Certified Decaf Coffee Process

coffee-k-cups/
We wrote recently about decaf coffee
and whether it is organic or not.

coffee-k-cups/
In our article Organic Coffee without
Caffeine we noted that the only
organic certified way to make decaf
is the Swiss Water Process.

coffee-k-cups/
The Swiss water method does not
use solvents to decaffeinate coffee. It
was invented 80 years ago but
required decades for technical
improvements to make it cost
effective. The company that does this
is in Vancouver, B.C. and their
process for making decaf organic
coffee is certified.

coffee-k-cups/
To remove caffeine, coffee beans are
soaked in hot water. The water passes
through a large-pore activated charcoal
filter with pore size such that larger
caffeine molecules are trapped and
smaller molecules (oils, antioxidants)
pass through. The remaining water
contains flavor elements but not
caffeine. Then the first batch of caffeine-
free beans is discarded.

coffee-k-cups/
Now new beans are soaked in the new
flavorful but caffeine free water. Osmosis
causes caffeine to leech out of the
beans because of the difference in
coffee concentration between bean and
water. The flavor elements, antioxidants,
etc. remain in the bean because there is
not concentration difference between
bean and water.

coffee-k-cups/
All batches are tested to guarantee
that their coffee is 99.5% caffeine
free. And decaf coffee made this way
is always labeled as Swiss Water
decaf.

coffee-k-cups/
So if you are looking for organic
decaffeinated coffee in k cups look
for certification of the Swiss Water
Process.

Where Does the Coffee Come
From?

coffee-k-cups/
Our favorite coffees are Colombian
Arabica and this includes when the
coffee is decaffeinated.

coffee-k-cups/
Read our article about coffee from
Manizales, Colombia for a sense of
the culture and the quality of the
coffee.

coffee-k-cups/
Manizales was founded in the mid-
19th century by 14 families who
moved into this mountainous region
specifically to grow coffee. They are
now known as the founders or
Fundadores.

coffee-k-cups/
The local upscale mall is the
Fundadores and a large local grocery
store is La 14 in reference to the
founders. Coffee culture is
everywhere and Manizales is the
home of the Colombian Coffee
Growers Association.

coffee-k-cups/
There are large coffee roasting
companies everywhere but our focus
is on the small family operations. We
visited one such company recently.
Dad came from Tolima, Colombia a
generation ago and founded a
tilladora.

coffee-k-cups/
This word translates as thresher in
Google but is the operation for
removal of the husk on the green
coffee bean before roasting.

If you want great organic coffee look
for Colombian.
