The company's that typically use the swiss water method are also ones that tend to sell higher quality beans. You will find the caffeinated coffee they sell to also be higher prices. Large coffee producers that you typically find in the grocery store are in a battle with each other to get you to buy their product. One way to do this is to have the most competitive price, which requires taking short cuts on quality and ethics. A lot of companies and this applies to other products as well, not just coffee, have learned that spending the money on marketing is more important than a safe quality product, when it comes to profits.
For the record, the Kirkland coffee he uses as an example *is* water processed. Very misleading. There’s also the CO2 method. Both are non-solvent. And, water is chemicals. CO2 is chemicals. Everything is chemicals, but not all chemicals are “harsh solvents”.
The amount of misinformation and misleading information is astronomical. Not even properly looking into sugar process decaf or the actual process regulation and health studies in this regards is just not right. Please refrain from “influencing” if you have such poor data, an easy one to digest is James Hofmann’s videos on decaffenation, that should be low hanging fruit to start with before even posting g this things
@andriidanylov9453 for the record the harsh chemical the dude in the video is thinking about is methyl chloride. Which is also used in jasco paint stripper
I can see this becoming an issue if one were to consume a bean processed with methyl chloride on a regular basis. Once or twice a year won’t have major effects.
Yup found that out when I had to switch to decaf. Too much caffeine triggers my anxiety. I don't need any caffeine to get motivated lol. But I love the taste of coffee.
DCM is the solvent that they use to decaffeinate coffee usually. It is very volatile (boiling point of 39.6C). They almost always decaffeinate before the beans are roasted so the DCM is boiled off. While DCM is possibly carcinogenic in humans, it is not present in large enough amounts to cause damage. So I wouldn’t worry about it, you would have to drink a ridiculous amount of decaf to be in danger, but you would probably throw up long before that because I don’t think the stomach could hold that much coffee.
YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO READ THE LABEL BOBBY! I drink this costco brand decaf and stated on the label is, "These beans are decaffeinated, without the use of chemicals using a water process method..."
Listen again, miss Letty. He says that the companies that use chemicals to remove caffeine then wash with water afterwards to remove the chemicals. THIS brand does not use chemicals to remove the caffeine in the first place.
Good question, M Carr...would like to know if it's the Swiss Water Method without actually saying it. As you pointed out it does state "no chemicals". I would assume that means none are used anywhere in the process.
Yes you can also use co2 or a naturally reoccurring compound in most fruits called ethyl acetate to remove caffeine, so take off the tin foil and chill
The chemical they use is called Ethylacetate. If you check decaffeinated beens for residual ethylacetate, you’ll find amounts that are so low as to be negligible. You get 400x more ethyl acetate by spending 24 hours in an urban area and just vibing than in a standard cup of decaf coffee. And even then the standard-city-day levels are so far away from having any effect that they’re basically negligible
Thank you. For years, we've heard that the chemical used to decaffeinate coffee is a known carcinogen. I believe that. So if you drink even one cup a day, that chemical builds up in your system.
@@80goal if you drink any cup of any coffee you're drinking a full cup of a chemical. Water is a chemical. Bobby has you scared of your own shadow. big bad scary "chemicals" and even worse... "toxxxxins" OMFG SCARRRRY Meanwhile this hypocrite drinks wine and was sponsored by a wine company. Alcohol is a TOXIN folks. What a clown.
They use ethyl acetate which boils at 70°C so for instant coffee you won't get it in solution anyway even if they didn't wash it off. Or they use DCM which boils off at 40°C so is even more unlikely to stay. Source: I googled what chemicals they use and am in my final year of a chemistry degree
Ethyl Acetate is also found in brewed alcohol as a common off-flavor, which smells like a sickly sweet moldy fruit covered in nail polish remover . And keep in mind that decaf still has caffeine, just less. So, while i’m not sure if it is The most dangerous, one of the most dangerous chemicals in a cup of decaf might still be caffeine.
The amount of misinformation in this video is crazy. Most decaffeination methods use supercritical carbon dioxide to remove caffeine. CO2 is non-toxic in the supercritical state🤦🏻♀️
I would encourage you to also learn about the CO2 method, where highly compressed CO2 is soaked into the beans. The swiss water method has a greater risk of removing other water soluble from the beans themselves. As a result, flavour profile can be compromised.
Jim’s Organic brand is the only one I buy for regular and decaf. Not that I like decaf. But keep their decaf on hand for guests because they use the Swiss water method.
Yes, I drink it while I'm pregnant to avoid caffine. I know they say a little is okay but I try to refrain because i usually have a few complications like diabetes.
I drink Purity decaf coffee. I didn’t know about this Swiss water method but it seems like Purity uses this method. It’s really delicious and they have amazing service. Thank you for this video.
This isn't entirely accurate. Swiss water processing is a specific method and it's trademarked. Any water processing to remove caffeine is more true to what you're trying to communicate. An example is Mountian water process. With that said I love a healthy does of skepticism when it cones to "safe" chemicals. But there are more processes to look in to as alternative or safer methods as well, I always tell people if it's a concern to you don't take anyone's word, grab the available science and take it with a grain of salt. Always ready to talk coffee and tea but these short clips are doing coffee and tea a bit of an injustice.
This !!!! I hate the "well, if a popular UA-camr says it, then it's true" attitude. And if you try to refute them by bringing in facts that you researched yourself, they'll say "you're wrong cause the guy on UA-cam that I trust for no reason, even though I have no idea if what he is saying is true or not, said so".
