Half Caff Fresh Ground (5lbs)

A 5 lb bag holds 80 oz of coffee, more than six and a half times a 12 oz bag. It suits households that brew every day, offices and anyone who shares their coffee. It comes in French Roast, Decaf, Rise & Shine and Half Caff, whole bean or fresh ground. Browse the 5 lb bags.

Half Caff is a ready-to-brew blend of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, with less caffeine than our regular roasts. You do not mix anything at home; brew it the same way you brew any of our coffees. It comes in whole bean, fresh ground, 5 lb bags, single-serve cups and steep bags. See the Half Caff collection.

Not quite. The Half Caff bags and single-serve cups are a medium roast, smooth and earthy, with notes of dark chocolate, plum and manzanita honey and a full body. The Half Caff steep bags have their own profile, softly sweet with caramel notes, so check that page if you prefer the tea bag style format.

Half Caff blends caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, so it has noticeably less caffeine than our regular roasts but is not caffeine free. Our steep bag guide puts a Half Caff steep bag at about 50 mg, roughly half a normal cup. With bags, the amount depends on how much coffee you brew, so we don't publish a per-scoop figure.

Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from heat, sunlight and moisture. Our whole bean and ground coffee is sealed in airtight packaging to protect freshness, and each steep bag comes in its own foil packet, so open them one at a time. After opening, keep the package tightly closed between uses and follow the best-by date.

The beans and the roast. We start with organic Arabica, roast it with hot air convection and hold the final stage longer at a lower temperature. That slower finish reduces chlorogenic acids (CGAs), naturally occurring acids in coffee, without over-darkening the beans. An independent lab then measured pH and CGAs in our four core roasts.
