Caffeine wash

The Caffeine wash process involves steaming coffee beans to open their pores and then washing them for about ten hours with Ethyl Acetate, a compound naturally found in fruit. This method allows the caffeine to adhere to the Ethyl Acetate, which is then separated from the beans, effectively decaffeinating them. The process is primarily used by coffee producers aiming to offer decaffeinated coffee options to consumers who prefer or require lower caffeine intake.
