Roaster's Notes

You may be wondering why Decaf coffees are so expensive.
Well, there's a good reason, and it has to do with double shipping and processing before it's even roasted.
Swiss Water is a patented caffeine removal process without dangerous or harsh chemicals.
There is also the Mountain Water process that achieves the same outcome - removing most of the caffeine without the use of chemicals.
The Swiss Water Decaf company employ some of the world's best raw coffee buyers who travel the globe evaluating and selecting grades of coffee.
It is a widely held belief among consumers that Decaf necessitates inferior quality, but this is a misconception.
The opposite is true: Decaf coffees are some of the best grades.
With the Swiss Water Process, all raw coffee ships by sea from coffee farms around the globe to a central facility in Canada for processing.
The end product is a raw coffee with around 99% of the caffeine removed.
Raw Decaf coffee (unroasted) travels from Canada to country importers, selling Swiss Water Decaf to local or domestic coffee companies.
Local coffee companies purchase raw Decaf coffees to roast as they deem suitable for their supply levels.
Be mindful of Shelf Life.
In our long experience with Decaf coffees, we know the shelf life of Decaf is shorter than regular coffees.
It's not just our roasted Decafs but a universal phenomenon across all Decafs, regardless of whether it is EA, Sugar Cane, Swiss Water or Mountain Water.
How much shorter - nobody can ever say. It's about a third.
Of course, it depends upon many constantly changing factors, such as ambient temperature.
The brew or extraction method also makes a difference.
Espresso is more sensitive to freshness and vitality than long-contact brews such as Plunger.
If you use Decaf for espresso, we suggest buying enough for 60 days, perhaps a shorter period in the heat of summer.
Naturally, the quality of taste depends upon individual preferences - some people are fussy, others not. It's just a guide, not a fixed rule.
We chose the Colombian lots because of the sweet-tasting flavour and cup complexity.

By far the best-tasting Decaf in Australia. Put it to the test.

Description

Only the best will do.

We have roasted the highest quality Swiss Water Decaf coffee beans for over 17 years.

Often, we wonder why we are roasting so much Decaf every day compared to many other coffee companies. Most other brands roast decaf maybe once a week or fortnight.

Our Decaf flies out the door so fast that we can barely keep up.

It's been that way for a long time. We do a disproportionate volume of Decaf coffee beans, perhaps the most in Australia. It must be because of the quality.

Our Freshly Roasted Decaf Coffee Beans

You can trust the supreme freshness of our roasted Swiss Water decaf coffees because we roast the coffee daily.

Did you know that roasted decaf coffees do not last as long as traditional coffees? That means roasted Decaf will only remain at peak condition for about 60% of the time compared to conventional coffees.

Our customers have described our Swiss Water decaf coffee beans as "tasting better than real coffee but without caffeine".

How the Decaf is sold and packaged

We only sell our Swiss Water Colombian Decaf in the 500g pack size. Our packaging systems for all Decaf coffees are expressly set up for 500g bags only so that we can efficiently service the daily volume.

myCuppa Colombian single-origin Decaf is 100% Arabica processed without chemicals.

It is available as a whole bean medium roasted coffee, or if you require ground Decaf, select the correct grind option on the page before adding the product to your cart.

Our Swiss Water Colombian Decaf is an excellent choice for espresso style, plunger, stovetop, and even filter coffees. It's such a versatile coffee; it suits almost every brew application.

The key to achieving this is selecting the best Colombian Decaf on the market without compromises. We are known for producing the best roasted Decaf in Australia, and we back that claim up by delivering the most delicious-tasting Decaf available.

About Chemical-Free Decaf Coffee.

There are two main chemical-free Decaf processes.

You can choose Swiss Water Decaf Coffee beans from Canada or Mountain Water Decaf from Mexico.

Our mycuppa store sells both types of Chemical-Free Decaf coffees, and our products are the best available in each method.

The raw and unroasted coffee undergoes a unique patented process that eliminates caffeine while preserving its delectable flavours.

This premium bean is sourced coffee from one of the best farms in Colombia. It is rich, smooth, and creamy, with a chocolate finish.

Important features to be aware of with roasted Decaf coffees:

Decaf coffees are significantly darker in the green (or raw) bean state than traditional coffee beans.

