SWISS WATER DECAF

This is no ordinary decaf coffee. We use the all-natural Swiss Water® Process for decaffeination to preserve the most amount of freshly roasted coffee flavour from our beans. Available in either decaf beans, ground, decaf coffee bags or decaf Nespresso® compatible pods.

DECAF FAQS

The Swiss Water® Process removes caffeine using only water, no chemicals, no solvents, nothing artificial. Green coffee beans are soaked in hot water to draw out the caffeine, then the water is filtered through activated charcoal to remove it. The flavour compounds stay in; the caffeine comes out. It's the cleanest method of decaffeination available, and it's what Mozzo uses across our entire decaf range. If another decaf doesn't mention the process, that's usually a sign.

The Swiss Water® Process removes 99.9% of caffeine, so there's a trace amount left, but it's genuinely negligible. A standard cup of Swiss Water® decaf contains around 1–2mg of caffeine, compared to 80–120mg in a regular cup. For most people, including those with caffeine sensitivity, that's a safe and satisfying swap. If you have specific medical concerns, it's worth a quick check with your GP.

We'd never put our name on it if it didn't. Our decaf range uses the Swiss Water® Process specifically because it preserves flavour better than solvent-based alternatives. The result is a cup that's genuinely hard to tell apart from our caffeinated coffees, same richness, same depth, same Mozzo quality. Just without the buzz. If you've been burned by bad decaf before, give ours a try. It tends to change minds.

All of them. Our decaf is available as whole beans, fresh ground, espresso, filter coffee, Nespresso® compatible pods and coffee bags. Whether you've got a machine, a cafetiere or just a kettle, there's a Mozzo decaf option for your setup. Same Swiss Water® Process throughout, same quality, different format.

Yes, our Decaf Espresso is available as whole beans or freshly ground, roasted and profiled specifically for espresso extraction. It pulls a rich, full-bodied shot with the same character you'd expect from our caffeinated espresso range. Perfect for an evening espresso or any time you want the ritual without the caffeine.

This is a common myth worth clearing up. Roast level doesn't meaningfully change the caffeine content in Swiss Water® decaf, because the caffeine is removed before roasting. Whether you're drinking our dark roast or a lighter roast, the decaffeination is the same, 99.9% gone. What roast level does change is flavour: darker roasts give more chocolate and malt notes; lighter roasts are brighter and more fruit-forward.

Not completely, Swiss Water® decaf retains around 0.1% of its original caffeine, typically 1–2mg per cup. For most people, that's genuinely negligible. If you're highly caffeine-sensitive or have been advised to cut it out entirely, it's worth knowing that even the best decaf isn't absolute zero. But for the vast majority, Swiss Water® decaf is a perfectly safe option at any time of day.
