Decaf coffee beans

[ezythai]

Im buying decaf coffee from villa market for 2400 baht per kilo, illy brand. Way too much.

Was thinking of buying 200 kilo from a top roaster in melbourne. Anybody interested at 1300 baht a kilo? If there is interest will order

[MJCM]

Not interested, but just a question.

How about Import Duty and shipping costs ? Did you think about that one ?

Decaff, roasted, unground - seems to attract a rate of anywhere between 30% and 90% of CIF according to which options you select here http://igtf.customs.go.th/igtf/en/main_frame.jsp

Not sure if you'll get stung for VAT too.

Ha, cancel that idea, thought it wasnt luxury good or drug. The free trade agreement with australia must be very specific.

Why...no one in coffee countries drink it as they know the beans are soaked in formaldehyde to draw out the caffeine. In fact in Costa Rica they don't even sell decaffeinated coffee.

[blackcab]

Anything more than about half a kilo and you need the correct license to import the beans too.

I buy regular coffee beans to grind and the last time that I was in Makro Store on Ramindra road they had decaf coffee beans.Makro is a sort of U S Sams club Coscos membership club but you can still get in on a day pass.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

What's the price after shipping, import duty etc.

Were you intending on posting the coffee to anyone who responded, another outlay.

Why not decaf your own beans - beans are steamed for about 30 minutes in order to open their pores. Once the coffee beans are receptive to a solvent, they are repeatedly rinsed with either methylene chloride or ethyl acetate for about 10 hours to remove the caffeine.

I buy my decaf at the Boncafe outlet stores that sell the coffee and machines to the retailers. You can also buy online at this link. It's very inexpensive:

What a wonderful way to start your day. Followed by a non alcoholic beer just to give that early morning buzz.

I have never tasted a decaff coffee that tasted of coffee or a non alc' beer that tasted of beer. But then again I have never believed lawyers or advertisers.

Washing your feet with your socks on springs to mind.

Then again everyone has their own ideas.

My mum had a jar of decaf coffee from ALDI in Sydney,

i had a cup of coffee and milk, not that strong, kept me

awake all night, what's the point of drinking it.

I buy ground decaf at Boncafe, it's only 260 baht for 250grams. I'm not a coffee connoisseur so I can't really tell the difference between pre-ground the freshly ground. I mean, I sometimes buy decafe at Boncafe where they grind it fresh and the pre-ground coffee tastes exactly the same when I make it at home.

That's another reason why decaf coffee is simply ludicrous.

Thanks for your advice, will check out boncafe.

I was drinking to much coffeee and found it was a ritual thing. Have 1 full strengh coffee in the morning then 3 decafs during the day seems to have helped the addiction

Only 260 baht for 250 grams? That makes it 3 times as expensive as the Duangdee coffee I have delivered to my door. I doubt that the decaf tastes half as good.

The chemical leaching makes the decaf more costly to produce, but it still seems like a rip-off.

20 years ago I was told by my Doctor to either cut down on my daily 8 cups of regular coffee or switch to decaf.

I bought a packet of decaf to try. Once.

I limit my coffee to 2 cups a day. My body got used to it easier than I thought it would.

Kopi Luwak coffee beans are crapped out of palm civets and it's the worlds most expensive coffee so it seems true coffee lovers are not all that concerned about the production process.

Hi, sorry, I don't understand this. Can you explain this to me please?
I came to this thread looking for decaf coffee, but seems the decaf process is horrible. I woul like to compare that orocess with real coffee process.
I've got bad hemorroids and I think the caffine is causing me more grief.

Whatever issues you are trying to avoid with the caffeine, decaffeinated is way worse from a health perspective. Latest research also suggests coffee in moderation is OK.

[carlyai]

Thanks, yes definitely sounds like it.
