It's All About Coffee

  „Why yes, as a matter of fact, you do. When you pull out your supply of green decaf beans the physical differences between regular and decaffeinated beans is striking. Compared to the unprocessed beans, which are plump and green, the decaf appear stunted: and shriveled, with a brownish tint, almost as if they were already roasted. What path have these beans traveled to lose that component called caffeine, and take on this striking difference?“

:: Dealing With Decaf ::

  „Flavour-charged water circulation is unique to the Swiss Water process and prevents most of the flavour compounds within the beans from dissolving during decaffeination, whilst at the same time the caffeine from the beans is absorbed into the surrounding liquid." So far, so wet. "We then use a series of activated carbon filters to remove all the caffeine from the flavour-charged water, and it can be used again for the next batch of beans. It's a remarkably efficient process, and an expensive one, not least because of the strict caffeine monitoring involved." So, how are other coffees decaffeinated, then? "Typically, coffee is decaffeinated through a variety of more chemically-reliant, severe processes involving substances like Methylene Chloride, Supercritical Carbon Dioxide or Ethyl Acetate.“

Tea & Coffee 03/02 - Decaf Dialogue

  „In addition, the added costs of shipping to and from decaffeination facilities makes the decaffeinator’s cost structure vulnerable to increases in transportation costs. Further, delays in custom’s entries, exacerbated by the tragic events of 9/11, have increased the costs of financing and made the costs of “pipeline fill” for roasters vis-a-vis decaf coffee somewhat greater. All of this adds up to more pressure on the decaffeinator than is in the tank of a supercritical carbon dioxide processor, and that’s a lot.“
