    "content_text": "Nescaf\u00e9 Azera Americano Decaff: The Small Decaf Jar, in summary: A decaffeinated instant with ground roast coffee mixed through the soluble, sold in a small 90g jar for occasional cups. It still holds a trace of caffeine, leaves a little silt, and wants one rounded teaspoon per 200ml mug.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nThe Azera idea is simple: blend a small share of real roast and ground coffee into the soluble so the mug smells brewed rather than instant. This 90g jar applies it to decaffeinated coffee, for the afternoon and evening cups you want without most of the caffeine.\nWhat the ground coffee in the jar does \nThe published ingredients are just two: decaffeinated soluble coffee, and decaffeinated roast and ground coffee at 5%. The soluble part dissolves completely and sets the strength. The ground part never dissolves; it disperses through the water, gives off aroma as soon as the kettle is poured and adds body, then slowly settles out.\nThat is why the last centimetre of the mug holds a fine silt. It is the ground coffee behaving as ground coffee always does, not a faulty jar, and a mug with no sediment would mean no ground coffee had gone in. Leave the final sip behind if the texture bothers you. Nescaf\u00e9's published list for Azera Decaff names none of the 14 major allergens.\nDecaffeinated, not caffeine-free \nDecaffeination removes most of the caffeine, not all of it, and a trace stays in every decaf coffee. For an evening mug or a late meeting that is usually enough, but anyone avoiding caffeine on medical advice should treat this as low rather than zero. The medium roast reads nutty and gently cocoa-like, with the middle softened slightly by the decaf process.\nWe stock two decaf Azeras. This 90g jar is the small one, sized for someone who makes a decaf now and then rather than every day. The 135g Azera Decaf Americano with Finely Ground Beans is the larger buy for a nightly habit. For daytime, the caffeinated Azera Americano and Azera Americano Intense both come in 140g.\nBuild it long, in a mug \nAmericano names the drink rather than the origin: a long black coffee made to fill a mug. Start with one rounded teaspoon, roughly 2g, to a 200ml mug. A second spoon does not simply give a stronger version; it gives a drier, different cup altogether. If you want more punch, use less water and keep the spoon the same.\nWhat matters most in a desk decaf is how it tastes twenty minutes later, and here the bitterness stays low and clean as the mug cools instead of turning sour. That makes it forgiving for anyone who leaves a mug on the windowsill mid-meeting. Take it black first; the blend is tuned for length, and a short, strong measure turns heavy.\nThe packs we stock \n\nNescafe Azera Americano Decaff Instant Coffee, 90g (barcode 8445290044853)\n\nWhat the label says \nThe published ingredient list for Nescafe Azera Americano Decaff Instant Coffee, 90g (barcode 8445290044853) names none of the 14 major allergens.

No. It is decaffeinated, so most of the caffeine has gone but a trace remains, as in all decaf coffee.\nWhat is the silt at the bottom of my mug? The ground roast coffee settling out. It does not dissolve, so a little sediment is expected.\nHow much Azera Decaff should I use per mug? About 2g, one rounded teaspoon of Azera Decaff, to a 200ml mug. For more strength, use less water rather than more coffee.\nDoes Americano mean the beans are American? No. It describes a long black coffee; the origin split of the blend is not published on the jar.\nWhich decaf Azera should I buy? The 90g jar if decaf is an occasional cup, the 135g Decaf Americano if you make one most nights.\nCurator's note: Keep this jar for the afternoon and evening, when making a coffee is the point and the kick is not. Make it in a proper mug and leave the silt behind.
