if it where a bit low i would turn the volume a bit up, but this so very low that i turned the volume all the way up, but i still cannot hear any thing...
Love the vid! If you guys could turn up the audio I would appreciate it. With it all the way up It was still a little quiet from by little Bluetooth speaker
@ Joost TL, Try a dark roasted coffee, the dark roast means the bean is roasted longer and in the roasting process a certain amount of caffeine is lost, the longer you roast the bean the more caffeine is lost, most people think dark roast means more caffeine but it actually the opposite, darker the roast less caffeine
007Chakochi not many packets do sadly. Hipster coffee places can tell you and big chains should be able to too. Let me know if you discover who uses what!
For the solvent methods, just evaporate the used solvent and caffeine crystals will be left, and similarly with expanding the supercritical CO2 to a gas.
Apparently some or maybe all of these decaffeination methods, not only remove caffeine, but also, a compound responsible for SURFACE TENSION of the coffee which allows the creamer crema to float on the surface. Which of these methods ALLOWS for that?
Another great video.... But another video with sound levels far too low. They always seem to be around half the volume of most other videos. I watch on my phone in a noisy enviroment and have a lot of trouble hearing
It's strange if dopamine indicates addiction, people also get a dopamine release when they, for example, visit the dentist worried they might get a filling. Are people addicted to going ot the dentist? No, dopamine is more complicated than simply the "addiction neurotransmitter" it's the "remember this" transmitter. It's what marks things as important, whether it's something you love and covet, or something you hate or dread.
Some people are sensitive to the effects of coffee and some are not. I can have well over a litre of the stuff on a normal day and sleep fine afterwards and not even really feel a buzz ever.
I agree. I note that you didn't mention adjusting the volume in the operating system. In Windows, you should pop open the little speaker icon in the taskbar (or "hidden icons" not on the taskbar); and you can make adjustments in Control Panel / Sound. I'm not saying that you should be required to go to that trouble, but if you can't hear, those are additional things you can do.
Early in the video you ask "who can resist that alluring..." Well, I can, and it's actually not that difficult. The first step is that you have to find coffee disgusting, after that it takes care of itself. :)
You really need to mute the click track in the left ear. Some odd noise on that channel in the music is like a wood block click over and over all video long.
Please increase your volume levels. My iPad volume is all the way up, and you only sound like a normal listening level. Edit: I see this has already been addressed.
Joost TL So sorry your brother had to go through that. That mist have been very difficult for your family. My grandmother has a severe caffeine sensitivity as well, so I do understand why people drink it. I just personally dislike decaf and like to make jokes to that effect. :)
Tea has cafeen, too... Some of us cannot tolerate caffeine. I get migranes from ingesting caffeine. Having decaf coffee is the only way I can enjoy it.
Weird repetitive emphasis on the hipster aspect. I live in a coffee obsessed hipster mecca and decaf is pretty hard to find. Its not a hipster thing in any way whatsoever.
Assuming you read this, please take the following as constructive criticism. Check your levels. The audio is quiet, I had to increase the volume on my tv which made the next video quite loud.
Some people do not like the bad feeling that caffeine causes from stress, anxiety and insomnia /At the same time they do not want to give up the taste of coffee so Decaf if last hope better than quit this drink forever.❤️
It's been proven now that people respond differently to bitterness, biologically speaking. It's also the reason why some people can't stomach certain vegetables.
Firmus well I’m sorry you feel that way, but climate change is changing the growing seasons, and screwing with the local weather. A lot of things are going to disappear.
I work in the only plant in the world that is currently doing critical CO2 decaffeination (in Texas). This process is remarkable but very expensive/complex to design and implement. Great video and drink on!
That's super cool! Do you know if the Texas plant is still the only one in the world 3 years later? Do you know what brands get your CO2 processed beans?
these videos are getting quieter and quieter, in 2 weeks we won't be able to hear anything
oreskec they're decaf videos
mkostrub bravo 👏
And yer, sorry about this, #exportfail
Gotta check that 'normalize' box.
They probably used the usual -23 LUFS normalisation usual in TV productions while UA-cam is aiming for ~13 LUFS.
Audio on this was a bit low, Greg.
a bit? i wouldn't be surprised if it was 20db or more from baseline
if it where a bit low i would turn the volume a bit up, but this so very low that i turned the volume all the way up, but i still cannot hear any thing...
Yer sorry I need to go clean out the editor’s ears / sort out the export glitch
Love the vid!
If you guys could turn up the audio I would appreciate it. With it all the way up It was still a little quiet from by little Bluetooth speaker
someone needs to boost the audio on these videos, i can't hear a thing at the start?
Brilliant video and presentation, very likeable character and easy to understand explanation. Thank you!
Why aren't we using the leftover caffeine to make extracaffeinated coffee? I would buy that.
You can get it in instant form. I once had Rocket Fuel when I was in the UK. That stuff is savage.
