How Decaf Coffee Is Made

If you ’ve ever wondered how it ’s possible to make decaf coffee tree — which you could buy in whole - bean shape — when the caffein is inside the damned bean , then you ’re not alone . as luck would have it , there is an answer , and it ’s in this video .

In the first of what promises to be a marvelous new series , Mental Floss discusses decaf . First , it ’s worth noting that very little decaf deep brown is truly stimulating - free : most cups will still have a few milligrams of it lurking in the loving cup . But in price of getting it out ? That ’s a line of work for resolvent — in the beginning benzol and then later , more safely , C dioxide . If you do n’t like the sound of that then , huh , why not , say , just drink a proper cup of coffee berry ? [ Mental Floss ]
