How does Nespresso remove the caffeine?

At Nespresso, we use two different natural processes to remove the caffeine from the green coffee beans we use for our varieties without altering the coffee’s natural quality. The water decaffeination process uses water to remove the caffeine. Also, using carbon dioxide method, the green coffee is soaked in water after which carbon dioxide (one of the key constituents of air) is used to extract the caffeine.

Both methods are completely safe for coffee drinkers. The processes respect the environment and the coffee bean’s true nature, allowing us to maintain the strength, variety and richness of its aromas for our consumers.

Nespresso has several varieties of decaffeinated coffee. These come from the same highest quality green coffee beans and undergo the same quality controls as other cofee varieties.
