Coffee contains more than four hundred substances important for the taste and aroma of the final beverage: it is therefore a challenge to remove only the caffeine and keep the other substances at the same level.
How is our decaffeinated coffee made?
There are several ways to remove caffeine from coffee beans. Most ways use water, a natural solvent or carbon dioxide. It is not possible to remove all caffeine from coffee. A small amount of about 0.1 percent always remains. The first way to remove caffeine from coffee beans was discovered by Ludwig Roselius and Karl Wimmer in 1903. The beans were steamed in a solution of salt water and then the caffeine was removed with a solvent.
Decaffeinating via swiss water
In the 1930s, the “Swiss Water®” method was developed in Switzerland. Swiss Water® technology is a chemical-free decaffeination process that uses only pure water to extract the caffeine from the coffee beans. This method is not only safe and effective, but also preserves the coffee's unique flavours and aromas, so you can enjoy a rich and satisfying cup of decaffeinated coffee.

Is decaffeinated coffee healthier than regular coffee?
Many of the positive effects of coffee, such as its stimulant effect, come from the caffeine in the beans. Too much caffeine can lead to increased blood pressure, insomnia, or even nervousness, anxiety and palpitations. If you are sensitive to caffeine, it is wise to switch to decaffeinated coffee. Although decaffeinated coffee does not provide as much of a boost as regular coffee, it contains almost the same amount of antioxidants. Antioxidants help your body fight free radicals, and coffee is one of the main sources of these substances, such as vitamins E and C and trace minerals.
