The Truth About Decaf

Decaf gets a bad name. It does not deserve it.

Decaf is not caffeine free. It has about three percent of the original caffeine. Enough to matter for the truly sensitive, nothing for everyone else.

The Swiss water process is the best method. It uses water to extract caffeine, no chemicals. The beans keep their flavor.

Most decaf used to be roasted poorly because it was treated as an afterthought. That changed. Specialty roasters now treat decaf beans with respect.

Good decaf can taste as good as regular coffee. Same beans, same roast, same brew. Just no jitters.

If you love coffee but caffeine keeps you up, try a good decaf. Your evenings will thank you.
