Peet’s Coffee Achieves 100 Percent Water Processing for Decaf Coffees

Peet’s Coffee has fully transitioned to water processing across its entire line of decaffeinated roasted beans, K-Cup pods and handcrafted decaf coffee beverages available in Peet’s coffee bars. This process is chemical-free and naturally removes caffeine while ensuring the integrity, taste and quality of the coffee beans for an optimal sipping experience.

“Peet’s Coffee is dedicated to exceptional coffee experiences, with the most stringent standards in place for quality, sourcing and taste,” said Doug Welsh, vice president and roastmaster for Peet’s Coffee. “We are continuously improving our coffee offerings to meet the lifestyle needs of our consumers, and decaffeinated coffee is an important staple for many. To the delight of our decaf coffee drinkers, we use the same superior roasted beans in our decaffeinated blends as we do in our regular coffees, so the flavor is never compromised. Now, they will be able to enjoy a Peet’s coffee that is naturally decaffeinated though water process while maintaining the superior taste you’d expect from Peet’s.”

The water process decaffeination method gently removes caffeine from fresh coffee beans while maintaining the bean’s distinctive flavor profile. Water process decaffeination occurs in two steps: First, the decaffeinator prepares a solution from pure hot water and unroasted coffee beans, then filters the caffeine out of that solution. Then, a batch of raw green coffee beans selected and supplied by Peet’s are soaked in the solution. The caffeine flows out, leaving the flavor intact. The beans—full of flavor, not caffeine—are then dried and ready for careful hand roasting at Peet’s Roastery in Alameda, CA.
