Why We Choose Swiss Water Decaf Processing at French Settlement Roasting Co.

At French Settlement Roasting Co., we take pride in every cup of coffee we offer, and that includes our decaf options. Decaf coffee has often gotten a bad rap for lacking flavor, but not when it’s done right. That’s why we exclusively use the Swiss Water Process for our decaf beans. But what exactly is the Swiss Water Process, and why do we swear by it? Let’s dive into the details.

What Is the Swiss Water Process?

The Swiss Water Process is a method used to decaffeinate coffee beans without the use of harsh chemicals. It was first developed in Switzerland in the 1930s, hence the name. Unlike other decaffeination methods that rely on chemical solvents like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, the Swiss Water Process is entirely natural. It uses nothing but water, temperature, and time to remove 99.9% of the caffeine from coffee beans while preserving the beans’ natural flavors.

How It Works:

1. Soaking the Beans: The process starts by soaking high-quality, green (unroasted) coffee beans in hot water. This extracts the caffeine, along with many of the beans’ flavors and oils.
2. Filtering the Water: The water, now full of caffeine and coffee flavor compounds, is passed through a special activated charcoal filter. This filter captures only the caffeine molecules, allowing the flavorful components to remain in the water.
3. Reusing the Flavor-Rich Water: The flavor-rich, caffeine-free water (known as Green Coffee Extract) is then used to soak a new batch of green coffee beans. Since the water is already saturated with coffee flavor, it doesn’t extract any more flavor from the beans—just the caffeine.
4. Repeat Process: This soaking and filtering process is repeated until the beans are 99.9% caffeine-free.

The end result? Decaffeinated coffee beans that retain their original flavor profile, minus the caffeine.

You might be wondering, with so many decaf processes out there, why do we stick with Swiss Water? Here’s why:

1. Pure and Chemical-Free:

At French Settlement Roasting Co., we believe that coffee should be as natural as possible. The Swiss Water Process doesn’t involve any chemicals, so you can enjoy your coffee knowing it’s free from any potentially harmful residues.

As a veteran-owned company, we hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we do. We want our customers to have the best coffee experience possible, and that means no shortcuts. The Swiss Water Process aligns with our values of quality, integrity, and respect for our customers’ health.

4. Environmentally Friendly:

The Swiss Water Process is not just good for you—it’s good for the planet. The process uses a closed-loop system, meaning the water and energy used are constantly recycled, minimizing waste and environmental impact.