Yes! Thankfully I drink organic decaf with the swiss water method of removal!!! I truly enjoy being aware and open to learning more about the most important! What we put into our bodies!!! We are all blessed to have you out there shareing the good news:) thank you Bobby and your family!!!!
I also see on that label it says water processed without chemicals.. Kirkland should make a statement, its so hard to know if something is legit these days based off of labels. Look at what has happened to "organic."
Folgers supposedly uses harmless chemicals: "Instant decaffeinated coffee, treats the brewed coffee concentrate with ethyl acetate, a natural substance (it is found in apples and bananas, for example, and breaks down to form alcohol and vinegar).Aug 1, 1984"
It's one of Americas most trusted Decaf. If Your strange Coffee that is supposed to be Decaf and tastes real fruity, more likely it's Not Decaf. I was up until 5 am once when they said it was "Swiss Water"! Folgers Decaf does not taste as bitter as cheaper brands. I fell for a Decaf prank on UA-cam.
Funny as I just watched a deep dive video on decaf with James Hoffman and they made it pretty clear that the chemicals used in decaf are already in our environment and are not to be concerned with. Even consuming 1KG/2LBS of decaf beans in one sitting, still would only take you to the chemical level you are already getting from the environment/food which is clearly not having a measurable health impact that we are aware of. Why exactly are you recommending we avoid decaf beyond personal opinion? Is there a paper(s) you can link us to on the health impacts of decaf chemicals?
Homie may not play that game, but studies show that levels of harsh chemicals are extremely extremely low and haven't been linked to any health issues.
Dear guy in the video, how were you able to test about the remaining solvents after the process and do you have documented evidence that they do exist and in harmful ways?
I LOVE the taste of coffee but even a few sips gives me heart palpitations- which is weird because my guayaki Yerba mate has way more caffeine but doesn’t do that. So decaf let’s me have a warm comforting cup without the issues 🙌🏼
If they didn't wash of the "harsh chemicals", causing damage to their consumers, they would get sued for selling harmful produce now wouldn't they? Foods you see in the supermarket has been inspected by FDA and other instances alike to make sure that food is generally considered safe to consume, so if anything were to go wrong with Kirkland's decaf it would either be halted by the FDA or consumers would sue the company. Not a good thing for businesses to face, costing them capital and reputation....
Like organic food in tin cans? 😏 Organic xyz only means that product is organic. Not necessarily how it’s processed. Even dark organic chocolate contains lead and cadmium for example. Thanks to mankind’s greed, nothing seems to be a hundred percent safe anymore. As options go, it’s about choosing the lesser of two evils.
I grind my own beans to keep from crap grounds I also use organic long grain rice ground along with beans. Decaf result due to rice soaking up the oils and residue. Coffee tastes so good.
I am drinking swiss water process daily. Good coffee roasters use this method and it typically tastes much better. Do you have any data to backup that normal decaf has "chemicals" in it?
That’s not exactly true Ethyl acetate is pretty nontoxic but if you don’t want to use that there is other methods Besides the Swiss water process there is also liquid and supercritical CO2 extraction which is no more of a chemical than water itself. Water is used as a solvent meaning it is also a chemical and activated charcoal is also used in the Swiss water process. If you don’t want specified solvent extraction, just try to find Swiss water or co2.
I was wondering why my coffee has been tasting weird! And I stopped using all those strange tasting creamers, so I was wondering what the issue was. Thanks! 😃
This is only part of the truth and doesn't take into account all methods and the history of decaf coffee, leading to potential misinformation. A good reference is James Hoffmann's "Decaf Explained" video here: ua-cam.com/video/yYTSdlOdkn0/v-deo.html
If you agree with this principle you probably should avoid almost every single produce or grain. They all come in contact with harsh chemicals and rely on washing to remove them. With that said, you SHOULD favor Swiss method decaf for environmental reasons, just as you should avoid cheap grocery store produce & grains.
I was very surprised when I found out that two of our major coffee chains use the REALLY bad chemicals. Personally I know of one person who had a unusually bad reaction as is permanently on medication.
This is true it's impossible to filter out the harsh chemicals after extracting the caffeine. I bet that they know it's impossible to truely extract all chemicals from the coffee. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾
No so the "Harsh Chemical" is Ethyl Acetate, it does not come in direct contact with the coffee beans. They are soaked in water to absorb the caffein (allong with absorbing all the other flavours) then ethy acetate is used to remove the caffein. This is then removed from the liquid and that liquid gets added back to the beans. Its not going to hurt you, "chemicals" is very much a buzzword, water is a chemical, and compounds in coffee are chemicals. Ethyl Acetate is a naturally occurring compound that's found in fruits! Although its usually made synthetically for these applications. But again that doesnt mean BAD. this is just misinformation and is great if you want lots of views...
Many coffee experts unlike this guy have stated on many occasions that the method of decaffeination has no effect on the safety of the coffee whatsoever and all current methods are very safe and effective. This fool is literally going off of "It sounds scary, so it must be bad" and nothing more.
I appreciate this info- but for the sake of being even better informed, are there any journals or articles where anyone has tested the finished product to show exactly what chemicals are left over and how much?
I've never seen a decaf coffee that says Swiss Water
@@pittsburgh-gal all the good food will be pricey for the majority of people. That is the future.
