Cafe Du Monde Coffee & Chicory Decaffeinated Ground Coffee, 13 oz — New Orleans-style, Smooth Chocolaty Flavor

Cafe Du Monde Coffee and Chicory Decaffeinated is the signature New Orleans-style coffee blend with chicory, decaffeinated using a natural ethyl acetate process for a smooth, chocolaty cup any time of day.

Enjoy the iconic flavor of Cafe Du Monde at home: a roasted coffee and chicory blend created for cafe au lait and pastries, now available in a 13-ounce can in a decaffeinated version. This decaf variant preserves the bold, slightly sweet and chocolaty profile associated with the Original French Market Coffee Stand while removing most caffeine via an ethyl acetate process derived from natural fruit sources. The can is shelf-ready for home brewing, espresso-based drinks, or serving alongside hot beignets and baked goods.

How does the decaffeination method affect flavor?

Cafe Du Monde uses an ethyl acetate process to remove caffeine while keeping the blend’s roasted and chicory notes intact. Because ethyl acetate can be sourced from fruit, it’s considered a natural solvent that tends to retain aromatic compounds compared with some other methods. The result is a decaffeinated cup that still offers the characteristic chocolaty, slightly nutty finish of the original blend.

• Ethyl acetate decaffeination preserves essential flavor oils and aroma compounds.
• Chicory remains present for the traditional body and mild earthiness.
• Roasted notes and subtle chocolate undertones remain perceptible after decaf processing.

What brewing methods work best with this 13 oz can?

This ground blend performs well across common brewing styles—drip coffee makers, French press, and pour-over will highlight the roast and chicory balance. For stronger, cafe-style drinks like cafe au lait, brew a concentrated pot and mix with steamed milk. If you prefer espresso machines, use a finer grind setting and pack firmly to achieve a richer extraction.

• Drip and pour-over: even extraction reveals chocolate and chicory notes.
• French press: fuller body and mouthfeel, showcasing the blend’s texture.
• Espresso-style: use a finer grind and higher pressure for crema and intensity.

What can I serve with Cafe Du Monde decaffeinated coffee?

This decaf blend pairs naturally with sweet and buttery pastries; it’s the classic companion to beignets, scones, and breakfast breads. Because of the blend’s slightly sweet, chocolaty tone, it also complements nutty or caramel-flavored desserts. For a traditional New Orleans experience, serve as a cafe au lait with steamed milk.

• Beignets and powdered sugar pastries for a regional pairing.
• Almond, caramel, or chocolate-based desserts that echo the blend’s notes.
• Steamed milk for a silky cafe au lait that softens the chicory edge.

How should I store the 13-ounce can to keep it fresh?

To retain aroma and flavor, keep the can sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Once opened, transfer grounds to an airtight container or reseal the original can tightly to reduce exposure to air and moisture. Use within a few weeks for best flavor, or freeze in a moisture-proof bag for longer storage, thawing only the portion you’ll use.

• Store sealed in a pantry or cupboard, away from heat sources.
• Use airtight containers to minimize oxidation after opening.
• Freeze unopened or portioned grounds in moisture-proof packaging for extended freshness.

Who is this for? Cafe Du Monde Coffee and Chicory Decaffeinated 13 oz is ideal for coffee lovers who enjoy the bold New Orleans chicory tradition but need or prefer a low-caffeine option. It suits home baristas, families serving breakfast and pastries, and anyone wanting the recognizable cafe au lait experience without daytime caffeine.
