Good decaf used to be hard to find. The process used to remove caffeine matters a lot for flavor, and Swiss Water is one of the methods coffee lovers ask for by name.
How decaffeination works
Caffeine is removed from green (unroasted) coffee beans, before roasting. Some methods use chemical solvents to pull the caffeine out. The Swiss Water Process uses water instead, along with careful control of temperature and time, and filters to capture the caffeine while leaving as much of the coffee's own flavor in the bean as possible.
How much caffeine is in decaf?
Decaf isn't zero caffeine. According to the National Coffee Association, decaffeination typically removes around 97% of the caffeine, leaving about 2 to 15 mg in an 8 ounce cup. A regular cup has about 95 mg. Swiss Water states that its own process removes 99.9% of the caffeine.
Does decaf taste different?
A well-made decaf tastes like coffee, not a compromise. Expect a smooth, balanced cup. Brew it the same way you'd brew regular coffee, with the same grind and ratio.
