to improve the quality of coffee and fetch a higher price on the international market.

We recommend using a ratio of 17:1 water to coffee when brewing our coffees on any sort of drip coffee maker. When pulling shots of espresso, we recommend dosing 18g of coffee and pulling a 50g shot in 30s.
Pro tips:
- We love using a scale that measures in grams at our shop! Since all coffees have different densities, using a scoop doesn't always give us a consistent weight. So, If you are using 340g of water, you know using a 17:1 ratio that you will need 20g of coffee to get a great tasting brew!
- Grind size and freshness are also important! We recommend grinding every brew fresh with a burr grinder. If you don't have a burr grinder at home, select your coffee equipment and we'll be glad to get your coffee ground to the correct size!
