What You Need to Know About Decaffeinated Coffee
What is decaffeinated coffee?
Basically, this is completely normal green coffee from which the caffeine has been almost completely extracted before the actual roasting process. The goal is to make coffee enjoyment possible without activating the stimulating effect of caffeine. High-quality decaffeinated coffee retains all of its essential oils and flavor components, so that you do not notice any sensory difference compared to conventional coffee.
How is decaffeinated coffee created and how is it produced?
The extraction of the green beans takes place in a multi-stage process before the beans go into the drum roasting machine. So, how exactly is decaffeinated coffee created? The green coffee beans are first made to swell with water or steam. This opens the cell structure of the bean so that the caffeine can be dissolved out in the next step.
When it comes to the question of how decaffeinated coffee is produced, we distinguish mainly between industrial and ecological processes:
The CO2 and Water Process (Chemical-Free)
Premium coffees use physical processes. The CO2 process uses natural spring carbon dioxide under high pressure to specifically bind the caffeine and wash it out of the bean. The Swiss Water Process, on the other hand, uses a coffee-extract water bath. Both methods guarantee that the decaffeinated coffee remains healthy and that no chemical residues end up in the cup.
Is decaffeinated coffee healthy?
Yes, absolutely. Due to the gentle caffeine extraction, the bean by no means loses its valuable antioxidants. You continue to benefit from the positive properties of the coffee bean – completely without unwanted side effects on the cardiovascular system. Since our traditional roasters give the beans plenty of time in the drum, chlorogenic acids break down optimally. This makes the result in the cup particularly gentle on the stomach.
Especially for people with high blood pressure, a sensitive stomach, or as a decaffeinated coffee pregnancy alternative, it is the perfect choice to relieve the circulatory system without giving up the beloved coffee taste.
Does decaffeinated coffee have caffeine and how much caffeine does decaffeinated coffee have?
One of the most common questions is: Does decaffeinated coffee have caffeine? The answer is a clear yes, though in a minimal dose. A residual content can technically never be avoided 100 percent.
But how much caffeine does decaffeinated coffee have exactly? Strict statutory limits apply in the European Union. The decaffeinated coffee caffeine content must not exceed a maximum of 0.1 percent of the dry matter. For comparison: a normal cup of coffee contains about 80 milligrams of caffeine, while a cup of the decaffeinated variant only contains around 2 to 3 milligrams. This nuance has no noticeable effect on sleep or the nervous system.
Does decaffeinated coffee taste different?
This is often the case with industrial mass-produced goods, as cheap raw materials and aggressive processes destroy the aroma. However, if you choose decaffeinated coffee beans from the specialty sector that have been gently refined in a drum roaster, you will hardly notice a difference in a blind test. Due to the slow roasting, the fine fruity, nutty, or chocolate notes unfold perfectly. The taste is primarily determined by the terroir of the growing country and the skill of the roastery, not by the absence of caffeine.
Which decaffeinated coffee is the best?
The answer depends on your preferences in preparation. If you want to know which decaffeinated coffee is the best for your kitchen, you should pay attention to the roasting profile and the origin:
| Coffee Type / Profile | Ideal for | Taste Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Roast (Medium-Dark) |
Portafilter, automatic machine, espresso | Strong, chocolatey, nutty, low in acidity |
| Light Roast (Light / Medium-Light) |
Hand filter, French Press, Cold Brew | Fruity, floral, fine and clear nuances |
| Single Origin (e.g. Colombia / Peru) |
Purists & coffee connoisseurs | Characterful, reflects the terroir |
| Premium Blends | The daily all-rounder in the office | Balanced, harmonious, very consistent |
Sleepless Nights or Bitter Taste? The Problem with Standard Coffee.
Many coffee lovers know the dilemma: those who want to avoid caffeine in the evening or are looking for an alternative for health reasons often resort to industrially produced coffee. However, the result in the cup is usually disappointing.
Industrial decaffeinated coffee often tastes flat, bitter, or burnt. In addition, looking at the label frequently leaves an uneasy feeling: Were chemical solvents used here? Do you really have to choose between a restful sleep and real coffee enjoyment?
We believe: No one should have to give up the complex aromas of an artisanally roasted coffee for a complaint-free enjoyment.
Why is Good Decaffeinated Coffee the Perfect Answer?
Our philosophy puts taste and your well-being first. We prove that the best decaffeinated coffee can taste just as multifaceted, full-bodied, and balanced as classic espresso or filter coffee.
The difference lies in the uncompromising focus on quality: We exclusively curate coffees that are gently freed from caffeine by water or natural spring carbon dioxide. Coupled with the artisanal drum roasting of our partner roasteries, a product is created that respects the beans and leaves pollutants completely out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Decaffeinated Coffee
Does decaffeinated coffee dehydrate the body?
No, decaffeinated coffee does not extract water from the body. The often assumed, strong diuretic effect of regular coffee is primarily triggered by caffeine. Since this has been almost completely removed from decaf products, a cup counts just as much toward the daily fluid balance as a glass of water.
Can you drink decaffeinated coffee in the evening before sleeping?
Yes, for the vast majority of people this is absolutely harmless. Since the residual caffeine content per cup is vanishingly small (about 1 to 3 mg compared to approx. 90 mg in normal coffee), the central nervous system is not stimulated. Those who react very sensitively to the smallest amounts should enjoy the coffee up to two hours before going to bed.
Why is decaffeinated coffee often more expensive than normal coffee?
The higher price is due to the additional production step. Before the green coffee beans can be gently roasted, they must undergo complex, usually multi-stage decaffeination processes (such as the CO2 process or the Swiss Water Process). These processes require specialized facilities, time, and strict quality controls.
Does decaffeinated coffee have the same healthy antioxidants as normal coffee?
Yes, the majority of the valuable antioxidants, polyphenols, and minerals (such as magnesium and potassium) remain in the bean during modern, gentle decaffeination processes. The positive properties of coffee on cell protection are therefore also present in the caffeine-free version.
What should you look out for when you want to buy decaffeinated coffee?
When buying, you should primarily look out for the decaffeination process and the origin of the beans. High-quality coffee is processed without chemical solvents. In addition, stating the country of origin (such as Colombia, Brazil, or Ethiopia) as well as the roaster guarantees a transparent supply chain and artisanal quality.
Why is it worth buying decaffeinated coffee in a 1kg bag?
The 1kg format offers the best ratio of freshness, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. It significantly reduces packaging waste compared to small portions and ensures that you always have a sufficient supply of your favorite coffee in the house. Thanks to modern aroma protection valves, the quality remains perfectly preserved for weeks.
Should you buy decaffeinated coffee as whole bean or ground?
That depends on your equipment. Those who own their own grinder or an automatic machine choose the whole bean to release the maximum aroma right before brewing. Those who value a quick and uncomplicated preparation buy perfectly coordinated, already ground coffee that is ready for immediate use.
Looking for smaller bags?
You can build your own box with a variety of coffees from your selected roaster.
