The idea for Baristador Coffee was planted when my naturopath broke the news to me that I needed to reduce my caffeine consumption back in 2005. I was shocked and was planning to ignore her advice because the thought of drinking decaf coffee for the rest of my life was nauseating.But I now believe it was the best day of my life!
On that day, back in 2005, I changed direction with the espresso blend I had been perfecting since 1998, and decided to create an aficionado’s range of full flavour coffees with various reduced levels of caffeine – from 99 per cent down to 1.
Four years later and you now have an organic coffee range to help you reduce or eradicate caffeine from your diet, WITHOUT sacrificing flavour!
My mission is to wean people away from cheap beans and instant coffees, borne of pesticides and social injustice, and move them towards a higher appreciation for boutique blends that are organically produced and traded fairly. This is why I focus on my three key products:
- The Benchmark Blend B70 (30 per cent less caffeine than standard espresso blends)
- The Benchmark Blend B30 (70 per cent less caffeine)
- The Benchmark Blend B01 (my organic, Swiss Water Method-processed, “decaf” blend, which has as close to no caffeine as I can claim)
The range retails for $14.50 per pack with three “grinds” available – espresso, plunger, and whole beans.
