Swiss Water display 4 bags on white background

Swiss Water Coffees

Price: Starting at $13.75

Swiss Water

Did you know that not all decaf coffee is created equal? Some decaffeination methods involve chemicals like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate. Both are ingredients found in paint thinners, degreasing agents and – in large amounts – have been linked to numerous health problems. 

Swiss Water is not only the name of the company making the best decaf on the market, it’s also a proprietary water process that eliminates caffeine from coffee without leaving any chemical residues while retaining the bean’s natural flavor and aroma. The taste difference is instantly notable and delightful. 

Swiss Water’s online store offers a curated subscription service for under $25 that features coffee from various roasters who exclusively use the Swiss Water process.
