Baby Boomers: Should you be drinking healthier coffee?

I love coffee, and I’ve been drinking it for many years.  A few years ago, I switched to decaffeinated, trying to cut out caffein.  Then I heard about the decaffeination process, and the chemicals that are used in this process, so I decided to stop drinking coffee altogether.  This was tough, and I went through some withdrawal. I started drinking green tea, which is probably better for me anyway, but I still missed my coffee.

Then I found out about a more “natural” decaffeination process that uses water instead of chemicals.  I went to a local farmers market where a local company named Cafe del Sol was selling the water-decaffinated process, and the coffee was great.  Now I’m back to drinking decaffinated coffee.

If you want to find naturally decaffinated coffee, look for the terms “naturally decaffeinated” or “Swiss decaffeinated” (the Swiss process uses activated charcoal or carbon filters.)

There are probably lots of local coffee brewers like mine.  Maybe you can find one, or order off the Internet.  If you know of a good natural coffee company, let me know.

    There are 3 decaffeination processes that are being used. One is using chemicals, the other is using CO2 and the last one is using water. The best way is using CO2 because it is a healty way and complies with the EEC rule that a decaf shall not contain more than 0,1% caffein. Lavazza uses this method and the coffee is great. Have a try, you will not regret it.
