:: Dealing With Decaf :: (#)

  „Ewan goes into technical mode. "Arabica coffee beans are circulated in flavour-charged water. This is water saturated with coffee flavour components. 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.“

The blade type will actually scorch the beans adding a burnt taste. So it's often preferded to choose a coffee mill if you don't want to spoil the flavour of your coffe enjoyement.“

Espresso Pods and Espresso coffee machines

  „2 - 3 hours after you have ground your coffee beans, much of the flavour and fragrance is lost. However, with the revolutionary Espresso Pod system, each individual dose is stored in an oxygen free, sealed foil pack to ensure the coffee cannot be spoiled. You have freshly roasted and ground coffee at every serving.“

1900's

  „1903: German coffee importer Ludwig Roselius gave a batch of ruined coffee beans to researchers, who went on to perfect the process of removing caffeine from coffee beans without destroying the flavour. He marketed the new coffee under the brand name "Sanka."  “
