Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„Recent research conducted by the management of Swiss Water Decaffeinated has revealed that most decaf drinkers (nearly 65 percent) also drink regular coffee during the day. This means the typical decaf drinker really loves the taste of coffee and wants to keep enjoying it past the point of not wanting any more caffeine. In addition, these dual users, on average, drink more coffee than those who just drink regular or decaf alone, making them very desirable coffee customers indeed. Obviously, most dual users will find it easiest to get their regular and decaffeinated coffee at one location, and the coffeehouse that serves excellent coffee in regular and decaf versions is most likely to earn the loyalty of these customers throughout the day.“

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | GM decaf coffee plant created (#)

„But according to the trade body, the International Coffee Organisation (ICO), several major questions remain - not least over how the cost of the GM technology will compare with the industrial decaffeination process used currently. Bitter battle Pablo Dubois, from the ICO, said: "The global market for coffee is about $70bn a year, and decaf makes up about 10% of that. "The main issue would be the economics - is it going to be cheaper to buy GM seeds and grow them than to decaffeinate coffee as we do now?" Other researchers, some in commercial companies, have been working on GM decaf for several years. But Professor Alan Crozier, from the biochemistry department in Glasgow University, UK, says this is the first credible evidence that the GM decaffeination concept actually works.“

„Student groups have also negotiated with Seattle's Best Coffee to offer more Fair Trade. The Seattle-based coffee supplier will debut two new Fair Trade Certified coffee lines, including a decaf blend, at more than 200 college campuses this spring. "Students around the country are endorsing TransFair's mission of improving coffee farmers' lives and have asked us to increase our Fair Trade offerings," explained Steve Schickler, President of Seattle Coffee Company, parent company of SBC.“

Syd and Jerry's Coffee Roaster -The Coffee Kinetics Roaster (#)

„The roaster does take a bit longer to roast Decaf coffees and you will need to set it 12 degrees Celsius higher than an equivalent non-Decaf roast. The reason is that the lower density of Decaf coffees does not absorb heat as efficiently in a rapid air stream as non-Decaf coffees. While testing, we simply vented using laundry dryer hoses into the bed of the 12 Kilo Diedrich roaster (set with the cooling fan on and drawing air down through the cooling tray). The roaster requires ventilation to the outside!“

Fairtrade | Get involved | Campaign e-mail (#)

„Your requests for Fairtrade coffee in your local Starbucks is having an impact! Starbucks have just announced that one drip coffee brewer in every store will be changed from brewing decaffeinated coffee to brew Fairtrade coffee at all times. This is to be implemented in all of the company’s coffee shops unless a particular store requests otherwise; so far, only eleven of the 407 stores have said they will serve decaf instead of Fairtrade.“

Sweet Maria's Decaffeinated Coffee Offerings (#)

„Notes: It's rare to have a decaf cup that uses the non-chemical water process method and cups at the same caliber as the non-decaf coffee from the same source … in fact it has often been a challenge for me to find a SWP coffee with any character at all. The process is too brutal of on the coffee, so I thought, to leave much character behind. But this coffee originated with an excellent Sulawesi lot, and then was sent to new water-process decaffeinator in Mexico.“

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.“

„As ye tmy sweet cravings haven't gone away - but I'm still hoping they will. I just had to given in this morning and made myself a cup of decaf coffee with half a tablespoon of cream and some sweetner. There is a definite difference that showed my sweet tooth is dimishing as it was much too sweet, so much so I had to make another cup with half the amount of my normal sweetner in. I'm going to persevere as this is obviously working.“

„The problem is that older customers are also pickier customers, they are more affluent and have more choices, they’ve also been exposed to more, they have a wider range of experience. Further, and more specifically, they won’t be trying their first cup of decaf coffee and asking themselves, “Gee, is this good decaf?” No, they’ll be comparing that cup of decaf to regular. Again, if it doesn’t measure up, they might leave coffee altogether.“

This move included the installation of two roasters and provided room for storage of our Colombian coffee, decaf, Bolivian organic, Panela (cane sugar) and Frutos (dried tropical fruit). 2004 promises to be another exciting year! Julian from Bolivia will be staying with us from March until June to learn language and understand our business.“

„Qusac is also launching a water process decaf coffee that is coming to market in June. While he wouldn’t reveal how the process works, his company guarantees that “it’s a pure 100% water decaf.” Many decaffeinators today, it seems, are becoming increasingly concerned with keeping the technology they use confidential-especially when it comes to plants operating either CO2 or “pure water” processes. This may reflect the competitive nature of the business.“
