Hello, is the solvent process (e.g. dichloromethane, ethyl acetate) used to decaffeinate this coffee?
Which process is used to decaffeinate these beans?
Many thanks and best regards
Hello Migroskind105, thank you for your question. Our decaffeinated coffee beans undergo the gentle CO2 process. We only use water and CO2 to release the caffeine from the unroasted beans. The CO2 is used under high pressure to extract the caffeine from the bean. We can then reuse the CO2. The result: decaffeinated green coffee - without the use of solvents or other chemicals. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

After this coffee I am at least as awake as after a regular one. Have you labeled the capsules incorrectly or is the residual caffeine content higher than with other brands...? (L2022304468 10174644)
We had the exact same discussion at home today because my mom claimed that these Decaffeinato Lungos in blue, just like the other regular blue Lungos, also cause insomnia!
That's exciting. @Migros please get to the bottom of it.
Hello immer_eine_Frage, thank you for your contribution.Theresidual caffeine content corresponds to the information on the packaging. However, you may perceive the caffeine content more strongly, as the intensity and effect of coffee is perceived differently from person to person. Factors such as the roast, the type of bean and your personal sensitivity can play a role in this. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Thanks for the answer. Where on the packaging can I find the information on the residual caffeine content?
Hello immer_eine_Frage, according to EU Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006, decaffeinated coffee (Decaf) may have a maximum caffeine content of 0.1% in the dry matter. This corresponds to approximately 1 mg of caffeine per 100 ml of ready-made coffee. The legal limit for decaffeinated instant coffee is 0.3% caffeine in the dry matter. According to the manufacturer, each production run is carefully checked before release to ensure compliance with these specifications. Please excuse us, we made a mistake with regard to the printed information - the caffeine content is not declared on the packaging of Café Royal Espresso Decaf coffee capsules, which is legally compliant. Bestregards, your M-Infoline team

Why on earth do the Decaf capsules now have the same color as the (caffeinated) lungo?
Hi Andy_63, thanks for the question. We can well understand your astonishment! For economic reasons, the same color was chosen for both varieties. However, the embossing indicates which variety it is. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Even after three years I still think it's stupid, because we keep all the capsules in a big pot and I'm never really awake before my coffee! Decaffeinated lungos should be clearly recognizable even when you're sleepy and without reading glasses!

Which process and which agent is used to decaffeinate this decaffeinated coffee?
Hello NaLeisi, thank you for your inquiry. Café Royal Decaffeinato is decaffeinated with CO2. CO2 and high pressure are used to release the caffeine from the beans. The CO2 then evaporates completely. The advantage of the capsule material we use is that the material cannot dissolve even at high temperatures. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Hello Thank you for your prompt reply I can answer the questions as follows Machine type: TURMIX TX 160 PIXIE ART-NR: A 12157 / 020511 111 222 801 1787 88A 1CN Age??? > 4 years Capsule types: Café Royal Espresso Decaffeinato purchased on 18.02.2020, no more pack Café Royal Decaffeinato purchased on 04.03.2020 L 0000000009 2001774 Setting the water softener to 10 degrees of hardness. In my opinion, this is not the problem. The plastic capsule has a gradation at the end and is better guided by this when closing the machine. The coffee jet is nice and regular, whereas the aluminum capsule lacks this guide, which is why it is always crushed. The coffee only comes out drop by drop and the machine always switches off after 7 seconds. I hope that you will find a solution to the problem with this information. Yours sincerely, 0 replies
Hello Higa38, thank you for your feedback and the further information. We have made clarifications with the supplier. It is a major challenge to produce compatible capsules for a third-party system. This means that they have to be optimally accepted by different coffee machines. Nevertheless, the design must not be identical for patent reasons. Therefore, the applicability to compatible capsules is limited. Unfortunately, we cannot rule out such circumstances one hundred percent. However, we have already initiated material optimizations to further improve compatibility and the cup result. We will be happy to send you a small compensation. You will receive a separate e-mail for this purpose. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

We recently switched to aluminum capsules. Unfortunately, these didn't work with our coffee machine. The capsule is either compressed or it just dribbles and the machine suddenly stops. It works perfectly with the Plasic capsules. Why was this change made? Is an improvement planned? I look forward to your reply and thank you in advance.
Hello AnnemarieBart, thank you for your question. We are sorry that the capsules are not working properly. To clarify your issue, please provide us with the following information: Machine model, approximate purchase date of the machine, coffee types used and lot numbers / batch of the types used. We would also ask you to let us know whether you have a water softener / descaling system. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

Dear Migros team Unfortunately, the new aluminum capsules no longer work at all in my Nespresso machine. The capsules are compressed far too much, which means that little or no water flows through. Unfortunately, this makes the capsules unusable. The fault is repeated systematically, now in the second pack. Am I just unlucky or is there a design fault? Can you clarify this? Thank you very much!
