Maybe see if one of those roasters mentions the Swiss water process. IME it makes for quite good decaf (and I too have a hipster’s taste in coffee).

In the UK I use Redber for beans, I drink decaf (Swiss Water prices) fresh ground in the afternoon and have 2-3 caf cups in the morning. Redber had a wide selection and several roast levels. No caffeine after noon. I use a 2-cup espresso Bialetti stove top, the second smallest.

> Swiss water process

Wow, I had never heard of this before. The chemical process for decaf had always put me off before.

From their website: [0]

> When you see the Swiss Water® name, it means your favorite roaster offers 100% chemical-free decaffeinated coffee.

You may have just convinced me to switch to decaf...

It still tastes like garbage.

It doesn’t. Some of the Swiss waters are very good. My baseline for coffee is quality single origin Geisha, and good Swiss water is better than most espresso places.
