Sometimes I hear people actually ask for it, and they are invariably told "we don't have any brewed, but we can brew some if you're willing to wait".
If most stores don't brew it where does your decaf weapon come from? I doubt you'd brew it just to decaf some **** lol
if you actually read the decaf thread, most of the time we're talking about decaffing espresso drinks, which just involves pushing a button on the machine. a lot of stores stop brewing decaf regular coffee as the day progresses, which is what you're talking about.
We only brew decaf regular coffee by the cup at my stores... no space for more urns, but... I have actually brewed a whole urn of decaf for a dude who pestered me about brewing the bold coffee fresh when it still had 15 min left. I told him he'd have to wait the 15 min before I dumped it plus the time it would take to brew. Enjoy the fresh decaf! :D
In addition to that, my store leaves the decaf beans out as with the other 3 sets of beans. I usually brew the decaf pike instead of the regular pike and just hand it out to people. Also in the who did you decaf thread, there is an assortment of ways that we decaf people.
it's espresso, not decaf brewed coffee ha
we keep it brewed all day, no pourovers.
We do pourovers at my store because on average we probably only get 1-2 people a day who actually order decaf brewed coffee, but most of the time we just say, "Alright, we'll have that right up!" and make them a decaf Americano.... no one's noticed the difference yet, especially if it's a rush as well and we don't feel like taking the extra 3 minutes to do a pourover.
People who usually only ordered brewed coffee....we love too much to decaf because they still have some self respect to not get some frouffy over modified drink that, is usually over modified cause they think that makes them more cool/sophisticated/smart.
When I handle the back-line during a close, I personally ensure that there's fresh decaf up until 9:30pm.
And I have no ethical issues with decaffing brewed coffee customers if they annoy me.
Decaf Americano? At night I actually wouldn't mind this as caffeine doesn't keep me awake.
Our store never brews decaf, we do pour-overs if someone really wants one, but often, we'll just make decaf americanos. And when I decaf someone, they really deserve it. I have a lot of patience, but there are some people who come up looking for an argument. Those people get decaf. If they order their drink decaf, then they're getting nonfat or fewer pumps... something.
