What process is used to decaffeinate the coffee?
Keurigs roasting partners use different processes to decaffeinate their coffee. The most widely used processes include the SWISS WATER Process which is a 100% chemical free coffee decaffeination. Most other processes use chemical solvents, like methylene chloride, to decaffeinate coffee beans. Conversely, the SWISS WATER Process uses only water when removing caffeine, producing water processed decaf coffee. The majority of decaf coffee, about 80%, is decaffeinated with a chemical decaffeination method using chemicals like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate. There are two types of chemical caffeine removal processes: direct and indirect. The terms water process, natural process, and European process are sometimes used to describe decaffeination processes. In fact, all three terms often refer to decaffeination processes that use chemicals. We recommend contacting the Roaster directly to inquire about specific coffee decaffeination methods.
