Decaf coffee doesn’t always have the best reputation. Many coffee lovers have tried it and been disappointed by its taste. But what if you could enjoy a delicious cup of coffee without the caffeine?
At 80plus, we believe decaf can be just as enjoyable as regular coffee. The secret lies in the quality of the beans and the decaffeination process.
Why does decaf coffee sometimes taste different?
The decaffeination process can influence the natural flavours and aromas of coffee. Depending on the method used, some of its original characteristics may be altered.
That’s why choosing the right process is important to preserve the coffee’s flavour while removing the caffeine.
What is the Sugar Cane EA Process?
The Sugar Cane EA Process is a decaffeination method that uses ethyl acetate (EA), a compound derived from the fermentation of sugarcane, to extract caffeine from green coffee beans.
First, the green coffee beans are steamed in a low-pressure environment. This opens their pores, making caffeine extraction easier.
Our Colombia Sugar Cane Decaf comes from the Caldas region of Colombia.

A decaffeinated coffee with its own character, perfect for enjoying a flavourful cup at any time of day.
