CO2 or Swiss Water Deluxe Decaf Decaffeination Process
The CO2 process is the least invasive of the decaffeination methods. Using high pressure to bind the caffeine molecule with the CO2 molecule, thus leaving the protein structure and sugars intact. This method produces better results than alternative chemical extractions.
- Pure water is added and the coffee beans are soaked
- The cells of the beans absorb the water and make the caffeine molecules mobile, dissolving into the water
- Carbon dioxide gas is added (this is 100% natural as the air we breathe) at 250 atmospheres pressure and 90 degrees celsius
- The caffeine diffuses into the carbon dioxide, leaving the proteins, carbohydrates etc etc (all the good stuff) alone
- The water and CO2 with 99.9% of the caffeine still bonded to it, is removed
- The beans are dried naturally and then roasted
- The CO2 is separated and re-used and the caffeine is sold to everyone else who needs it – the energy drinks guys etc!
It’s a 100% natural and recyclable process – beautiful.

Very smooth body and taste. Its a coffee we can drink all day. Probable all in the mind, but “decaf” sounds more healthy….

I have been buying the coffee exclusively for over a year. Definitely the best I’ve tasted. When I have guests over they always say how delicious the coffee is. I have never found a decaf brand that stated the type of decaffeination method used and this was the first…was looking for a safe decaf coffee and swiss water method is definitely the safest! Do not plan on switching to another brand ever…unless this one stops being produced! Lol
