Five Ways Coffee Roasters
Colombia - DECAF - Sugarcane
Welcome to the Five Ways caffeine addiction rehabilitation page! Here, we provide you with the solution to overcome those unpleasant "shakes" while still savouring the familiar taste you love. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to the sugarcane process for making this possible.
The Sugarcane process has emerged as a novel technique, prompting intrigue and raising doubts about its true nature as a decaffeinated option. This innovative approach harnesses ethyl acetate (EA), a naturally occurring by-product derived from sugar production (molasses). The process is simple and and follows these steps:
- The coffee beans are moistened with water and EA is circulated throughout.
- During this process, ethyl acetate interacts with the caffeine within the coffee bean, extracting the caffeine while preserving the majority of the flavour compounds.
- Once the desired caffeine level is achieved, the beans undergo a steaming process to eliminate any remaining residue of ethyl acetate.
- Natural EA is obtained from the sugar cane industry around Palmira, Colombia and is, together with spring water, the only other substance the coffee gets in contact with.
Regret free decaf! You have to try it to believe it.

- Choose the right container: It's important to store your coffee beans in an airtight container. Look for a container made of a material that won't absorb odors, like glass or ceramic. Avoid using plastic containers, as they can impart a plastic-like taste to the coffee.
- Keep the container away from light: Coffee beans are sensitive to light, which can cause them to degrade more quickly. Store your coffee container in a dark place, such as a pantry or cupboard.
- Keep the container away from heat: Heat can also cause coffee beans to degrade. Avoid storing your coffee container near a heat source, such as a stove or oven.
- Store at room temperature: Coffee beans should be stored at room temperature, between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid storing coffee beans in the refrigerator or freezer, as moisture can cause them to spoil and lose their flavor.
- Use whole beans: It's best to store whole coffee beans rather than ground coffee. Ground coffee has a larger surface area, which makes it more vulnerable to oxidation and degradation.
- Avoid air exposure: Exposure to air can cause coffee beans to oxidize, which can lead to a stale or sour taste
