How high is the caffeine content after the decaf process?
Hello Raftho
Our coffee is decaffeinated using the DCM process (dichloromethane). In this process, the dichloromethane is completely removed after the caffeine has been extracted. The coffee is then thoroughly checked for caffeine and other residual products to ensure that the legal maximum values are adhered to. The maximum residual caffeine content is 0.1%.

What process is used to decaffeinate this coffee?
See below: Zaun coffees are decaffeinated using the DCM (dichloromethane) process. We understand your concerns about the carcinogenic effects of dichloromethane. We would therefore like to provide you with further information.
DCM is suspected of being carcinogenic. It is not classified as acutely toxic.
The process of decaffeinating coffee beans using DCM is carried out by a company in Germany. We visited the production facility ourselves and were convinced that the process is carried out in accordance with current environmental and occupational safety regulations. After decaffeination, the DCM is removed from the beans, recovered and cleaned. The beans are tested for caffeine content and DCM residue. The limit value is less than 2 mg / kg. This value is set so that no expected side effects occur. In addition, a safety factor is included in each case, which should also cover high consumption.
We hope we have been able to allay your concerns a little and wish you continued enjoyment of your coffee. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Hello anda1, thank you for your inquiry. Dragonball has already provided you with the answer, which is posted further down on this website. In brief, decaffeination is carried out using the DCM process (dichloromethane), whereby the dichloromethane is removed again after the caffeine has been removed. After the process, the coffee is examined for caffeine and other residual products. Naturally, care is taken to ensure that the legal maximum values are adhered to. We hope this information is helpful for you. Best regards, your M-Infoline team
Thank you for your reply, but I am not happy about this and will not be buying any more coffee from "Zaun" in future. I am very surprised that Migros has such products in its range. I assume that this coffee is not toxic, but I have switched to decaffeinated coffee because of my health and do not want to damage it again.

Why is the decaffeination process not communicated transparently here?!!! Decaffeination with solvents is suspected of being carcinogenic - dichloromethane - ethyl acetate without solvents - Swiss water process - CO2 process - solvent-free There can't be any talk of it being 100% natural?!! Thanks for your feedback

Hello, Most decaffeinated products are made by extracting the caffeine with chemical solvents. Is this the case with Zaun? In this case, it would be toxic to health. Thank you Didier Mony.
Hello Etincelleducoeur, thank you for your question. Zaun coffees are decaffeinated using dichloromethane, which is removed after decaffeination. Once the procedure is complete, we examine the coffee to ensure that it no longer contains caffeine or other residual products. The legal maximum values are of course respected. With best regards, your M-Infoline team

The decaffeinated Zaun coffee is super tasty. We are now interested in how the decaffeination process works?
Hello coffreeteam Thank you for your interest. The coffee fence is decaffeinated with dichloromethane. This is the most common method. The green coffee is first tested by the manufacturer and then also by us in the incoming goods department. After decaffeination, the caffeine content and residual solvent content of each batch is also analyzed. This enables us to ensure that the coffee meets the requirements regarding caffeine and dichloromethane residues. We hope this information has been helpful and wish you a pleasant day.

I am satisfied
