Popular family-owned roastery Copper Moon Coffee has just released a new coffee product for decaf coffee drinkers. The newest introduction of the Organic Swiss Water® Decaf Single Cup Pods (for K-Cup makers) delivers a rich, full-bodied flavor through a zero-chemical decaffeination process.

Unlike other decaf coffees on the market, the Swiss Water® method does not use any chemicals to remove caffeine from coffee beans, delivering a blast of flavor without the “buzz” of caffeine in regular coffee. This process uses a gentle method to remove caffeine from Arabica coffee beans with pure water, resulting in a coffee that is 99.9% caffeine-free. Additionally, the company certifies each coffee pod is gluten-free, allergen-free, mold-free, and Kosher.

Ideal for those who enjoy decaf at any time of day, these single-serve pods offer a mindful choice for managing caffeine intake or a cozy, relaxing cup in the evening that won’t interfere with sleep. Whether seeking a more balanced coffee experience or simply enjoying the flavor without the kick, Copper Moon’s Swiss Water® decaf lets coffee lovers savor a satisfying brew, one perfect cup at a time. Boxes of the new decaf K-Cups are available in 12-cup, 36-cup, or 72-cup sizes.

In terms of taste, each Organic Swiss Water® Decaf Single Cup features flavor notes of nutty cocoa with sweet florals and a hint of spice. Up until this November, the Swiss Water® Decaf blend was available only in whole bean or ground coffee varieties. This new release makes the blend accessible for solo-coffee drinkers using K-Cup brewers.

Why does coffee make me sleepy? How caffeine can leave you feeling tired

What to do when coffee has the opposite effect

man who is tired

Coffee is the most popular stimulant in the U.S., consumed by nearly 75% of Americans. As a long-time coffee drinker, there's no doubt that it's my favorite stimulant (even if its effects are unnoticeable due to my crazy high caffeine tolerance). Even though I crave coffee's taste, with a slight bitterness and light sweetness, based on taste alone, I sometimes reach for coffee simply for a major boost of energy from its caffeine content.

At times, I feel perkier after a cup of coffee, but there are also times I'm struggling to stay awake. This phenomenon has left me questioning," Why does coffee make me sleepy?" If you've felt that random wave of tiredness hit you after consuming caffeine, you might have asked yourself this question, too. The question of how coffee and tiredness are interrelated can get confusing, especially given coffee's well-known reputation as a drink that keeps you awake. Here are a few reasons you might feel tired after drinking coffee.

Can you make great coffee in a single serve? Klatch Coffee’s answer

Is there a better option than K-Cups?

While K-Cups can be appealing to coffee drinkers who value convenience at home or in the office, they're not the right choice for everyone. Although it's a fast and easy way to prepare a single cup of coffee, there are a few downsides to the system — namely that K-cup pods can be difficult to recycle (and while refillable pods exist, that depends on the user choosing that option, which isn't always a given considering quick and convenient are two of the main appeals of the system). We interviewed Klatch Coffee's expert roaster, Heather Perry, to learn more about the specialty roaster's approach to single-serve coffee.
Klatch Coffee's single-serve coffee alternatives

Klatch Coffee's single-serving Bruvi pods make it easy to enjoy high-quality, specialty coffee wherever you are. The brand has partnered with a few select providers who share their vision, one of which is Bruvi.
"Bruvi is an improved pod coffee system with a couple of unique features," Perry said. "First is taste and quality; the proprietary brewing system brews to the same high standards as specialty coffee roasters like Klatch Coffee, including adjusting the brewing parameters to match our brewing recipe. That’s why premium coffee from roasters like Klatch is offered on the Bruvi platform. Second, Bruvi’s B-Pods are enzyme-infused and designed to be tossed in the trash, making them guilt-free. B-Pods degrade faster in the landfill without leaving microplastics behind."
It’s also worth noting that for coffee drinkers who only want a single cup at a time, single-serve brewing can be more efficient on resources like water, coffee, and energy. Pre-portioned coffee doesn’t spill, and machines only heat the water needed for a single cup. There’s no waste from discarding leftover coffee from a large pot.
