• "The decaf drinker doesn't expect to pay more per cup even though decaffeination is costly, so cheaper beans are used to keep the cost down:"
• "The good news/bad news: the good news is that contrary to rumor all commercial decaffeination methods are safe (no harmful chemicals in the finished brewed product - and no need to pay a premium for Swiss Water® or other so-called "chemical free" methods)."
• "The bad news is that all decaffeination methods remove considerable flavor and aroma from the coffee, which means that in order for the decaf to taste great, the beans chosen for decaffeination need to be stellar."
