Juhiii, ich habe ihn endlich gefunden: den besten koffeinfreien Kaffee, denn ich je getrunken habe. Ich bekam den Tipp von einem Kollegen. Bestellt über den Online-Shop, Lieferung erfolgte sehr schnell, super Service, Kompliment und vielen Dank hierfür. Beste Grüsse aus dem Thurgau

Einfach empfehlenswert! Ich liebe Euren Kaffee! Und ich kann mich meinen Vorredner anschliessen. Seit einem guten Jahr bestelle ich hier regelmässig. Zudem gibt es hier den besten entkoffeinierter Kaffee für meinen Siebträger, den ich je hatte. Niemand glaubts, bis er/sie probiert hat. "Ohhh und der ist wirklich ohne Koffein?"
