If you’re someone who loves the flavor of coffee but wants to skip the caffeine buzz, you’ve probably come across a variety of decaf options. But not all decaf is created equal — and that’s where the Swiss Water® Process comes in.
This gentle, chemical-free method of decaffeination is changing the way people think about decaf. Here's what you should know.
The Swiss Water Process is a 100% chemical-free method used to decaffeinate coffee beans. Unlike traditional decaf methods that rely on solvents like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, the Swiss Water Process uses only water, temperature, and time to remove caffeine — while keeping the coffee’s original flavor profile intact.
It all starts with green (unroasted) coffee beans. The beans are soaked in pure water to create what’s called Green Coffee Extract (GCE) — a solution rich in the soluble compounds that give coffee its flavor, minus the caffeine. Then, fresh batches of green beans are introduced to this solution. Because of the caffeine imbalance, caffeine naturally migrates out of the beans and into the GCE, while the flavor compounds stay put.
The result? Coffee that’s 99.9% caffeine-free and still full of taste.
1. It’s Chemical-Free.
The biggest benefit is peace of mind. You’re not putting any synthetic solvents into your body — just pure, water-processed coffee.
2. It Preserves Flavor.
Because it doesn’t strip the beans of their essential oils or flavor compounds, Swiss Water Process decaf retains the rich, complex taste that specialty coffee lovers appreciate.
3. It’s Environmentally Friendly.
This process uses clean water and is done in a facility with certified organic and kosher credentials. It’s one of the most sustainable decaf methods out there.
4. It’s Perfect for Any Time of Day.
Whether you're avoiding caffeine for health reasons or just want to enjoy a cup in the evening, Swiss Water decaf lets you sip without sacrifice.
At MIraflores Coffee Co, we believe decaf should be just as satisfying as any other roast. That’s why we only use Swiss Water Process beans for our decaf offerings. It’s part of our promise to bring you quality, transparency, and flavor — in every cup.
