Swiss Water

Also known as Swiss Water Process · SWP · proceso Swiss Water

What it is and what sets it apart: Differs from EA and CO₂: green coffee extract + carbon removes caffeine while keeping soluble solids.

How it is done: Soak greens → GCE → carbon bed traps caffeine → rehydrate/dry beans.

Flavours and cup benefits: Often keeps sweetness and clarity better than cheap solvent decafs. “Chemical-free” claim.

Technical notes: Still industrial—base lot matters. Label: Swiss Water® Process.

Common mistakes: Do not think Swiss Water means zero cup impact. Do not confuse with Mountain Water (Mexico).
