From the roaster

For the first time in our 30+ year history, Klatch Coffee is releasing a half-caffeinated coffee. Introducing One Eye Open—a unique 50/50 blend of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees that delivers all the flavor you expect from Klatch, with half the caffeine. Whether you're looking to cut back, enjoy an afternoon cup, or simply avoid overdoing it on caffeine, One Eye Open offers a smooth, satisfying cup without compromise.

Thoughtfully crafted for those who love great coffee at any hour, this smooth medium roast delivers full-bodied flavor and a balanced caffeine kick to keep you feeling refreshed and ready for whatever comes next.

Why did you decide to release a half-caffeinated coffee?

The simple answer? Life changes. We’d love to stay young forever, but aging is inevitable. As we grow older, it can be a little harder to enjoy as much caffeine as we did when we were younger. Even as a brand, Klatch Coffee is turning 33 in September 2026!

Coffee is our livelihood, but it's also something we genuinely enjoy every day. Between our morning cups, daily production cuppings, and evaluating new coffees, it's easy for caffeine to add up. We wanted an option that let us keep enjoying exceptional coffee throughout the day without always committing to a full dose of caffeine.

Here at Klatch Coffee, we genuinely love what we do, and we genuinely love each and every product we’ve created. Every single origin offering, every blend, and every espresso is a favorite amongst the team. Thus, we wanted to create an option for our team to enjoy and to be able to share with the world, too!

Ultimately, we wanted to create a less-caffeinated coffee, because we love the taste of coffee, but we don’t always love how coffee might make us feel. And, we figured there may be others out there who feel the same way.

Who would enjoy this coffee?

Indulge in decadent notes of chocolate truffle, warm cinnamon sticks, and perfectly toasted marshmallow in every sip. This unique blend combines the bold, earthy character of Sumatran coffee with the bright, balanced sweetness of a Colombian coffee. With these two components, you’re left with a remarkably smooth and satisfying cup. Whether you're easing into the day, powering through an afternoon slump, or treating yourself to an evening coffee moment, One Eye Open offers all the flavor and comfort you crave, with just a gentle lift to keep you going.

For anyone who enjoys a smooth, rich, aromatic cup of coffee, the One Eye Open is a great fit. Even if you’re someone who needs all the caffeine, all day, everyday, don’t let the half-caffeinated title fool you. This coffee sees no less effort, and is just as premium and high quality as any other coffee we carry. It’s not short on flavor, and it even still pairs great with milk for an afternoon latte that won’t keep you awake all night long!

What are the components of this blend?

One Eye Open is made up of two components: a decaffeinated Colombian coffee, and a caffeinated Sumatran coffee.

The Sumatran coffee in this blend is from the town of Lintong Nihuta, within the northern Sumatra province. The farms are located near the southern shores of Lake Toba, the largest volanic lake in the world. With this unique volcanic soil that's rich in nutrients, this is the ideal location for coffee growth within the region. The town itself also sits on a plateau that's roughly 1,000 to 1,300 meters above sea level as well. The coffee is a blend of ateng and jember varietals, and undergoes Sumatra's standard wet-hulling process. Most, if not all, coffee produced in Sumatra is wet-hulled. Farmers depulp freshly picked cherries, ferment them overnight, wash them, and send them to a mill partially dried. The coffee's husk is removed at an earlier stage than a standard washed process, while the green seed is still soft, so grea

Context

One Eye Open, a blend from Klatch Coffee, brings together beans from Indonesia and Colombia to create a profile defined by chocolate truffle, warm cinnamon sticks, and toasted marshmallow. The Indonesian component, sourced from the Lintong Nihuta region of Sumatra, utilizes the traditional wet-hulled process. This method, often referred to as giling basah, is known for producing a distinctively heavy body and earthy complexity, which contrasts with the cleaner profiles typically associated with washed coffees. You can learn more about how these processing methods influence the final cup in our guide.

The blend features the ateng and jember varietals, which are widely cultivated across the Indonesian archipelago. Grown at elevations between 1000 and 1300 meters, these plants contribute to the structural foundation of the coffee.
