Ethyl Acetate / Sugarcane Decaffeination Process
The sugarcane decaf or ethyl acetate (EA) process is a natural and innovative method for decaffeinating coffee. It begins by soaking green coffee beans in water to swell them and open their pores. The beans are then exposed to ethyl acetate, a naturally occurring compound derived from fermented sugarcane, which binds to the caffeine and extracts it. The beans are rinsed thoroughly to remove any residual EA, then dried to their original moisture level. This method preserves the coffee's unique flavours and characteristics while offering a clean, chemical-free decaffeination approach.
Thank you so much for roasting good decaf! I’ve been struggling to find fun, fruity and interesting decaf—even decent stuff isn’t exciting—but this fits the brief! And a decent price. It works better in milk. The best recipe we’ve found so far is 17in, 35out, 29 seconds.
