Decaffeinated coffee

Decaffeinated coffee – when is it considered decaffeinated?

In the European area, the following regulation applies to decaffeinated coffee: The coffee beans may not contain more than 0.1% caffeine.

Is decaffeinated coffee unhealthier than caffeinated coffee?

The current study situation (as of 2023) suggests that decaffeinated coffee is no more unhealthy than caffeinated coffee. What was particularly disturbing was the separation of the caffeine from the coffee beans. A separation process using chemical additives justifiably created a negative opinion. However, this has not been proven by studies. The cleaning and roasting that took place after the separation process freed the coffee beans almost completely of the separating agent. To be fair, it must be noted that a different result is possible due to inadequate cleaning by the manufacturer. Overall, we rely on the trust of the manufacturers. If you want to be sure that the decaffeinated coffee is free of harmful chemicals, you should pay attention to the separation process. The production of decaffeinated coffee beans using ethyl acetate is considered a natural process because this substance is also found in fruits and vegetables. The effort is a little more expensive, but is considered even safer.

Decaffeinated coffee vs. caffeinated coffee

Benefits of caffeine: Caffeine belongs to the group of alkaloids and is known as a psychoactive substance. In smaller doses, this stimulant has a stimulating effect and inhibits the feeling of tiredness. This invigorating mood is generally perceived as pleasant as long as a certain dose is not exceeded. The caffeine is absorbed quickly and completely by the body. This invigorating feeling is very popular to share with other people, which favors coffee as a social drink. It is the proverbial pipe of peace that is enjoyed together. Disadvantages of caffeine: People who are easily stressed and/or have hormonal fluctuations should be careful when consuming caffeine. Psychoactive substances can cause discomfort even with a slight overdose.

Disadvantages of decaffeinated coffee beans: If you assume that all release agents have been almost completely removed from the coffee beans, there still remains a significant disadvantage. Unfortunately, the decaffeination process also removes other, sometimes valuable, substances from the coffee beans, which causes a change in taste. However, this change in taste is hardly noticeable for most people and is therefore not a reason for rejection. Another disadvantage must be mentioned in fairness: The dichloromethane used to separate the caffeine from the coffee beans should be almost completely removed. The manufacturers are liable for this. Only minimal amounts of the substance may be contained in roasted coffee. The maximum dichloromethane content in roasted coffee must not exceed 2 mg/kg. Even if these small amounts are considered harmless, they are still contained in coffee. According to the WHO, studies show that this level of dichloromethane can be consumed safely.
