Good-tasting decaf coffee?

Tim's really sucks for all their coffee IMO. For decaf, I find Folger's to be as good as any. Sometimes I pick up flavoured decaf beans and grind them at home just to have variety. If you have a Keurig, there are a few good decafs depending on what roast you like.
Ya, not impressed with Tims decaf at all, and I really like their regular caf coffee. First time I thought it maybe had just been sitting too long in the pot, but it was the same the next two times. Conclusion: their in-store decaf sucks :0)
I do not have a keurig but it is on my wish list and has been for years now. I like a light roast mild tasting coffee. Has anyone tried Van Houtte decaf?

I drink bold so never use Van Houtte. My son prefers light roast and he likes the Van Houtte coffees but he has never had the decaf. To me Van Houtte is too wimpy.
The Folgers to me is more like a medium roast. It's a bit wimpier than I like but it's not bad overall.
They have recently changed the decaf from Tim's. I used to drink it atleast once every couple of weeks or so (still pre op) and during the ice storm we had stopped in the evening and I grabbed one....it was disgusting. I thought maybe they had run out of the regular decaf and had to use another brand....then last week we stopped and I grabbed another. It was so bitter tasted just like the last one. Never again, why can't they just leave things alone. LOL
I have the Folgers decaf for the keurig and it is really good. As is the Tim's for the tassimo. Atleast it used to be, hopefully they haven't changed it.

try to find the roast you like in a decaf version. I couldn't tell the difference. I buy beans in Walmart (Colombian) and grind right in my coffee machine. My husband apparently can tell the difference, he is an espresso fanatic so I can't bring my devil decaf beans into the machine now :) I settled for a single long espresso shot in a glass of milk, so all I drink now is lattes :) Takes care of my coffee cravings, one is good enough for the whole day
