Coffee drinkers deserve a choice in how their coffee is decaffeinated.
Swiss Water® Process
The Swiss Water® Process is a sustainable, transparent decaffeination method using water and the natural compounds in green coffee to gently remove caffeine—without leaving the residue chemical solvents do. It preserves the unique origin flavors, taste, and characteristics of the bean, resulting in amazing coffee without caffeine.
A commitment to superior quality and a sustainable process.
Naturally Decaffeinated
Swiss Water is unique among coffee decaffeination companies—and is the only one to be exclusively focused on a chemical-free method. Most decaffeinated coffee is processed using chemical solvents. These processes impart chemical residues that can alter the taste of the coffee, and are ultimately consumed into the body, even if only in small amounts.
The chemical-free choice for coffee lovers.
Uncompromised Taste
Swiss Water believes you should have a choice that is entirely free of added chemical residuals, and one which results in an amazing cup of decaf— because taking control of your caffeine (or chemical) intake should never be a compromise in taste—or values.
Crafting Amazing Coffee Without Caffeine
The process of decaffeination does not use chemicals of any kind to remove the caffeine from the coffee beans. The Swiss Water® Process relies instead on solubility and osmosis. This process creates a coffee bean using the three elements of water, temperature and time to create a coffee that is 99.9% caffeine-free.
Extracting Caffeine, Preserving Flavor
It starts with soaking a batch of green coffee beans in hot water to dissolve the caffeine. The water is removed from the beans and passed through an activated charcoal filter which only allows the capture of the caffeine molecules. The important oil and flavor molecules get to stay in the water.
Flavor Retention & Repeat Decaffeination
This water is kept in a tank and the original beans are thrown away. This flavorful caffeine-free water is reused to remove caffeine from a new batch of green beans. The process starts again with the soaking of a new batch of beans in the caffeine-free flavorful water only allowing the dissolving of the caffeine in the beans while not losing all the important flavors.

We source only high-quality, sustainably grown coffee because if you start with a bad bean, you'll never get a good cup. Bean quality is the foundation of every roast we create.
Each batch is roasted to a specific level to highlight its unique character and derive the best possible flavor and aroma. Our lightest roasts are never too light, acidic or sour tasting, while our darkest roasts are never too burnt, smoky or bitter tasting.
From the moment the beans leave the roaster, the clock is ticking. We package and distribute them immediately to lock in peak flavor and aroma, ensuring your coffee arrives as fresh as the day it was roasted.

Many prefer Swiss Water® Decaf since no chemical solvents are used, preserving purity and flavor.
