For many people, caffeine is an essential part of coffee enjoyment, but not everyone can tolerate the stimulating alkaloid. For this reason or for other reasons, many people want to avoid caffeinated coffee. But of course the decaffeinated coffee variant should not require any compromises in terms of taste and enjoyment. We attach great importance to quality and taste. Enjoy a rich, medium-intensity Arabica coffee from Mexico. The gentle decaffeination without chemicals preserves the natural and aromatic character of the coffee.
Decaffeination methodology
Decaffeinated coffee has been around for over 100 years, but the production process has changed a lot over time. The decaffeination method plays a central role in the production of decaffeinated coffee. In this process, the fresh coffee beans are immersed in a highly compressed CO2 liquid; this process takes about 5 to 7 hours.
But what exactly happens during this process?
- The caffeine molecules, which characterize the invigorating effect of coffee, are attracted to and released by the electrons in the CO2.
- To remove the caffeine from this liquid, carbon filters are used. These special filters are able to filter out the caffeine.
- The next step is to remove the decaffeinated coffee beans from the CO2 liquid. The CO2 plays a crucial role in this process: it does not affect the carbohydrates inside the beans or their proteins - the components that give the finished product its characteristic taste and aroma.
Overall, the method of decaffeination by soaking in highly compressed CO2 liquid enables the caffeine to be removed from the coffee beans gently and effectively. The special thing about this process is that no artificial chemicals are used. Decaffeination takes place naturally.
This ensures that even decaffeinated connoisseurs can enjoy their beloved coffee to the fullest.
