The Swiss Water Process
Swiss Water® Process uses the elements of water, temperature and time to create some of the most intriguing decaf coffee. First, we start with small batches of amazing coffee and green coffee extract. Then we add local water and a dash of loving attention by monitoring time and temperature until the coffee is 99.9% caffeine free
When beans arrive at our facility
They have been shipped to us from the finest growing regions around the world. Cleaned and hydrated with pure, local water to prepare them for caffeine removal, these beans are beginning their journey to becoming amazing decaf coffee.
The end of the line for caffeine
Our internally developed Green Coffee Extract (GCE) is introduced to the beans and caffeine removal begins. Caffeine ventures out on its own, away from the coffee beans into the GCE until the ratio of soluble compounds in the GCE to the compounds in the coffee reach the point of equilibrium. Caffeine and GCE flow continuously through our proprietary carbon filters until all the caffeine is trapped and separated from the GCE. Then the GCE is refreshed so that it can be used again and again to remove more caffeine.
Continuous monitoring
For the next 10 hours, our team continuously monitors the process and caffeine levels in each batch we are decaffeinating. We monitor time, gauge temperature controls, and check the levels on the GCE flow. The result of all this loving attention to detail is worth it -- 99.9% caffeine-free coffee.
Into your cup
Finally, the decaffeinated green beans are shipped to the roasters and the specialty coffee brands we work with, so that the beans can be turned into something special. We’re privileged to be one small stop on the amazing journey that brings coffee from unique places of origin to your cup.
Coffee Brew Guide & Ratios
Brewing Basics:
Keep coffee as fresh as possible, it’s best to use whole beans and grind them before use.
If you are using pre-ground coffee, store in an airtight container, in a cool dry place, or in the freezer. They can be used directly from frozen as the oils prevent the grinds from sticking together! When ordering be sure to select the correct grind for your brewing method.
As different grinds, such as for filter coffee are coarser or finer for espresso and will change the resulting taste.
Aim to use a water temperature of 91-94 degrees centigrade, this prevents the coffee from being over (too hot) or under extracted (too cold). Just leave the kettle to cool for a minute before pouring.
If you can, filter your water before use, this can make it sweeter. But also makes your equipment last longer and not scale.
The methods we will cover are:
-
Cafetiere/French Press
-
Stove/Moka Pot
-
Aeropress
-
V60 Dripper
Cafetiere
Cafetiere’s come in a number of shapes, colours and sizes but are all essentially a pot/carafe with a plunger attached to the top and a mesh filter that keeps back the grounds.
1. Weigh & Grind
Use a medium to coarse grind, roughly 20g per cup.
2. Grounds & Water
Pop the coffee grinds in the cafetiere, slowly add the boiling water ensuring the grinds are completely covered.
3. Brew & Pour
Leave the coffee for around 3-5 minutes, longer if you like it stronger. Place the plunger onto the pot and slowly press down. If there is a lot of resistance, there may be too much coffee or it’s too finely ground. When fully pressed, pour into your favourite mug.
Your lovely coffee is done. Enjoy!
Moka Pot
1. Fill & Add Grinds
Begin by filling the chamber with cold water (up to the valve or filling point), pop the filter in, then add the ground coffee, around 20-24g
2. Screw & Tamp
Keeping the bottom chamber level, screw the top chamber onto the bottom one.
3. Add Heat & Enjoy
Add heat to the base of the Moka Pot, soon as it starts to bubble and hiss it should be ready. Give it a quick stir and pour into your favourite mug.
Aeropress
1. Boil & Prepare
Boil the kettle, and leave it to rest for a minute. Insert the plunger (the inner chamber of your Aeropress) into the outer tube, so the black seal is in line with the number 4. Stand it on end, so the 4 is closest to the table.
2. Add Coffee & Water
Add around 16 grams of medium to finely ground coffee and then pour your water up to the 1 mark.
3. Stir & Prepare Filter
Stir your coffee and set a timer for 1 minute, prepare your filter paper, by putting it in the filter holder and pouring hot water through to rinse it. Then screw onto the Aeropress.
4. Brew & Pour
Once the minute has passed, place your mug upside down on top and carefully flip the whole stack.
Carefully push the inner chamber down to brew your coffee. Enjoy!
Oh did we mention the makers of Frisbee invented the Aeropress?
V60 Dripper Coffee
One of the easiest methods for brewing coffee.
1. Weigh & Grind
Weigh out around 18 grams of medium coffee grounds per cup.
2. Place Filter
Place filter into the dripper and rinse with boiled water – helps improve the flavour. When this is done, add the coffee grounds and pour in 70ml – 100ml of the boiled water, in a circular motion (called blooming), ensuring all coffee is saturated.
3. Brew & Enjoy
Allow the water to pass through the filter for around 30 seconds. After this add your water in 100ml doses with a 10 second gap between doses. Takes a little time but produces great coffee!
Ratios for your method of brewing:
French Press/Cafetiere
1) Add 2 heaped table spoons (20g) of ground coffee to a French Press/Cafetiere
2) Add 170ml (60z) of just off boiling water.
3) Leave to brew for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4) Slowly press the plunger and serve in your favourite mug.
Pour Over/V60
1) Add 2 heaped table spoons (20g) of ground coffee to a Pour Over/V60.
2) Pour over enough water to cover the grounds (around 50ml of 170ml total) and leave for around 20 seconds.
3) Slowly pour the rest of the hot water in a circular motion to cover all the grounds.
4) After 4 minutes, it should be fully drained and ready to serve.
Espresso Machine
1) Start with 18g of espresso ground coffee in your portafilter
2) Brew for roughly 26 seconds
3) Target end weight of espresso should be around 38-40grams.
As with everything in coffee always experiment as taste and equipment can vary widely.
Happy Brewing.
