Choosing The Right Coffee

Brewing Better Decaf: A Guide to Uncompromised Flavour

For a long time, decaf coffee was treated as an afterthought. We do things differently. We source epic, traceable lots from good people and rely on natural, chemical-free processing methods to gently remove caffeine while preserving the bean's organic structure. The result is a clean, crisp, and smooth brew that stands up to any caffeinated counterpart.

Does decaf coffee still contain caffeine?

By industry standards, our specialty decaf coffee has 99.9% of its caffeine removed. A standard 250ml brewed cup contains roughly 2 to 5 milligrams of caffeine, compared to the 95 to 120 milligrams you would extract from a regular caffeinated brew.

Understanding Our Decaffeination Method

We strictly avoid harsh chemical solvents, opting instead for a natural extraction method that maintains the integrity of the origin's flavour profile. For our beans, we exclusively use the Sugar Cane (Ethyl Acetate) Process. By utilizing a naturally derived compound from fermented sugar cane, we gently wash away the caffeine. The result is an epic, tasty brew that actually enhances the coffee's natural sweetness without leaving any chemical residue.

Single Origin Decaf Coffee FAQ

Yes. Decaf beans have a more porous cellular structure, meaning water flows through them faster. We recommend adjusting your grinder slightly finer to maintain your target extraction time, especially when pulling a Short Black or espresso base.

Decaf beans degas and age faster than regular beans due to the processing methods used at origin. For the most vibrant flavour, we recommend brewing them between 7 and 21 days post-roast, and always storing them in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.

Decaffeination alters the cellular structure of the coffee seed. Because the beans undergo cycles of soaking and drying, they become more porous and brittle than regular green coffee. This physical change directly impacts how the coffee reacts in your grinder and your brewing gear.

  • Grind Finer for Espresso: The porous nature of decaf offers less resistance to water. To maintain a standard 25 to 30-second extraction time at 9 bars of atmospheric pressure, you will need to adjust your grinder to a slightly finer setting compared to your standard beans.
  • Optimal Brewing Temperatures: For filter setups like a V60 or batch brewer, target a water temperature between 92°C and 94°C. Because decaf extracts highly efficiently, using boiling water can over-extract the grounds, leading to bitterness. A slightly lower temperature highlights sweet notes like fudge brownie and roasted hazelnut.
  • Degassing Rates: Decaf coffees degas up to 30% faster post-roast. They hit their optimal brewing window sooner, usually around 7 to 14 days after the roast date.
