We believe these are safe and effective methods compared to the other options because of their use of natural compounds.Īlmost every process for decaffeination consists of soaking the beans in water to dissolve the caffeine, extracting the caffeine with either a solvent or activated carbon, and then re-soaking the coffee beans in the decaffeinated water to re-absorb the flavor compounds that were lost in the initial extraction. While, all three methods are FDA approved, Old City Coffee only carries Swiss Water and CO2 decaf varieties.
During any of the decaffeinating processes, the molecular composition of the bean is altered, thus resulting in a darker bean. Three techniques are used to decaffeinate coffee, methylene chloride, Swiss Water and carbon dioxide. While coffee itself has been around for centuries, decaf has only existed for the last 100 years. Then there is the myth that even decaf has some caffeine. For starters, there are a few different methods for decaffeination, each with pros and cons. Others may find it shrouded in some mystery, thinking “how do they even get the caffeine out?” or “doesn’t decaf taste bad?”.
What to do? Well, there is always decaf, right? Some serious drinkers find decaf taboo. We know how it feels, because we are pretty serious coffee nuts as you would imagine.
But even the most extreme coffee aficionados have to take it easy once the sun starts getting low.
COFFEE BUZZ FREE FULL
I want to give back the opportunity to enjoy daily cup (s) of joe to trying to conceive, pregnant and breastfeeding mums by offering a range of coffee designed specifically for them: a range that is fair trade, with all bad acids removed for those that are breastfeeding (as acidic foods are known to wreak havoc on some breastfeeding babies), is gentle on pregnant stomachs that are already in a sensitive state, and comes in a range of full strength, half strength or decaf options so that we as pregnant women can decide which cup of coffee is right for us.For coffee lovers, nothing beats the energizing buzz and delicious flavors of freshly roasted and brewed Arabica. This realisation created a burning desire to eliminate the guilt and worry we may feel while consuming coffee by sourcing and roasting specialty coffee made specifically for the unique needs of mums. What I realised was that drinking coffee during these important life moments is influenced as much by internal emotion and guilt as it is by actual scientific data. And on the off chance that I reach for the on switch of my coffee machine for a second time during the day, exhausted and desperate for not only the small caffeine hit, but also the relaxing ritual of sitting down with a hot cup of coffee that I missed from pre-pregnancy days, the overwhelming sense of guilt that I felt was enough to make me tip my freshly brewed cup down the sink. Chasing after my one year old son while pregnant with my second child only compounded my longing for a second (or third, or fourth.) cup of coffee to keep me going throughout the day. As pregnant women, not only do we miss out on what, for many of us, is a longstanding caffeine ritual that starts the day and keeps us going throughout, but there is also a huge amount of guilt associated with caffeine intake while pregnant and breastfeeding. After becoming pregnant with my second child, I found myself struggling with the limitations of the one cup of coffee that is recommended per day for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Like any expecting mum who is also a huge coffee lover, I researched the effect of caffeine on the body while trying to conceive, and subsequently on my baby during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
