If you're anything like us, you sometimes find yourself craving a warm cup of coffee but don't want all of the caffeine that comes with it.

Half Caff Kaldi is the perfect coffee for the situation. Modeled after our house blend, it's made up of 50% Decaf Cafe Kaldi and 50% regular. The result is a perfectly balanced cup with exceptional sweetness atop a deep chocolatey base. It tastes great on its own, but also holds up well to a splash of milk or alternative milk, and makes for a very sweet, creamy cold brew.

For cold brew, we recommend making a concentrate and diluting it to taste for a quick, tasty hit of coffee right when you need it.

With just the right amount of caffeine, Half Caff Kaldi is perfect for the late afternoon, your second cup, or all day sipping. No sacrifices necessary.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

I ordered bean by mistake because it auto fills. You should have a step that forces you to double check.

Right balance between flavor and "caffine" boost.

Response from Kaldi's Coffee: Great to hear. Thank you!

Roast too light and too acidic for my taste

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Roast too light for my taste. I'm not crazy about "third wave" coffee. I was surprised to see "light citrus" on the notes on the front of the bag, since it wasn't mentioned in the description online. I know to avoid coffees with citrus notes. I would not have ordered this.

Best half- caff coffee I have ever tasted

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I need to be drinking less caffeine and was having a hard time finding a half- caff or fully decaffeinated coffee that I liked. That is until I tried Kaldi's blends. I am sold on their coffee!

Smooth and Satisfying

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My palate apparently is not sensitive enough to pick up the subtle flavors described on the bag. None the less we enjoyed the coffee. It seemed "smoother" and did not have the slightly bitter aftertaste we get with the grocery brand we usually purchase. We will purchase again and use for brewing an occasional pot as the price is about 40% higher than our store brand.

roasting date

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Ilike my coffee roasted at the time of my order, not two weeks off of s shelf. By the time I got it, almost 3 weeks old. not so fresh for a espresso lover.

Flavor upgrade from decaf is great.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I usually drink straight decaf, which I like, but wow having the extra flavor from the regular coffee makes it even better. I think its still to caffeinated for me, so I add decaf to it.

Response from Kaldi's Coffee: This is a great way to get a little flavor boost for sure. The addition of even just a little bit of the standard Cafe Kaldi certainly adds some "pep". So happy to hear you found your own balance. Thank you for the review!

FAQ


  • When you place an order from us, our highest priority is sending you the freshest coffee possible. You deserve it, and frankly so do our world class coffee producers and their coffees.

    Read our blog on the benefits of fresh roasted coffee to learn more. 

    • If you order on Monday - Thursday before 3:00pm CST, your order will ship out the next business day.
    • If you order on Monday - Thursday after 3:00pm CST, your order will ship out the day following the next business day. (ex: orders placed at 4:00pm CST on a Monday will ship on Wednesday).
    • If you order Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, at any time, your order will ship out on Monday, barring holidays. 
  • We offer three different grind sizes on the vast majority of our coffee offerings: drip, espresso, and French press.

    • Use drip grind if you plan on making your coffee using a coffee machine, in a pour over brewer, or if you want to try a newer way to make your trusty French press.
    • Use espresso grind if you have an espresso machine at home. This grind will be very fine and will over-extract (in other words, taste bitter and chalky) in other methods.
    • Use French press grind if you are making a coffee in the more traditional French Press method, or making cold brew, or do very large batches in a Chemex (greater than 60 grams of coffee). 
  • Please visit our brewing page here.  Coffee brewing is as much an art as it is a science, and it might take a few tries for you to find a sweet-spot that matches your taste preference. We recommend not getting too lost in the "right" way to brew, but instead focus on what you like and try to educate yourself on some best practices. And then just take it from there! 

    That said, we offer several how-to's for many popular brewers:

  • Our blends run from medium-light to dark. You can get a full breakdown of the blends in our Blend Buying Guide.

    Core Blends include:

    700 is our medium-roast core espresso blend that also tastes great as drip.

    Cafe Kaldi has been our house blend since 1994. It contains coffee from Ethiopia that gives it a touch of complexity.

    Dancing Goats Blend is a little more developed and gives a bit bolder of a cup.

    Highlander Grogg is a fan-favorite flavored coffee.
