Decaf, Done Right

Patrick Neal

At Common Good Coffee, we take pride in offering an exceptional decaf, sourced from Colombia. We know decaf often gets a bad reputation, but we’re here to change that by choosing the best decaffeination method to preserve flavor and quality.

There are three primary ways to remove caffeine from coffee:

  1. Chemical Process – This method uses food-safe chemicals to extract caffeine. While effective, it often leaves behind an artificial aftertaste.

  2. Swiss Water Process – A water-based method that removes caffeine without chemicals, but can strip away some of the coffee’s natural flavors, resulting in a more muted taste.

  3. Sugar Cane Process (Our Choice!) – This method uses naturally derived ethyl acetate from sugar cane to remove caffeine while maintaining the coffee’s full flavor profile. It enhances the sweetness and preserves the integrity of the beans, ensuring a delicious, well-rounded cup.

We firmly believe the sugar cane process is the best way to decaffeinate coffee because it doesn’t compromise taste. While some methods leave coffee tasting flat or artificial, this approach keeps the vibrant flavors intact—so you can enjoy a decaf that’s just as rich and complex as a fully caffeinated cup.

If you’re looking for a decaf that actually tastes like great coffee, you’ve found it. Give it a try and taste the difference!
