So many people have the wrong opinion about decaffeinated coffee: That it's a joke, that it's horrible tasting, why bother etc.
Well, I'm here to help you change your mind about it and view it the same as you would any high-quality coffee bean - just without one of the complex compounds: Caffeine!
There are so many complex chemical compounds in coffee (about 1500+) and a lot of them have great health benefits that help fight off diseases such as: Cancer, Type 2 Diabetes, Parkinsons, Rheumatism and many more.
So, with the global pandemic we're experiencing right now, we're drinking so much more coffee but we don't want to be up all night either, so decaf has a real place here because it tastes amazing (when made correctly) and it also comes with all the other health benefits.

Fantastic to hear you can enjoy a coffee still without caffeine. I don't understand why some people don't seem to get this. They say decaf is a joke and why bother etc. Well, this is just one reason for decaf, not everyone reacts well to caffeine but still wants to enjoy a nice hot coffee each morning. Thank you for sharing! 🙌🥰🤗

Same here with anxiety. Strangeley, decaf still gives me palpitations sometimes. I wonder if it's interacting with lyrica, or it's my empty stomach in the morning, or just placebo... 🤷‍♂️

I agree, with bad anxiety. I used to drink a regular coffee, but few years ago I started to suffer with anxiety and when I was drinking regular coffee it made me really uneasy and tense all day. Now I switched to decaf so I can enjoy a cup of coffee and still relax.

I'm old enough to remember the reactions to alcohol free beer. There were perhaps even more jokes about that. I couldn't care less if people joke about defac because I think it's a wonderful invention. I was forced to stop regular coffee over a year ago as it began to play havoc with my stomach. I'm OK with tea, but it just didn't satisfy like coffee. I missed it so much I would dream about it. I stopped using tobacco 8 years ago, but I fell back on ecigs which I still use and enjoy without the toxicity of actual cigarettes. Now I've fell back on defac only a month ago. Don't know why it took this long to try it. Anyway, I love it. That wonderful incomparable taste without the anxiety and heartburn, nausea etc. Thanks for very informative video.

The foam on that latte was incredibly stable. I really enjoy coffee, but I also enjoy being able to sleep, and I think limiting intake of addictive substances is always good, so decaf after my first drink in the morning. I'd love to see a wider variety of decaf available, but from what I've observed from behind the counter, stores stocking that much decaf is just not going to be a solid business decision unless people's perception of coffee and decaf changes a lot.

@Rydecoffeecoach Жыл бұрын

Yep absolutely true. The perception needs to change first then the varieties will be boundless. You can actually take any single or blend and make it a decaf which I think is amazing. I hope to make my Il Caramello blend (yummy malts and caramels) and make it a decaf. People love it!

While generally interesting, there are a couple of things wrong with your video. The way you describe the Swiss Water Process (SWP) is quite wrong, I suggest you read up on it so you know what you're selling 😏. It's not super environmentally friendly either. - You generally need double the amount of beans, since half of them go to waste in the first part of the process (!). - It uses *a lot* of water. - There are not many SWP plants around the world, the main one is in Vancouver. So huge amounts of coffee beans need to make a large detour via Vancouver. - The caffeine which is removed in the SWP cannot be recovered and sold for other purposes to recover costs. Also, most of your infographics suggest that decaffeination works in roasted beans, which of course it doesn't, it's done with green beans. And the background music, geez... 🤕 What you are absolutely right about is that decaf coffee can taste great 👍, it's just harder to find a good one compared to regular beans. And good decaf will always be more expensive than good, regular coffee.

Coffee is great in small quantities. If you have coffee a few times a week its more efficient than more. Your body builds up a tolerance to it which requires you to need more with each dose. If you allow a gap between each day you drink it (or more if possible) youll be a cheap coffee date❤ same as with alcohol

I don't really understand why there should be a joke about decaf. I love coffee - the smell, taste & the various flavors you can create from it. I drink more than 6 cups a day. The first time I tasted it was when I was 5 yrs old, it was instant Nescafe classic. Instant coffee was the only thing available at that time in my place (that was the '70s) But, the smell of it early in the morning was heaven to me, it was my "wake me up". So, I had to sneak drinking it (i was of course prohibited from drinking coffee at that age). Now, at my age, too much caffeine can probably give me a stroke. I still can't stop drinking more than a cup of regular coffee. But, decaf has been such a "godsend" to me. I can still enjoy the smell & taste of coffee all day/night without shaking & palpitations. I am not a coffee connoisseur, I just love coffee. So, hopefully, there will be more better decaf coffee in the future for those who love and enjoy coffee but whose caffeine intake is limited or prohibited.

@Rydecoffeecoach Жыл бұрын

Absolutely right! It shouldn't be a joke. I guess caffeine drinkers forget that a lot of people are unable to tolerate caffeine but still want to enjoy the other qualities of coffee. For so long consumers have equated coffee with caffeine, I hope to raise their awareness that it's only 2-4% and that it's a drink everyone around the world should be able to enjoy. 👌 Thanks for your comment.
