Discover Our Decaf CollectionAdvanced Chemical-Free Decaffeination Methods
The secret to exceptional decaf lies in the process. We meticulously choose methods that gently remove caffeine while preserving the delicate flavor compounds and aromatic oils that make coffee truly special. These aren't just decaf processes; they are flavor enhancement techniques.
Swiss Water Process
Utilizing only water, temperature, and time, this 100% chemical-free method involves no solvents. It's renowned for its ability to maintain the unique origin characteristics of the bean, resulting in a remarkably clean and vibrant cup. Pure flavor, naturally decaffeinated.
CO2 Method
Supercritical CO2, a natural and environmentally friendly solvent, selectively extracts caffeine while leaving the bean's desirable components intact. This method is highly efficient and guarantees a full-bodied, authentic coffee experience with a lower environmental footprint.
Mountain Water Process
Named for the pristine glacier water sourced from the highest mountains in Mexico, this method gently removes caffeine through a water-saturated process. The result is a decaf with a clean, clear taste profile, reminiscent of the bean's original character.

Brewing Perfect Decaf Coffee
Unlock the full potential of your decaf beans with our expert brewing advice. While the caffeine is gone, the art of extraction remains vital to showcasing their nuanced flavors. We're here to guide you to your perfect cup.
Our Top Decaf Brewing Tips:
- Grind Size: Decaf beans can sometimes be slightly more brittle. Grind just before brewing, and consider a slightly finer grind than usual for pour-over methods to ensure optimal extraction.
- Water Temperature: Aim for the golden range of 90-96°C (195-205°F). Consistent temperature is key to extracting the full flavor profile from your decaf beans.
- Brew Ratio: Start with a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio (e.g., 15g coffee to 240ml water) and adjust to your personal preference. A slightly stronger ratio can sometimes highlight decaf's inherent sweetness.
- Freshness: Store your decaf beans in an airtight container away from light and heat. While decaf is robust, freshness still makes a significant difference to the final cup.
- Experiment: Don't be afraid to try different brewing methods – pour-over, French press, AeroPress, or espresso. Each method can reveal different facets of your decaf's flavor.
