Coffee beans are washed in the solvent until the caffeine is extracted, and then the solvent is removed.

Caffeine can also be removed using carbon dioxide or a charcoal filter. A method known as the Swiss water process.

The beans are decaffeinated before they’re roasted and ground. Apart from the caffeine content, the nutritional value of decaf coffee should be almost identical to that of regular coffee.

However, depending on the method used, the taste and smell may become slightly milder, and the color may change.

This can make decaf more pleasing to those who are sensitive to the bitter taste and smell of regular coffee.
