Who determines the caffeine content?

The content of caffeine is mainly determined by God, that is, the seed and the weight of coffee beans. The caffeine content of the coffee liquid in a cup of coffee is closely related to the extraction. For example, the caffeine content of each Robusta coffee bean is about 3.2%, which is much higher than 1.5% of Arabica. For other types of coffee derived from Arabica, the caffeine content of each coffee bean is also about 1.2% Mel 1.7%. According to recent research, coffee roasting brings little change to caffeine in coffee beans.

Therefore, before choosing the kind of coffee to drink, choose the coffee beans to drink.

Who is decaf suitable for? Why drink it?

All coffee has caffeine in its natural state, and this chemical is seen as protecting coffee trees from pests and preventing seeds from competing for nutrients.

Caffeine has been used as a stimulant for thousands of years, but sometimes we don't want the side effect of coffee. However, in addition to this reason, there are more factors that make people choose decaf coffee rather than normal coffee, which of course includes public awareness of health problems.

2018 the American Coffee Association reported that 42 per cent of coffee drinkers chose decaf, most of whom were social youth. Some market studies have pointed out that consumers who choose decaf coffee are more willing to spend more money on coffee for the sake of quality.

How can I get decaf?

Decaf was invented by Ludwig Roselius in 1905. He used benzene to remove caffeine from raw coffee beans, and benzene, a chemical that has been shown to cause cancer, should now be on the market to remove caffeinated decaffeinated coffee.

But all modern decaffeinated techniques are derived from the same technique, first soaking raw coffee beans in water to dissolve caffeine in water to achieve the effect of removing caffeine.
