My wife thinks this is great coffee

Is this bean too oily for a super auto? I am having
quite a time locating a roasting source that will roast a decaf to light- medium or medium with a surface oil that is light to non existing.

Best Answer: This Velton's Three Ravens roast is a bit oily. For a decaf alternative, I'd suggest looking at the whole bean Illy Decaf:

Considering mixing this with Twilight Blend to get 50%-50% caf/decaf blend. Comments? Also, will this Three Ravens Blend brew OK in my new Technivorm (KBG741)? I'm unsure about the dual drip/espresso designation. Thanks!
Best Answer: I enjoyed both coffees, but have not tried blending them. I think it is all a matter of personal preference. As to the dual designation, it means the coffee brews up satisfactorily for either a drip or espresso grind.

- Why is this called Espresso?Review by bbuckles

I would have appreciated a picture of the beans so that I can determine what kind of roast it really is. I opened the package and saw and smelled (one of the things I enjoy most about coffee) light brown beans that smelled like something green and raw- not very appealing as I was wondering why is this not more toasted and oily. This is a medium roasted coffee,not oily, rich smelling, very dark brown bean with toasty and cocoa notes which I associate with espresso (dark roast). Well, I decided to not entirely trust my nose due to such positive reviews and proceeded to brew in my Chemex. Same amount of coffee as I usually use but had to use half the amount of water because it was so weak. Flowery/ Lightly Citrusy/ Green: this was what it mostly is but it also reminded me of Foldgers but to be exact an upscaled Foldgers. I didn't grow up drinking instant coffee but espresso because that's what a lot of people drink in Argentina. I don't understand this trend for undercooked coffee beans but I will group it together with those that like cookie dough, an American enigma.

So, after watching some of the SCG videos on coffee I thought I'd give this decaf a try and see how it worked in my Talea. I was not sure what to expect having never drank a quality decaf and overall I'd say I was pleasantly surprised.Price Value Quality
There is definitely something missing compared to something like the Bonzai or Tree House, such as the bright acidity that you get with those, but it does make a very drinkable long coffee using my Talea. Bonus is that I do not have to worry think about getting a caffeine overdose with these.
So, now I am intrigued by Decaf. Are there more good ones out there, or is this a diamond in the rough? (Posted on 7/2/2012) - Decaf that blows your mind!Review by Roscoe

Wow! A short three letter word that completely describes this wonderful coffee. So good your tongue will jump outta your mouth, slap you upside the head and scream: "FOOL! Were gonna be up all night! There's no way this coffee is decaf!!!"Quality Value Price
Your sleepy head can rest at ease buttercup, because this coffee is the best decaf around, and far better then most cafinated coffee's.
Pros:
Great Taste

We blend this with the Bonsai Blend to achieve overall reduction in caffeine. Although I can detect the difference in flavor compared to 100% caffeinated, the taste is still excellent, and I get to enjoy my coffee more often this way.Quality Value Price

I got this by mistake (mine) when I failed to change the free coffee that came with the order for my new Technivorm. If it had caffeine I'd order it again! As it is I will try Velton's other, leaded, versions.Quality Value Price
