From the roaster

  • One of our most popular coffees, Decaf French Roast is sourced from Central and South America arabica beans. We roast it dark, creating a bold, full-bodied coffee with a smoky finish. We use the Swiss Water Process to decaffeinate our coffees.
  • K-CUP COMPATIBLE: Our OneCup Coffee Pods are specially designed for use with most single serve coffee machines, including K-cup style single serve brewers.
  • QUALITY COFFEE: San Francisco Bay Coffee uses only 100% arabica coffee and certified Kosher coffee beans. Hand picked and grown in high altitude. We're so confident you'll love it, we back it with a satisfaction guarantee.
  • SUSTAINABLE CHOICE: Our OneCUP pods, as well as the bags they are packed in, are made from plant-based materials and are certified commercially compostable by BPI.
  • SF BAY COFFEE is a family owned, American made company with a rich tradition. Our reputation reflects on us as a family so if you're ever not happy with your purchase, call us and we'll make it right.

    Good Decaf

    This was good decaf. Not the most complex flavor but a very nice basic coffee. I love the no plastic pods.

    Good coffee. Great flavor

  • Sully Verified purchase ★★★★★

    Perfect decaf

    I drink decaf after my morning caffeinated cup. I usually do not like dark roast, but this decaf coffee is perfect when setting coffee machine to a larger ounce cup. Tastes better than some of the caffeinated coffee I've purchased.

  • R. Cote Verified purchase ★★★★☆

    Great taste, compostable (in a commercial facility) pod.

    I recently pulled my Keurig coffe maker out of the cabinet when my community started a compost service that can handle these compostable cups. And I am glad I did.
