Coffee is one of the most beloved drinks in the world, but not everyone wants or can consume caffeine. This is where decaffeinated coffee, or decaf, comes in – allowing you to enjoy the taste and aroma of coffee without the stimulating effects of caffeine.
It’s important to note that caffeine is removed from the beans when they are still green, unroasted coffee beans, not from the roasted coffee itself. This ensures that the beans retain their flavour and aroma compounds before roasting, resulting in a rich cup without caffeine.
How is Coffee Decaffeinated?
Naturally, coffee beans contain about 1–2% caffeine. To remove it, several methods exist, but the best quality decaf coffee is produced through natural, chemical-free processes.
One of the most respected approaches is the water process, used by Descamex in Mexico. The process works as follows:
- Green coffee beans are soaked in water, which draws out caffeine and some soluble compounds.
- The water is then passed through a carbon filter that traps the caffeine while allowing flavor and aroma compounds to remain.
- The beans are dried again, preserving their natural character.
The result is coffee with only 0.01–0.02% caffeine, while keeping its rich and complex flavor intact.
Why Choose Decaf Coffee?
- Enjoy coffee in the evening – without it affecting your sleep.
- Gentler for sensitive digestion or health reasons – while still offering the same coffee experience.
- For the pure taste – sometimes you just want the flavor of coffee without the caffeine kick.