I would like to find 'less' caffeinated coffee. for just the right high.
Probably being used for energy drinks and caffeine pills.
Firmus
Get a pre-workout supplement. Whooosh 😁
@ Joost TL, Try a dark roasted coffee, the dark roast means the bean is roasted longer and in the roasting process a certain amount of caffeine is lost, the longer you roast the bean the more caffeine is lost, most people think dark roast means more caffeine but it actually the opposite, darker the roast less caffeine
very good -without background noise !!!
clear and detail excellent explanation,
So the question is how do a consumer know which way the beans were decaffeinated?
Does the packet contain that information?
007Chakochi not many packets do sadly. Hipster coffee places can tell you and big chains should be able to too. Let me know if you discover who uses what!
Well said chap!
This was genuinely interesting. Great work.
fez Cheers! (Do you cheers a coffee??)
Any particular reason why you haven't drunk caffeine for the last year's Greg?
Interesting video, however dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) is a different substance to ethylene chloride (C2H4Cl2).
You have had caffeinated coffee. Decaf still has caffeine in it dufus.
Nespresso cups has 2 mg per cup lol its almost nothing
I think the real question is how do we get the coffee out of the caffine.
now we're asking the real questions
that last method probably leaves lots of pure caffeine as a biproduct
For the solvent methods, just evaporate the used solvent and caffeine crystals will be left, and similarly with expanding the supercritical CO2 to a gas.
@@TheCoulman The question the government doesn't want us to ask!
Love your presentation! I actually learned a lot

You need to sort out the audio.....
I have several decafs a day with sweetener. It's my placebo for a dessert:)
Do u get addicted to it??
You go boy!! That was well explained😊
Good to know. I wonder if it's done the same with tea.
I always love the videos with Greg. Such a good presenter.
By the way, who is responsible for the "comments" within the videos? :)
blocki that’ll be our editor. The cheeky [redacted]. I love him really. And thanks for the nice words! 😊
The volume of the recording is too low.
Great vid Greg - what's your favourite Nespresso compatible decaf pod? The various makers don't seem to make apparent which methodology they use ....
What kind of sacrilege is this?! Why not also strip out alcohol out of alcohol and cocaine out of coke while we're at it?
As useless as non alcoholic beer.
audio too soft

I was only aware of the carbon dioxide method. And from the way all sorts of solvents used , I think CO2 method is the cleanest
5:01- 5:05 😂
Please adjust your mic gain on your future videos. I had my volume maxed out in youtube, PC, and speakers and I could still barely hear your audio.
I agree. I note that you didn't mention adjusting the volume in the operating system. In Windows, you should pop open the little speaker icon in the taskbar (or "hidden icons" not on the taskbar); and you can make adjustments in Control Panel / Sound.

*In my country we add Cardamom to Coffee for eliminate caffeine .We have been doing this for centuries*
Early in the video you ask "who can resist that alluring..." Well, I can, and it's actually not that difficult. The first step is that you have to find coffee disgusting, after that it takes care of itself. :)
Coffee gives me headaches

Nice👍👍
For next episode try explaning how they make the cherry on a cake. Ill promise you never eat them again.
When he said I'll take you through the 4 methods I couldn't help but check how long the video is.
I'm addicted to tea
Who is he wearing his watch
I'm a tea drinker myself. I only drink coffee when I want/need the stimulation. Decaff is utterly perverse to me.
most teas are caffeinated too
whats the point ?
I drink decaf coffee and green tea
John James you know green tea has caffeine in it right? 🤔
Greg Foot mine is decaf tea
John James oh nice yer I have decaf green tea too 🍵
Mildly carcinogenic, sounds pleasant.
How about breeding and growing caffeine free coffee beans
Really nice video, but at 4:06 you have a small mistake - Dichloromethane is Methylene Chloride, not Ethylene Chloride.
Peleg Bar Sapir well spotted! 10 points 😉
Greg Foot I blame my MSc in Chemistry 😋
thought someone was banging pots together outside, but it was you backgroundmusic
👍
Just what we need: yet more processed food.
Dont drink coffee if you are sensitive to caffine...
More to the point what is the penalty for taking caffeine out of coffee
Ralph Reagan i guess the lack of caffeine could be seen as a penalty in some uses cases :p
Please increase your volume levels. My iPad volume is all the way up, and you only sound like a normal listening level.
Edit: I see this has already been addressed.
Say coffee one more time, I dare you, I do let dare you.
Thanks for the informational video, was interesting.
avoided Decaf for ages because i thought it tasted shit... its not great but surprisingly better or same than most of the instant ones.
