This process has been known to use solvents that have been criticized for being toxic and unhealthy. This process starts with the green coffee bean that is soaked in water to open up the pores before being rinsed several times with chemicals such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate. Sometimes the beans are even soaked in a coffee extract afterward that is meant to add back the flavor of coffee.
This process was born from passionate people like us who believe decaf coffee should be healthy and taste amazing. This eco-friendly process uses charcoal filters to remove the caffeine after the green beans are soaked in hot water. This ends up removing about 97-99.9% of caffeine and produces a much more flavorful and healthy cup of coffee. Try our Decaf Cero Roast below and see what we mean...
