It’s interesting that everytime I make regular coffee, I need to clean my reusable filter, but when I make decaf, there’s nothing to clean?

Decaf coffee is put through quite the chemical process that changes the way it filters.
This is how many decaf coffees are made ::
The direct method steams the beans for half an hour and then rinses the coffee beans with ethyl acetate or methylene chloride. After the chemicals are drained, the beans are then steamed again. When this process uses ethyl acetate derived from fruit or vegetables, the coffee is said to be naturally decaffeinated.

Are you drinking Kool-Aid or coffee.??

That decaf coffee that you’re using is probably instant coffee (dehydrated).

If the grind is too fine or too coarse, then you’ll find the remains in the filter regardless of whether or not its leaded or unleaded.
