Fraction (Half-Caff - WS)

FULL ON FLAVOR, ONLY HALF THE CAFFEINE

Not too little, not too much: Fraction is Madcap’s half-caffeinated blend, complete with all of the flavor but just half the caffeine. Fraction is carefully blended with an equal balance of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee from South or Central America depending on the season. This half-caff blend is ideal for just one more mid-afternoon cup or a post-dinner desert counterpart, the preamble to decaf. Look for notes of deep chocolate and cherry in this balanced cup.

Fraction, a half-caff offering from Madcap Coffee Company, presents a unique approach to the daily cup by blending caffeinated and decaffeinated components. Sourced from regions across South or Central America, this blend is designed to provide a balanced experience for those seeking a lower caffeine intake without sacrificing the depth of a traditional roast. The roaster identifies prominent notes of deep chocolate and cherry, a profile that often anchors many classic, crowd-pleasing coffees.

When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the rich, cocoa-toned base and the brighter, stone-fruit acidity. While half-caff blends are sometimes overlooked in specialty circles, they offer a practical solution for late-day brewing or for those sensitive to stimulants. By focusing on consistent, approachable flavor markers, Fraction serves as a versatile staple for a wide range of brewing methods and preferences.
