The Swiss Water Process was developed by the Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee Company. To decaffeinate the coffee bean by the Swiss Water method, a batch of green (unroasted) beans is soaked in hot water, releasing caffeine. When all the caffeine and coffee solids are released into the water, the beans are discarded. The water then passes through a carbon filter that traps caffeine but lets the coffee solids pass through. The resulting solution, called "flavor-charged" water by the company, is then put in a similar filtration device, and new coffee beans are added. Since the flavor-charged water cannot remove any of the coffee solids from the new beans, only the caffeine is released. The process repeats, filtering out all the caffeine until the beans are 99.9% caffeine free. These beans are removed and dried, and thus retain most if not all of their flavour and smell. Other decaffeinated processes use claims such as "water process" or "natural process", when in actuality chemicals are used. Methylene chloride or ethyl acetate is used in processes like the Direct Method or the Indirect Method. Sometimes coffees which are decaffeinated using ethyl acetate are referred to as a natural process because ethyl acetate can be derived from various fruits or vegetables, but because of the impracticality of gathering natural ethyl acetate, the chemical used for decaffeination is synthetic. Many companies affiliated with coffee have recognized that the Swiss Water method is the most beneficial and recognizable decaffeination process. The Coffee Beanery, a Michigan based company, provides Swiss Water Process decaffeinated coffee. The Coffee Beanery has many stores located nationally as well as internationally. Among many caffeinated coffee bean choices, the company also offers straight SWP coffees as well as several flavored SWP coffees. With SWP flavors such as Café Carmel, French Vanilla, Toasted Almond, and Michigan Cherry, any decaf coffee drinker will have their coffee needs met.

There are two basic methods for decaffinating coffee. There is the Swiss water process, which involves a series of water rinses to rid the beans of caffeine.

How do youget caffeine out of coffee?
Decaffeination is the process through which caffeine is removed from whole coffee beans. Water Decaffeination is the most popularly employed method to decaffeinate coffee. Water method simply uses water to extract caffeine from coffee without using any chemical solvents. One of the most famous water decaffeination methods is called Swiss water decaffeination. Water decaffeination is a non-toxic process that does not change the flavour or aroma of the coffee beans. Another method uses carbon dioxide to remove caffeine. In this process, the combination of high temperature and pressure enables carbon dioxide to become a solvent. The oldest method man has used to extract caffeine from coffee involves soaking the coffee beans in a caffeine-absorbing solvent. The caffeine soaks into the solvent and the solvent containing the caffeine is separated from the beans. The process of soaking and extraction is repeated over and over until the caffeine level reaches the desired level
