DK Metcalf partners with coffee brand to sell ‘Decaf Metcalf’

DK Metcalf partnered with Volcanica Coffee to begin selling ‘Decaf Metcalf’ after Joe Tessitore’s Monday night mispronunciation.

On Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf was mistakenly referred to by ESPN commentator Joe Tessitore as “decaf Metcalf” and a new meme was born.

That meme developed into even more however, after Metcalf partnered with Georgia-based coffee company, Volcanica Coffee, to begin selling 16-ounce bags of Decaf Metcalf coffee, which is available on the company’s website.

Tessitore has not only blessed the products creation, but he and Metcalf are each ensuring that part of the proceeds for the product go to charities of their choice.

Metcalf is donating his portion to Prison Fellowship, the same organization his My Cause, My Cleats are in honor of, while Tessitore’s is going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

An accidental fumbling of words on a live broadcast is not too uncommon, but the perfect combination of syllables – along with Seattle’s known love of coffee – made this a perfect pairing, and one that at least is leading to some good in the community.

Georgia company selling Decaf Metcalf coffee

A Georgia company, Volcanica Coffee, is producing a brand called Decaf Metcalf, honoring the ESPN MNF flub.

Out of the gaffe of ESPN’s Joe Tessitore straight into your coffee grinder. A Georgia-base company, Volcanica Coffee, is selling Decaf Metcalf, a brand of coffee that pays tribute to the Seahawks’ wideout and MNF announcer whose verbal flub went viral during the Minnesota Vikings-Seattle Seahawks game.

Adam Schefter reported Metcalf is going to see part of the proceeds will be donated to charities of their choice. Metcalf is donating part of the proceeds to Prison Fellowship, which helps prisoners, former prisoners and their families and is a leading advocate for justice reform. It is the same organization for which he is wearing his My Cause My Cleats on Sunday against the Rams.

Tessitore is donating part of the proceeds to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Both charities’ logos will appear on the back of the coffee bags.

The company already has designed packaging for Decaf Metcalf and believes it can sell thousands of units, according to one company official. It says the MSRP is $29.99 but is offering five dollars off for now.

If you are intrigued by the coffee, Volcanica offers the following description:

“Decaf Metcalf Blend is a blend of specialty coffee for DK Metcalf of the Seatle Seahawks. This is an exquisite blend of decaffeinated beans from Guatemala and Papua New Guinea distinguishable by it’s sweet yet bold flavor and full rich body. This is the official coffee for DK Metcalf,” said Volcanica Coffee.

The decaffeination process for our Volcanica House Decaf Coffee uses SWISS WATER. The Swiss Water process is a taste-driven, 100% chemical free decaffeination process that delivers coffee that is 99.9% caffeine-free while protecting the unique origin characteristics and flavor. Most other processes use chemical solvents, like Methylene Chloride or Ethyl Acetate to decaffeinate coffee beans. This process maintains a clean original taste for our Volcanica House Decaf Blend.
