Drinking Decaffeinated Coffees (#)
„They use several methods to decaffeinate coffee beans, but there are two preferred methods: removal of caffeine by either solvents or water. For those health-conscious consumers that shudder at the thought of chemicals being added to their coffee beans, there has been little evidence that the chemical used is harmful. This fact may not convince many of you to choose the chemically processed beans, but have you considered the flavor quality? Water-processed beans lack the flavor that is found in the chemically-processed beans.“

„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?“
