Swiss Water Process is Best for Decaf Specialty Coffee

The Incredible Swiss Water Process and Specialty Coffee

If you love the taste of specialty coffee but prefer to skip the caffeine, the Swiss Water Process is your go-to method for decaffeination. This approach, originating in Switzerland, stands out for its chemical-free nature and ability to preserve coffee's rich flavor and aroma. It uses only water, time and carbon filtration.  

The Process of Decaffeinating Specialty Coffee Beans

1. Select Quality Beans: Choose high-quality green coffee beans.  (We use only specialty-grade beans).

2. Soak in Water: Soak the beans in hot water to create "Green Coffee Extract."

3. First Decaffeination: Pass the extract through an activated carbon filter, removing caffeine but retaining flavor.

4. Reuse the Extract: Use the caffeine-rich extract on a new batch of beans, letting caffeine migrate out.

5. Repeat: Continue this process until beans are almost entirely caffeine-free.

Preserving Flavor and Aroma

The Swiss Water Process keeps coffee's natural taste and aroma intact. You'll still enjoy your favorite coffee flavors without the caffeine jitters.
