As a true blue coffee lover, have you been sobbing decaf? There are rumors circulating that are good and bad about decaf coffee. Bad ones say not it contain harmful chemical, and there are ones that say there are coffee plants that naturally grow decaffeinated. Truth is, when you get the know-how of decaffeination process, you can then be able to make an educate decision in choosing decaf beans that are not only delectable, but they can be beneficial to the health as well.

One thing you should always make sure of so as to have a premium decaf cup of coffee is to have your beans always freshly roasted. You could come across a lot of websites that give decaf options of their gourmet beans that they usually freshly roast, hence making this the best way to go about getting your beans. Not to mention, buying decaf beans at the grocery store would mean that you are buying beans that have been sitting on the shelves for ages. The main reason behind this is because less attention has been given to decaf.

The process used in decaffeinating green coffee beans involves submerging them in water. This makes them swell, and they are usually soaked in a kind of solvent that could be either chemical or water. It will then be left to sit and make its way into the coffee beans, then it evaporates so as the green beans to dry out. This is by far the most effective in removing caffeine from coffee beans, but still seeing to it that it maintains its flavor.

Whenever you come across bag of coffee beans that have labels claiming they are naturally caffeinated, just know that they usually use ethyl acetate as a solvent that could be naturally found in vegetables and fruits, and Java, too.

It is even said that there is a new coffee plant that could potentially produce coffee with zero or little caffeine, which comes from Cameron. This is a tremendous way to grow specific plant varieties that have their own natural flavors that need not go through a decaffeination process, but it could have about 30% caffeine remaining. Is it legit? I don’t know. Let’s wait and see for ourselves.

Decaf Coffee

“Coffee without caffeine is like chocolate without chocolate.” You think?

Coffee is everybody’s pick-me-upper in the morning. The caffeine it contains has the kick we all root for. However, there are still people who aren’t huge fans of caffeine because of the side effects like palpitation. They don’t mind it now, though, since they can still have the full flavor of coffee minus the bothering side effects of caffeine. Decaffeinated coffee is their go-to.

Caffeine has a great impact on the nervous system. The energy it gives us helps us in our daily tasks. It can penetrate into the bloodstream only temporarily since it can be excreted. In addition to these, it can help relieve headache, it adds up to the effectiveness of analgesics and majority of migraine medications have it as an ingredient.

While the stimulatory effect it has is the main thing people rave about coffee, it can also be the thing that drives some people away. Caffeine, especially in massive amounts, can cause major tension and anxiety and can also increase the production of urine and gastric acid.

Caffeinated drinks before bedtime can also bring about insomnia, affecting out performance the day after. Arrhythmia is another serious thing it can cause, especially to those who are diagnosed with heart ailments. When you cling to caffeine and instantly rid yourself of it, you could be suffering from withdrawal symptoms which include depression and fatigue.

Decaffeination is done through a chemical process. Say, a coffee bean is run through water or a steam to make it swell. Caffeine will be extracted using water or any solvent after that. And then, the beans are washed to get rid of the solvents, then dried. It can then be roasted.

The process drastically lessens the amount of caffeine in a product without having to remove the fullness of the flavor. By then, caffeine-sensitive people can tolerate it due to it caffeine content being very little already. It could still have stimulating effects but they will be very minimal.

All the coffee lovers today can enjoy their coffee, be it the strong caffeinated version or the mild and decaffeinated, but the flavor is always there.
