Exactly how much caffeine remains in a decaf coffee?
The European standard requires a residual caffeine content of < 0.1% for the label "decaffeinated". Specifically:
- Decaffeinated coffee (this product) : ~2-5 mg caffeine per cup.
- Classic espresso coffee : 60-80 mg caffeine per cup.
- Black tea : ~40 mg caffeine per cup (for comparison).
- Dark chocolate 70% : ~20 mg caffeine per 100 g.
Decaf coffee therefore retains a residual trace of caffeine but remains largely suitable for people who limit their consumption or suffer from insomnia/anxiety related to caffeine.
How is this Delta blend decaffeinated?
Delta blend is decaffeinated using water extraction (a process Swiss Water or supercritical CO2) — a natural, solvent-free that preserves the original aromas. The beans are steeped in hot water, which extracts the caffeine; the water is then filtered through activated carbon, which retains the caffeine but allows the aromas to pass through; the beans are then re-soaked in this water to restore their aromatic profile. Unlike solvent-based processes (methylene chloride, ethyl acetate), no chemical residue remains in the final product.
What is the difference in taste compared to the classic Delta Gold?
Very close. Water decaffeination preserves the original aromas of the Arabica-Robusta Delta blend. You'll find the signature notes of chocolate, dried fruit, and toasted grains. A slight reduction in body may sometimes be perceptible to expert palates—this is normal, as caffeine contributes slightly to the sensation of "strength" on the palate. This difference is very subtle and only appears in a side-by-side tasting.
Is decaf coffee suitable for pregnant women?
Yes, highly recommended. ANSES and the WHO advise pregnant women to limit their caffeine intake to a maximum of 200 mg per day (across all products: coffee, tea, chocolate, sodas). Decaf coffee with less than 5 mg per cup allows you to continue enjoying the pleasure of coffee without exceeding this limit. The same recommendations apply to people sensitive to caffeine (insomnia, anxiety, arrhythmia) and seniors are more sensitive to stimulants.
Is there a 1kg format or pack available?
The 500g sachet (this product) is the standard Delta Decaffeinated format. For more intensive use (office, restaurant, hotel offering a decaf option), order several sachets or explore the decaffeinated range Cafemalin (capsules and other formats).
