Frequently Asked Questions About Starbucks decaf espresso
Does Starbucks decaf espresso have any caffeine?
Yes, Starbucks decaf espresso still contains a small amount of caffeine because decaffeination removes most, not all, of it. The amount can vary with the number of shots and the product served in a particular market.
How is Starbucks decaf espresso made?
Starbucks decaf espresso is brewed from coffee beans that have had most of their caffeine removed before roasting. The decaffeinated beans are then ground and extracted with pressurized hot water, as with regular espresso.
Can you order Starbucks drinks with decaf espresso?
Yes, many espresso-based Starbucks drinks can be made with decaf espresso. Ask for decaf shots when ordering a latte, cappuccino, or another espresso drink; availability and preparation options can vary by store.
Does Starbucks decaf espresso taste different from regular espresso?
Yes, it may taste different because removing caffeine can also affect some of the beans’ flavor compounds. Starbucks decaf espresso still has a concentrated, roasted espresso taste, while milk can soften differences between the two.
Can Starbucks decaf espresso keep you awake?
Yes, it can affect sleep in people who are sensitive to caffeine, since decaf espresso is not caffeine-free. If caffeine tends to keep you awake, avoid having Starbucks decaf espresso close to bedtime.
Can you use Starbucks decaf espresso to make an iced Americano?
Yes, pour cold water over Starbucks decaf espresso and add ice to make a decaf iced Americano. It will still contain some caffeine, so it is not a caffeine-free drink.
Is Starbucks decaf espresso okay to drink during pregnancy?
It can fit into pregnancy, but Starbucks decaf espresso still contributes some caffeine to your daily total. Count other caffeine sources too, and ask your healthcare professional for guidance if you need a personal limit.
Can you make a decaf latte with Starbucks decaf espresso at home?
Yes, brew Starbucks decaf espresso and combine it with steamed milk for a decaf latte. The espresso can also be topped with frothed milk for a cappuccino; the number of shots determines how strong the coffee flavor is.
How long does Starbucks decaf espresso last after brewing?
It is best shortly after brewing, when its aroma and crema are at their freshest. If you need to keep leftover Starbucks decaf espresso, refrigerate it promptly and use it soon; leaving it out for a long time harms its quality.
Does Starbucks decaf espresso use the same beans as Starbucks regular espresso?
Not necessarily; decaf espresso is made with decaffeinated beans, and the blend may differ from the regular espresso used in a store. Starbucks offerings can vary by location, so the flavor may not match cup for cup.

What is Starbucks decaf espresso?
Starbucks decaf espresso is a short, concentrated coffee made by forcing hot water through finely ground, roasted coffee beans that have had most of their caffeine removed. Decaf is not necessarily completely caffeine-free, so a small amount may remain.
It has the familiar roasted aroma and bold, slightly bitter taste of espresso, served in a small cup. Espresso is rooted in Italian coffee culture and is now enjoyed around the world, on its own or with milk; you can also use it as the base for a latte or cappuccino. It is very low in calories, with 2 calories per 100 g. For a lighter cup, drink it plain or add a little milk rather than sweetened syrup.
