Swiss Water Decaf Coffee

In Australia, a lot of decaf coffee has developed a reputation among coffee drinkers for its dry taste and chalky texture compared to regular coffee. This is an unfortunate result of the common decaffeination processes, which often involve the use of harsh chemical solvents to extract the caffeine.

We only use the Swiss Water decaf coffee process, a 100% chemical-free process that preserves the rich and robust coffee flavours without leaving any nasty residual aftertaste. Using only the power of water, temperature and time, 99.9% of the caffeine is gently removed from the beans without sacrificing taste or integrity.

The Swiss Water Process

Why does our decaffeinated coffee taste so good? It all lies in our commitment to small batch roasting and the Swiss Water chemical-free decaffeination process, which allows for allowing 99.9% caffeine-free beans while retaining the original coffee flavour.

To get the decaffeination process started, first, a green coffee extract is created using fresh water and all the soluble solids within our coffee (except the caffeine of course). After that, the green coffee is rehydrated to get it to the ideal moisture level for caffeine extraction. Silverskin, dust and dirt is also removed during this step.

Then, the green coffee extract is circulated through the green coffee for up to 10 hours, filtering the caffeine out until less than 0.1% remains. This is done through a carbon filtration system, and the carbon is then sent to a regeneration furnace so it can be reused. Next, the green coffee extract is renewed and refreshed so that it can be reused over and over, preventing waste and constantly being monitored for health.
