Hemisphere Mad River Decaf Blend Coffee, 5 lb

Mad River Decaf Blend Coffee, 5 lb: profile and selection

Mad River Decaf is Hemisphere’s alternate name for this medium-roast decaffeinated blend. The bulk 5 lb package suits a routine in which decaf is brewed frequently rather than only by the occasional cup. Hemisphere specifies Mountain Water processing and describes slight acidity followed by a smooth aftertaste.

Blend origins, percentages, cultivars and green-coffee processes are not specified.

This page preserves the documented roast, origin, process and tasting language without treating a regional name, grade or flavor note as evidence for missing facts. Current selections are Ground and whole bean; confirm the exact variant before ordering.

Coffee profile

Brew for the documented roast and profile

A five-pound supply is about 2,268 g of coffee. At a 30 g dose for each small pot, it allows roughly 75 pots before waste or recipe adjustments. Work from your actual decaf routine when comparing that amount with a smaller bag, especially if regular coffee is also being brewed at home.

Use 30 g coffee with about 480 g water as an initial filter recipe. Choose a prepared grind that suits the brewer, or use whole beans for more adjustment. Taste the finish before changing dose, and keep the bulk bag closed between portions rather than leaving it open throughout the day.

For filter brewing, start with 20 grams of coffee and 320 grams of filtered water around 196–200°F. Use a medium grind for whole beans and taste after the cup cools enough to make sweetness and finish easier to judge.

If the cup is hollow or sharply sour, grind finer. If it becomes drying, move coarser. Hold dose and water steady during the first change. Decaffeination can alter density and solubility, but the actual cup should guide the recipe.

Decaf is not necessarily caffeine-free, and no tested serving-level amount is provided here. Whole-bean customers can use the Turin DF54 grinder for repeatable adjustments; ground coffee is convenient when its particle size fits the brewer.

Freshness, package size and comparison

This is a bulk listing (5 lb). Five pounds is about 2,268 grams—roughly 90 brews at a 25-gram dose or 113 brews at 20 grams before dialing waste. Estimate real daily use before choosing the larger format.

Divide the coffee into smaller airtight portions, keep one active and leave the rest sealed away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Label each portion with the date opened. A shared office or household should post the standard dose and water quantity beside the brewer.

Degassing changes bloom, drawdown and espresso flow as roasted coffee rests. Make small grind corrections instead of changing dose, temperature and ratio together. Ground coffee has more exposed surface area, so open only one portion at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Ordering and shipping

Coffee ships directly from the roaster partner. Roasted coffee does not qualify for free shipping; shipping charges are set by the partner. Coffee orders are not eligible for returns or cancellations, so confirm the bag size, grind, caffeine selection and flavor when applicable before ordering.

Review the exact variant shown in the cart before checkout. When the shipment arrives, retain the roaster label and record the selected format with the first brew. That detail makes recipe adjustments and reordering more reliable than relying on the product name alone.
