Pure taste. No added chemical solvents. Just water, time, temperature, and meticulous craft. Here’s why The Chosen Bean proudly uses Swiss Water®—and nothing else—for our decaf coffees.
Swiss Water® begins by creating a green coffee extract (GCE)—essentially water that’s already holding natural coffee flavor compounds (but no caffeine). This lets caffeine move out of the beans without pulling flavor along with it.
Green coffee rests in this GCE. Caffeine migrates out of the beans to balance concentrations—no added chemical solvents needed.
The GCE passes through specialized carbon filters that trap caffeine molecules. The flavorful GCE returns to the tank; the process repeats until beans are 99.9% caffeine-free.
Beans are dried and tested, ready for roasting—now decaffeinated while preserving the origin character you love.
We source specialty-grade Arabicas for nuance and sweetness. Swiss Water® preserves those intrinsic flavors, so your cup still tastes like its origin—not like the process.
We’re committed to integrity—from farm relationships to roasting. A method that uses no added chemical solvents fits our quality promises and your expectations.
You should know exactly how your decaf is made. Swiss Water® is a clearly defined, repeatable process with rigorous controls.
Batch after batch, we get reliable extraction and a clean, balanced profile—ideal for drip, espresso, and cold brew.
| Aspect | Swiss Water® | Typical Solvent Methods* |
|---|---|---|
| How Caffeine Is Removed | Water + carbon filtration (no added chemical solvents) | Uses added chemical solvents to bind/remove caffeine |
| Flavor Integrity | Designed to protect origin character and aromatics | May risk altering flavor balance depending on method |
| Alignment with Our Standards | Matches our purity, transparency, and quality goals | Does not meet our brand’s decaf criteria |
| What You Taste | Clean, sweet, origin-forward | Varies by method and execution |
*Examples include ethyl acetate (EA) or methylene chloride–based processes.
Look for chocolate, caramel, nutty tones, or fruit/floral notes—depending on origin—without harshness.
Brews beautifully as drip, espresso, and especially cold brew for ultra-smooth sipping.
Enjoy a delicious cup day or night—great for caffeine-sensitive coffee lovers.
