What Is the Swiss Water Decaf Process?

Developed in Switzerland, the Swiss Water Process decaffeinates coffee without chemical solvents while aiming to preserve its original character. Green beans are first soaked in water to create Green Coffee Extract (GCE), a solution containing the coffee’s soluble flavor compounds.

The GCE passes through activated carbon filters that capture caffeine. Fresh green beans are then soaked in the caffeine-free extract for 8–10 hours, allowing caffeine to migrate out while much of the coffee’s flavor remains. The extract is continually refreshed through filtration during the process.

This method removes 99.9% of the caffeine while retaining the coffee’s bright acidity, rich flavors, and complexity. The result is a satisfying decaf for those seeking to reduce caffeine without giving up a flavorful cup.
