Coffland Corp: Swiss Water Process: Making a Decaffeinated Drink

An ancient way to make decaffeinated coffee.

Decaffeinated coffee has a notorious reputation in the coffee industry. Many baristas don't like working with it because the flavor is subpar. Coffee roasters believe that making decaffeinated coffee includes an unnecessary use of chemicals, and it can be harmful to consumers health.

The truth is that caffeine has good and bad properties for your body. Yes, it boosts you up with energy, but also can be an addictive substance for your brain. If you think decaf coffee is an alternative to these results but you're afraid of the bad trait it has in the market, Coffland Corp may have a fair solution to your dilemma!

Years ago, in the late 70's (back when the bell-bottomed pants were a trend), a coffee roaster company named Coffex developed a great process to decaf your coffee. It was called Swiss Water process.

Coffex soaked coffee green beans in water to an extreme cleaning. Then, the coffee beans were drowned in a chemical called Green Coffee Extract that leaks the caffeine. This liquid is passed through a charcoal carbon filters to remove any surplus and then reintroduced to the beans. The final result: a 99.9% caffeine-free coffee beans!

Nowadays, Swiss Water Process has evolved. In those years, this process was the only one in the market that used fewer chemicals to remove the caffeine. At this moment, it’s possible to condense this substance and sold it separated from coffee. Meanwhile, the green coffee beans are roasted, brewed and grounded as any other type of coffee.

Making decaffeinated coffee is not simple. It requires time, effort and a big amount of capital. That's why the final product is a little bit more expensive than standard roasted coffee. That apart, here at Coffland Corp, we support any coffee because we love this beverage as much as its consumers. Be free to try the decaffeinated coffee and tell us how was your experience!
