So look for coffee that’s been decaf’d via the Swiss water method:
But this doesn’t mean all decaf coffee will be gone forever. There are other ways to decaffeinate the beverage, mainly using what’s called the Swiss Water method, which soaks green coffee beans in water, allowing caffeine to naturally seep out over the course of several hours.
Thankfully the decaf I use (instant) apparently is decaffeinated via a water process … it’s Mount Hagen brand & is also organic, fair trade (haven’t seen brewed version tho…)
I appreciate the heads up though, @jym626 - I’m throwing out all my cheaper ‘back up’ decaf that I’ve kept around. And will no longer get my occasional decaf from Dunkin!!
I hope people don’t mind I get into the decaf coffee story a bit more due to conflicting info about what brands use methylene chloride, what not.
In the WBUR article, it said Dunkin’s and Starbucks did.
The article @jym626 posted earlier and this article from USA Today said both companies did not.
All three articles cited the same source, the Clean Label Project.
I think I will go out and get decaf coffee at Dunkin’s this morning.
