The Art & Science of SWISS WATER® Process
decaffeination
With time and temperature, the caffeine migrates out of the
green beans into the Green Coffee Extract (GCE). The water is
filtered, capturing and extracting the caffeine molecules. The
flavor and body of the coffee is protected by closely monitoring
the solids, caffeine levels and moisture in the coffee. The process

Once the decaffeinated beans are removed from the GCE, they are
then dried, finished, bagged and shipped - ready to be roasted by
premium and discriminating roasters.
A typical arabica bean after decaffeination is composed of:
