Decaffeinated coffee

Decaffeinated coffee, also called decaf, is sometimes difficult to obtain and often undrinkable. This is often due to the decaffeination process, low-quality green coffee, poor roasting, or all of the above. Decaffeinated coffee is quite popular, not just among pregnant women. That's why we've selected particularly high-quality coffee beans for you, from which the caffeine has been extracted entirely without chemicals.

This shade-grown organic Arabica coffee is a delightfully nutty, all-day brew. The caffeine was gently extracted using the safe CO2 process before roasting. Aromas of nougat, wafer, and cocoa are accompanied by a light apple note. The medium roast emphasizes this balanced interplay of sweetness, roasted aromas, and acidity.

The Cafeticultores Orgánicos de Oaxaca (Coroax) cooperative was founded in 2012 and consists of 2,000 family-run farms belonging to the predominantly indigenous population of the Oaxaca region. In December 2022, we were able to visit the Coroax and were impressed by the natural beauty of the mountains surrounding Oaxaca City and the warmth of its members. You can read more about our trip in our post on the Coffee Blog.

On average, a family owns around 3 hectares of land in the high mountain regions of the state. Joining forces in the cooperative enables smallholder farmers to improve the quality of their green coffee and market it more effectively.

All of the cooperative's coffee farms follow strict organic farming guidelines. This producer is particularly distinguished by its commitment to preserving the biodiversity of local flora and fauna, as well as fair payment to smallholder farmers. We are particularly pleased to present this low-acid Arabica from Coroax.

We're delighted to present this versatile decaffeinated coffee. This organic decaf coffee is perfect for espresso, cappuccino, or a nutty-sweet filter coffee.

Decaffeinated coffee from Süssmund Kaffee

Full coffee enjoyment despite decaffeination

In the carbon dioxide method, the caffeine is extracted from the steeped green coffee using CO2. The liquid CO2 binds the caffeine under pressure and releases it from the coffee beans. Depending on the original caffeine content, this step is repeated several times to ensure that less than 0.1% caffeine remains in the coffee beans.

The decaffeinated raw coffee beans are then dried and bagged again. This process is completely safe and preserves the flavor characteristics of the green coffee as best as possible, without the addition of any chemical solvents.

To make our Oaxaca Organic Decaf from Mexico particularly versatile, we opted for a medium roast. This allows for digestible preparation both as a filter coffee and as an espresso.

With this caffeine-free organic coffee, you don't have to miss out on full flavor. Experience this nutty-sweet decaf coffee made from these fine Arabica beans from Mexico.

Decaffeination according to the Swiss Water® method

The patented Swiss Water® method was developed in the 1970s as an alternative to conventional processes that relied on various chemical solvents to extract caffeine. The essential basis for this process is the so-called Green Coffee Extract (GCE). This GCE consists simply of water that is enriched once with all the soluble substances (except caffeine) of the coffee bean. This saturated water circulates around the green coffee for eight to ten hours until the desired caffeine content of < 0.1% is reached.

After the caffeine is extracted from the GCE using an activated carbon filter. The carbon is burned in a furnace to recycle the caffeine. This patented process returns 80% of the used water cleanly to the water cycle. This ensures no harm to the environment and prevents employees from being exposed to potentially harmful substances.

The advantages of the Swiss Water® method lie not only in the sustainability of the production process, but also in the flavor of the final product. Due to the special saturation of the GCE, the water absorbs hardly any of the green coffee's soluble substances during decaffeination, which are so important for the flavor of the final product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does decaffeinated coffee contain caffeine?

Depending on the processing method, a small amount of caffeine remains in the coffee bean. In Europe, decaffeinated coffee may only be marketed as such if it contains less than 0.1% caffeine.

Why do people drink decaffeinated coffee?

Caffeine is a natural pesticide found in the coffee plant that kills insects. In the human body, it has a stimulating effect, dilates blood vessels, and boosts metabolism. In general, caffeine is safe in manageable amounts. However, some people react sensitively to even small amounts. The most common side effects include difficulty falling asleep, heart palpitations, or headaches. For those who enjoy coffee but can't or don't want to consume caffeine, decaffeinated coffee is available.

Which is the best decaffeinated coffee?

In the decaffeination process, it is important to preserve as many of the substances important for the coffee's flavor as possible during the process. A gentle method that does not require the use of chemical solvents is pressurized carbon dioxide rinsing or the patented Swiss Water® method. This preserves the flavor of the coffee beans as best as possible, while the process is safe.
