Roasted Coffee - Brazil - Decaf - Bremen, Germany - 1-6 lbs "Roasted upon Order" Decaffeinated coffee has become increasingly popular over the last couple of decades. The processing technique used on this Brazilian coffee proves it is possible to decaffeinate coffee and preserve the original flavor of the coffee. Preservation has a remarkable impact on cup quality. CR3 Kaffeeveredelung Hermsen in Bremen, Germany is aware of the demand for a good cup of decaf and delivers. They began decaffeinating coffee in 2013. This family business has been run for the last 80 years. Scroll down for details and more about this decaf. More about this decaf:In 1988 CR3 developed their own patent for Natural Carbon Dioxide Decaffeination. The raw coffee is soaked in filtered water causing it to swell. From there it is transferred to a large extractor vessel. Co2 is pumped in under highly pressurized conditions. This is at relatively low temperature and pressure. The liquid Co2 selectively targets the caffeine while keeping other compounds intact. The Co2 is in constant motion and carries the suspended caffeine away to a separating tank where it is cleaned and reused. Once the liquid has passed through fresh Co2 it is pumped through the vessel until caffeine residue is 0.08% or less. 0.1% is the minimum level to meet EU regulations for decaffeinated coffee. Interestingly, the extracted caffeine is further processed and sold to the food industry.CR3 has a minimum standard of 0.08% caffeine residue or less. The Co2 process is becoming increasingly popular with specialty roasters as this method preserves most of the aroma and taste components of the origins coffee. The Co2 process at CR3 takes approximately 4-5 days to decaffeinate depending on the cell structure and the caffeine of the coffee. The Co2 method is free of chemicals and is certified organic. Once the coffee has been decaffeinated it is dried back to the original 8-12% water content. It is then polished and sorted to produce some of the best sorted coffee you will ever find! The CR3 scale is extensive, currently they have 30 specialists analyzing 100,000 samples every year for caffeine and other compounds in coffee.

But if you do not have a grinder, here is a breakdown of the grind levels we offer:Coarse Coffee Grind: Use in a French Press or Percolator When brewing coffee in a French Press or Percolator, the coffee grounds are in contact with water for a relatively long period of time (2-4 minutes, depending on volume). Because of the longer brew cycle, a coarse coffee grind with larger granules is recommended.Medium Coffee Grind: Use in Regular Drip coffee machines or Flat-bottomed filter This coffee grind resembles sugar and is used primarily with vacuum and flat-bottom drip makers. It is the most versatile grind and suits most drip brewing methods. We recommend this grind for pour-overs with metal filters.Fine Coffee Grind: Use with drip and other filter brewing methods Not all drip coffee machines and filters are the same. Although a medium grind works with most drip coffee machines, it may be necessary to experiment with a grind that is a bit finer. A fine coffee grind will have a texture like cornmeal and is fine enough to hold and slow down the flow of water passing through the coffee as it sits in the paper filter. A fine grind can also be used with a Neapolitan flip-drip and most manual paper pour-overs.Espresso Coffee Grind: Use with espresso machines Grinding coffee for espresso is probably the most difficult to get right. The coffee grind needs to be fine enough to increase the pressure required to push the water through the filter and create a good crema. But if the grind is too fine, the ground coffee can block the coffee filter. Generally, espresso coffee grind resembles a mixture of powdered sugar and fine beach sand. Since each espresso machine is a bit different, you may have to experiment to get the coffee grind just right.Some of these grinds are subject to preference, which is why we recommend owning a grinder. Look to our blog page for ideas of what to use at home.Packaging and Shipping Roasted Coffee is packed in valved, food grade, Biotrē™ coffee bags to ensure freshness and superior quality. We use the Biotrē™ coffee bags because they are 60% (by weight) biodegradable, made from wood pulp, which is compostable. The other 40% of the bag is a polyethylene liner that has an additive, allowing the liner to break down within 5-10 years. (Biotrē™ 1.0: 60% compostable/60% renewable, not including the valve.) We do this because a standard plastic coffee bag can take up to one thousand years to decompose. So just remove the valve from the bag and compost.Domestic and most international shipments will ship via USPS or USPS Priority mail.How to Store your Coffee Roasted Coffee will last 2 weeks, before quality begin to degrade. We recommend only buying the amount of roasted coffee you can use in a 2-week period. Store at room temperature and out of sunlight.If you have any questions, feel free to contact us or visit us at RostHausCoffee.com.
