Our signature decaffeinated coffee, this smooth water processed decaf coffee blend utilizes our highest-grade specialty decaf beans which are naturally decaffeinated via the Swiss Water® Process. This ensures a full-bodied flavor without the chemical aftertaste common to most decaf coffees, and cuts the caffeine without sacrificing any flavor. Although more costly than alternative procedures, this natural decaf process ensures the same quality, taste, and aroma that you expect from fully-caffeinated Verena Street varieties. Read more about our decaffeination process in our blog.
We consistently receive phenomenal feedback about this Swiss Water® decaf coffee – many people have found it to be even more flavorful than some fully-caffeinated coffees they have tried prior to discovering the freshness and aroma of Verena Street®.

The Swiss Water® Process is similar to the Mountain Water Process, in that 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- This method of decaffeination is mostly used with organic coffee beans.

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.
Are you tired of bitter, boring coffee?

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.
Here's the truth: you shouldn't have to settle. Not in coffee, not in life
A cup that's smooth, rich, full of depth and character - that makes you excited to wake up again.
Imagine going to bed, actually looking forward to the next morning because something special is waiting for you.
A reminder that coffee should be more than just a habit. That feeling you miss? It's not gone forever. You just haven't met the right coffee yet.

Sunday Drive™
Born in Dubuque, Iowa
The Sunday drive has been a common pastime for generations of Americans, becoming particularly popular in the 1920s when automobiles began being used for them. Rather than traveling to work or running errands, the Sunday drive is all about leisure with no urgency and no particular destination.
A tribute to nostalgia and good times past
Verena Street® Story
Verena Street® Coffee is named after the neighborhood where we grew up in the Mississippi River valleys of Dubuque, Iowa. The original Verena Street was removed years ago for highway expansion but now lives on as the namesake of our craft roasted coffee. Although we can no longer walk down Verena Street, it is a place we can once again call home.
