The process, in plain terms

Water, temperature, time

The Swiss Water Process takes out 99.9% of the caffeine using only water, temperature and time. Nothing else goes in.

A method you can check

It is a certifiable process, which is why Olive Magazine made our coffee bags their number one pick in 2024, and BBC Countryfile named our decaf a best in 2025.

Proof, not adjectives

We would rather show you than tell you

You already read the label on the bread and the moisturiser. Coffee should be no different. Most decaf brands stay quiet about how the caffeine came out, because the honest answer is often a chemical solvent.

Ours is not. The Swiss Water Process uses only water, temperature and time, and it is certifiable, so you do not have to take our word for it. We would rather tell you the truth than tick a marketing box.

The coffee for the clean-eating kitchen

If you read the label on the oil, the yoghurt and the granola, you will read ours too. There is nothing on it to catch you out.

Just Swiss Water decaf: decaffeinated with water, temperature and time, no chemical solvents, and no caffeine to swerve after lunch. It earns its place next to the good greens and the cold-pressed oils, the coffee you can keep on the table without a second thought.

Questions

How is the caffeine actually removed?

With the Swiss Water Process: only water, temperature and time, no chemical solvents. It removes 99.9% of the caffeine. The full method is in our guide to the Swiss Water Process, and how it compares to chemical decaf.

Why not 100% caffeine-free?

A trace is always left. We would rather show you the numbers than round them off, so they live on the blog: how much caffeine is in a decaf.

Is "chemical-free" just marketing?

Fair question, and the reason we name the exact method instead of the adjective. The Swiss Water Process is certifiable, which is why third parties like Olive Magazine cite the method by name. A selection, with links, is in our decaf FAQ.
