“Unlock the Secrets of Solvent-Based Decaf: Unveiling the Artistry Behind Caffeine Extraction Methods” …

• Direct solvent method: Coffee beans are steamed and soaked in a solvent, such as methylene chloride (MC) or ethyl acetate (EA), to dissolve caffeine. The solvent is then removed, leaving behind decaffeinated beans.
• Indirect solvent method: Coffee beans are soaked in water to extract caffeine, and then the caffeine-containing water is treated with a solvent to separate caffeine from the solution. The solvent is then removed, and the coffee beans are re-soaked in the caffeine-free water, allowing them to reabsorb the flavors lost during the initial extraction.
• Swiss Water Process: Coffee beans are soaked in water to extract caffeine and flavor compounds. The resulting solution, containing both caffeine and flavor compounds, is passed through activated carbon filters that selectively remove caffeine while retaining other flavor compounds. The beans are then re-immersed in the caffeine-free solution to restore flavor.

EA is my favorite decaf process, it is the best tasting decaf coffee.
