MURCHIE'S BEST DECAF COFFEE
LIGHT-MEDIUM ROAST
A Swiss Water® decaffeinated version of our most popular coffee, with fairly light body and a smooth, round flavour.
ALWAYS ROASTED IN-HOUSE (VANCOUVER, BC)
PRICES LISTED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS (CAD)
A blend of decaffeinated coffee from Mexico and Sumatra, Murchie's Best Decaf is fulfilling and delicious, round and rich, without the caffeine kick. Not only is this a decaffeinated version of our most popular blend, it is also a very versatile coffee. Great for use in a drip coffee maker, a French press or even as an espresso.
The beans are produced using the Swiss Water ® Decaffeination process, a process which allows the beans to retain most, if not all, of their flavour.
About the Swiss Water® Decaffeination Process:
- A batch of green (unroasted) beans is soaked in hot water, releasing caffeine. When all the caffeine and coffee solids are released into the water, the beans are discarded. The water then passes through a carbon filter that traps caffeine but lets the coffee solids pass through.
- The resulting solution, called "green coffee extract (GCE)", is now available for decaffeinating coffee. New green coffee beans are introduced to the GCE. Since the GCE is coffee solids without caffeine, only the caffeine diffuses from the new beans. The GCE passes through proprietary carbon, which captures the caffeine.
- The process repeats, filtering out all the caffeine until the beans are 99.9% caffeine-free.

Brewing the Best (Guide)
These coffee guidelines are a starting point; modify the ratio of coffee to water, the grind, and brewing time to your taste.
If your coffee is not strong enough, increase the proportion of coffee per cup of water, grind the beans finer, or allow them to brew longer - or any combination of these factors. If your coffee is too strong, simply do the opposite.
Drip coffee or pour-over method:
Hot water is gradually poured over the coffee grounds and slowly drips through.
- Fine to medium grind coffee
- 1.5 to 2.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup of water
French Press:
Coffee grounds are 'steeped' in hot water, and then a filter presses down the grounds, allowing the finished coffee to be poured off.
- Coarse grind coffee
- 1.5 to 2.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup (e.g. 4-6 tbsp for a 4-cup French press)
- Pour about 1/3 of the water over the coffee grinds; wait about 30 seconds and then pour in the rest
- Wait 4-5 minutes, then push down the plunger to separate the grounds from the finished coffee, and enjoy!