But the real question is WHY. WHY get the caffeine out of coffee? #deathbeforedecaf
USApatriot30 my brother couldn't drink caffeine anymore after his cancer. he got much more sensitive to the drug sadly.
i think that counts as a #decafbeforedeath
Joost TL So sorry your brother had to go through that. That mist have been very difficult for your family. My grandmother has a severe caffeine sensitivity as well, so I do understand why people drink it. I just personally dislike decaf and like to make jokes to that effect. :)
To be able to sleep and not become addicted.
Arc Kocsog Sleep is for the weak!
Time to fire the sound guy and hire one who can hear.
If you're sensitive to caffeine just drink the damn tea
Tea has cafeen, too... Some of us cannot tolerate caffeine. I get migranes from ingesting caffeine. Having decaf coffee is the only way I can enjoy it.
Not "how?", but "WHY?".
Weird repetitive emphasis on the hipster aspect. I live in a coffee obsessed hipster mecca and decaf is pretty hard to find. Its not a hipster thing in any way whatsoever.
I drink decaf.
But sir, DCM isn't "ethylene chloride", it's "Methylene chloride" actually...
Huh. I always assumed it was just GMO beans that didn't produce caffeine to begin with. The more you know, I guess.
That would probably be cheaper, but not allowed in the EU and Britain.
1:58 Caffeine is less than 10 angstroms long. Many other biological molecules are larger.
Why people drink coffee free caffeine? I mean whats the joy in coffee if there is no caffeine ?
Becuase some of us cannot tolerate caffeine. I get migranes from ingesting caffeine. Having decaf coffee is the only way I can enjoy it.
TLDR - Drink it!
Or you could just drink tea.
Assuming you read this, please take the following as constructive criticism.
Check your levels. The audio is quiet, I had to increase the volume on my tv which made the next video quite loud.
What the hell is that tapping noise in the background, it's driving me bonkers.
The Varzoth it’s music
Opps. Sorry I fell asleep.
After watching this I realized that decaf isn’t worth it
Shoddy green screen work.
This is a lot of work and wastefulness for a drink that isn't worth drinking anymore.
At first I thought something wrong with the speakers. After I read all the comments it was this video's sound problem
Why are you whispering ?
“Instead of benzene, they used an organic solvent...” sigh
Too much process for decafing cofee, just create a new breed without that compound
The better question is why would you take the caffeine out of coffee.
Becuase some of us cannot tolerate caffeine. I get migranes from ingesting caffeine. Having decaf coffee is the only way I can enjoy it.
The question isn’t “how?”. It’s “why?!”
ShitAbysss lol a few people are distraught over the concept of decaf 😝
*Caffeine =stress, anxiety,insomnia*
Biased much? Hahaha
What I want to know is "WHY" would you (EVER) take the caffeine out of coffee? Lol.
Cam Good haha 👌
Some people do not like the bad feeling that caffeine causes from stress, anxiety and insomnia /At the same time they do not want to give up the taste of coffee so Decaf if last hope better than quit this drink forever.❤️
Becuase some of us cannot tolerate caffeine. I get migranes from ingesting caffeine. Having decaf coffee is the only way I can enjoy it.
SIMPLE ANSWER: You don't.
decaf just doesnt taste right. just like alcohol free beer.... brrrrr disgusting
Poor audio. Not a good look for your channel.
Third
cool but decaf tastes like doo doo
You speaks very silently little louder please
You lost me at "solvent"
"food safe Poison"
1st
Your sound is weak.
I hate coffee, I hate the bitterness. No amount of sugar or cream covers that bitter taste.
It's been proven now that people respond differently to bitterness, biologically speaking. It's also the reason why some people can't stomach certain vegetables.
So, everyone here like a cup of why even bother? Coffee with out caffeine... Why even bother.
Decaf is for wamen
Indeed respect wamen. And only put in their water plate decaf
Is wamen the inevitable morphing of women and ramen? #ItHadToHappenOneDay
Coffee is disgusting, I’m glad it’ll be extinct by 2080.
It isn't and it won't.
Only because robots have wiped out humanity by 2050 and robots don't drink coffee.
Firmus well I’m sorry you feel that way, but climate change is changing the growing seasons, and screwing with the local weather. A lot of things are going to disappear.
Doesn't anyone watch the videos before posting? Audio is way low.
*In my country we add Cardamom to Coffee for eliminate caffeine .We have been doing this for centuries*
I work in the only plant in the world that is currently doing critical CO2 decaffeination (in Texas). This process is remarkable but very expensive/complex to design and implement. Great video and drink on!
Great, using complex and expensive scientific processes to make something useless: decaf coffee >_
fenrirgg if there’s money and demand, there’s supply
That's super cool! Do you know if the Texas plant is still the only one in the world 3 years later? Do you know what brands get your CO2 processed beans?
@@irisgo6448 illy
Coffee only drags me to the world of explosive diarrhea
hahaha just build a toilet seat Next to your bed and the problem solved😉😂😂😂
If it's decaf it don't pick you up.
Audio levels are all over the place and mostly way too low.
audio is way too quiet compared to most other videos.
