About Cafe Monteverde

How about a bundle?
Four single origins we're a bit obsessed with. We’ve picked out four seriously good coffees, all roasted to bring out their best, whether that’s bold and chocolatey or bright and fruity. Perfect for your Breville, DeLonghi, or whatever home setup you’re rocking.
Espressos? Yep. Flat whites? Of course. Long blacks? You bet. It’s like a world tour for your taste buds, without leaving the kitchen.
Absolutely NOT the run of the mill. Absolutely IS delicious.

Por qué no los dos?

-
Decaf coffee can be processed using either chemical or chemical-free methods. While some methods use solvents like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate to remove caffeine, others, like the Swiss Water Process and CO2 method, are entirely natural and free of added chemicals.
We only use Swiss Water, Mountain Water or Sugarcane processed decaf coffee.
-
The Swiss Water Process is a chemical-free method of decaffeinating coffee that uses only water, temperature, and time to gently remove caffeine while preserving the coffee’s flavor compounds. This process involves soaking green coffee beans in a caffeine-free green coffee extract (GCE), allowing the caffeine to diffuse out while keeping the essential oils and flavours intact.
-
Sugarcane process coffee, also known as ethyl acetate (EA) decaf, uses a natural solvent derived from fermented sugarcane to remove caffeine. This method retains the coffee’s natural sweetness and flavor while avoiding harsh chemicals.
This is our preferred decaf, as it taste the best. -
Mountain Water Process coffee is a chemical-free decaffeination method that uses pure water from Mexico’s Pico de Orizaba mountain to remove caffeine while preserving flavor compounds. This process relies on water saturation, temperature control, and carbon filtration to gently extract caffeine without compromising the coffee’s taste.
Basically the same as Swiss Water Process, but not Swiss.. you know? -
Water-processed decaf coffee, like the Swiss Water Process, uses only water to remove caffeine while preserving flavor. In contrast, the sugarcane process (or ethyl acetate process) uses a natural solvent derived from fermented sugarcane to gently extract caffeine, often resulting in a slightly sweeter flavor.

It is surprisingly good. Everyone says so.
