True coffee lovers would enjoy a cup of coffee every day at any time. But if you want to reduce your caffeine intake a little, drinking decaffeinated coffee is an option. Decaffeinated coffee does contain some caffeine, but at least 97 percent less than regular coffee. In the EU, coffee is considered decaffeinated if it contains less than 0.1% caffeine in roasted form.
Decaf is the abbreviation of decaffeinated. Decaffeination is a special process in which almost all the caffeine is removed from the beans before roasting. The technique was probably discovered purely by chance when a German coffee trader, named Ludwig Roselius, discovered damage to his coffee beans due to salty seawater.

Decaf coffee contains a very small amount of caffeine (max 0.1 % in roasted coffee). A cup of decaffeinated coffee could contain about 2-7 milligrams of caffeine on average, this amount depends on the respective brewing method, intensity, cup size and type of coffee. In comparison, the amount of caffeine in regular coffee is between 60 and 135 milligrams per 125 millilitres. Here again, the type of coffee and brewing method is decisive. According to European legislation, decaffeinated coffee must contain 0.1 percent or less caffeine if it is roasted coffee. Soluble coffee may contain a maximum of 0.3 percent caffeine.
Coffee beans can be decaffeinated using various methods. The process of decaffeination takes place before the coffee is roasted. In all stages of the process, the green coffee bean is safely deprived of its caffeine, while preserving the natural taste and aroma of the coffee as much as possible. A number of standard procedures can involve:
All methods are completely safe and are subject to strict quality and safety standards, to offer you decaf coffee of the highest quality.
No. Both caffeine-free and caffeine-containing coffee are classified as harmless to the consumer. They can be enjoyed without reservation as part of a healthy diet and a vital lifestyle. Decaffeinated coffee is chosen for various reasons. Some consumers sleep better or feel generally better after limiting their caffeine consumption. Decaffeinated varieties are a suitable choice for those who love the aroma of coffee, but at the same time do not wish to experience the mild stimulant effects of caffeine. The decaffeination process has been thoroughly tested and subjected to strict regulations.
