Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine remains in DEK Cremoso?
Less than 0.1% residual caffeine, the threshold for the "decaffeinated" label for roasted coffee. In practical terms: at most a few milligrams per cup (one capsule contains 7.5g of coffee), compared to several tens of milligrams for a classic espresso. This residual amount is considered negligible for most people; however, in the case of pregnancy or particular sensitivity, a doctor's advice remains the best course of action.
How does Lavazza decaffeinate its coffee?
Lavazza states that it decaffeinates this coffee using its own method, which leaves the characteristics of each origin intact; the brand does not detail the process on its product page. The principle common to all methods is that the caffeine is removed from the green beanbefore roasting, so that the aromas that develop during roasting then develop normally.
Does decaf coffee taste less than regular coffee?
Lavazza presents it as the taste of espresso in a decaffeinated version : a complete coffee, rich in flavor, full-bodied and balanced (7/13), with fruity and nutty. Some tasters perceive a decaffeinated coffee that is slightly milder than a caffeinated one, with caffeine contributing some of the bitterness.
Can DEK and caffeinated blends be mixed during the day?
Absolutely. Common recommendation for balancing your caffeine intake throughout the day:
- Morning (7am-11am) — Passionale or Intenso for the caffeine boost.
- Lunch (12pm-2pm) — Delizioso or Soave after the meal (less excitement).
- Afternoon and evening (4pm+) — DEK Cremoso for indulgence without affecting sleep.
DEK Cremoso is used on the same AMM machine as caffeinated blends — no need to change devices.