That means the roasting process starts from a darker shade of raw Decaf than conventional coffees.

Roasting raw Decaf coffees will produce a darker shade of the physical product than a standard coffee.

There may also be a development of a light sheen or spot of oil on the outside surface of the roasted Decaf coffee beans.

Don't worry or be alarmed; it's not over-roasted or stale—this is a common condition for freshly roasted Decaf coffees.

Once roasted, Decaf coffees may appear very dark (almost black) and generally will emit a sheen of oil as early as 1-3 days after roasting. That contrasts with standard coffees, which may last 20 or more days without showing a light oil spot or sheen (depending upon roast depth and profile).

A light sheen of oil or moisture on the outside of roasted Decaf coffee beans is a natural cycle due to the caffeine removal altering the coffee bean's cell structure and moisture content.

mycuppa uses a full cast iron coffee roaster for maximum flavor and sweetness

Why our coffees are different

Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.

Why roasting with Cast Iron is best

how we roast your coffee

Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

mycuppa explains the delicate balance when roasting coffees for exceptional flavors

Roast Balance

Roast depth is a moving target for most coffee brands. It can depend upon the individual lot being roasted, ambient conditions (hot or cold) and the target brew application.

Our roast depth always targets medium (except for filter roast products that are roasted lighter).

Our medium-level roast is a combination of many factors, such as the balance of flavour, sweetness and acidity.

Roasting too far in one direction tends to pull or detract from other attributes.

Roast Profile

Our roast profile has evolved and optimized over the last 20 years.

Not much has changed in the last few years as the level of quality has essentially maintained at a consistently high range.

We roast for a medium level that takes all of the attributes into consideration - flavour, complexity, sweetness, acidity, body, aroma and finish.

Our roast profile could be described as carefully cautious - unwilling to push into zones that create an unbalanced cup taste.

Colour

Roast color is an outdated metric which no longer applies to quality coffees.

The external color of a roasted coffee bean bares little resemblance to how that coffee was actually roasted.

In the past, coffee was segmented as light, medium or dark. But those motifs did not sufficiently encompass the number of variations possible.

The external shade of a roasted coffee is more influenced by the brix (sugars) of the bean, e.g. higher brix levels may present or display darker shades of brown when roasted.

The processing method also plays a role in determining the final colour. Washed coffees are darker in shade, as are Decaf coffees, while naturals display a lighter and mottled appearance.

The roast profile also impacts the finished colour. A lighter-colored coffee may have been roasted poorly, having baked or stalled with darker internal colours.

Similarly, a lighter external color might hide the darker internals from scorching or rapid roasting using an invalid profile.

Dark does not mean stronger. In fact, dark is weaker as acid and caffeine levels decline.

Acidity

Acidity is perhaps one of the most complex and mis-understood attributes of roasted coffee.

Acidity is a fundamental requirement for flavor, in fact acidity is the pathway of flavor compounds.

Customers often ask for low—or zero-acid coffees. However, those coffees with very low acidity typically display dull, mediocre, and boring cup elements.

Australian coffee drinkers are predominantly milk or dairy alternative drinkers. In fact 93% of coffee drinkers add something else to the coffee besides sugar.

Acids are mostly grouped as citric or malic. When coffee is roasted well, the acidity should result in delicious sweetness.

However, the extraction or brew process can also affect the taste.

See how our coffees are roasted so beautifully

Whole bean coffee stays fresher for much longer than ground coffees

Ground coffee is poor value

Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.

The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.

Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.

If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.

Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.

Totally recommend

We tried many other coffee brands before this and honestly this is the best.

Great thanks

A great coffee without caffeine. Thank you

Best taste

Thumbs up from the ball and chain on this one folks. According to her that should be obeyed, it's a winner.

This is it

So may decafs have an awful taste, like burnt or something. Not this one, it is super smooth and creamy with a delicious flavor

Chocolate in a decaf - who would have guessed

Now when the Doc gave me the bad news, give up coffee, he also said I could drink Decaf. For the last few months I have tried many different Decafs from well known brands and none compare to this one from mycuppa. It has a nice chocolate taste that is tasty and perfect for me now I can't drink standard coffees.
