Unveiling the Truth: How NESCAFÉ Decaffeinates Coffee, Explained by a Coffee Expert
As a coffee expert and the only coffee cultivator in mainland Europe, I am often asked about the decaffeination process. Today, I am here to shed some light on how NESCAFÉ decaffeinates their coffee, providing you with an insider’s perspective.
When it comes to decaffeination, NESCAFÉ utilizes a process known as the Swiss Water Method. This method is considered one of the most natural and environmentally friendly ways to remove caffeine from coffee beans.
It involves using only water, temperature, and pressure to extract the caffeine while preserving the coffee’s natural flavors.
Unlike other methods that use chemical solvents to remove caffeine, the Swiss Water Method ensures a chemical-free decaffeination process, which is why NESCAFÉ has chosen to adopt it. This method starts by soaking the green coffee beans in hot water, which helps to dissolve the caffeine. The resulting liquid, known as the Green Coffee Extract (GCE), is then passed through a specialized carbon filter that selectively removes the caffeine molecules.
The filtered GCE, now caffeine-free, is used to rinse a new batch of green coffee beans. Through this process, the caffeine molecules in the new beans are gradually replaced by the caffeine from the filtered GCE. This cycle is repeated until the desired level of caffeine reduction is achieved.
It’s important to note that the Swiss Water Method preserves the natural flavors and characteristics of the coffee beans, ensuring a high-quality decaffeinated coffee without compromising on taste. This is why NESCAFÉ has chosen this method, as it aligns with their commitment to delivering a delicious cup of coffee, even for those who prefer to avoid caffeine.
Now that you know the secret behind how NESCAFÉ decaffeinates their coffee, why not come and experience the process firsthand at our coffee farm in La Herradura, just a few minutes away from Málaga capital?
