Decaffeinated Coffee Beans

Decaf Coffee Beans for Cafés & Commercial Kitchens

Great coffee shouldn't come with the jitters.

Browse our full coffee beans range if you're also looking for caffeinated options.

We stock a curated selection of decaffeinated coffee beans processed using methods that preserve the bean's character rather than stripping it out. All our stock meets EU standards, containing no more than 0.1% caffeine by dry weight — meaning your customers get a genuinely caffeine-free experience, whether it's a 10am flat white or an after-dinner espresso.

Our Decaf Coffee Bean Range

Summit Mocha Brazil Decaffeinated Coffee Beans (500g) — A single-origin Brazilian decaf with a medium-dark roast profile that delivers notes of walnut and dark cocoa. It processes cleanly through commercial grinders, extracts consistently under pressure, and holds its flavour when steamed with milk — making it a reliable everyday decaf for any espresso-based menu. Available as a standard 500g bag or as a bulk buy for high-volume sites.

Seven Sisters Coffee Co. Swiss Water Decaf — For customers who care about how their decaf is made, this one delivers. The Swiss Water Process is 100% chemical-free, removing caffeine using only water while keeping the bean's natural flavour compounds intact. The result is a clean, well-rounded cup that doesn't taste like something has been taken out of it. Available in multiple sizes and well suited to bean-to-cup machines and traditional espresso machines alike.

Douwe Egberts UTZ Decaffeinated Coffee Beans (6 × 500g) — The commercial workhorse of the range. This case-format option is ideal for cafés and offices that go through volume and need a consistent, no-fuss decaf. UTZ certified for responsible sourcing, and priced at £89.95 per case for predictable cost control across your operation.

Prefer a Different Format?

Not every setup suits whole beans. If you're running a filter machine or an instant setup, take a look at our ground coffee, filter coffee, or coffee pods & capsules ranges for decaf-friendly alternatives across different formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are coffee beans decaffeinated?

There are three main methods. The Swiss Water Process uses only water — no chemicals — making it popular with specialty roasters. The CO2 process uses pressurised carbon dioxide to extract caffeine while preserving flavour. The ethyl acetate method uses a fruit-derived solvent to dissolve caffeine from the green beans before roasting. All our decaf beans are labelled with the process used.

Do decaf coffee beans still taste like proper coffee?

Yes — when decaffeination is done well, very little flavour is lost. Our Summit Mocha Brazil Decaf delivers walnut and dark cocoa notes, while the Seven Sisters Swiss Water Decaf is known for a clean, full-bodied cup. The key is buying quality beans from reputable roasters rather than cheap commodity decaf.

Can I use decaf beans in an espresso or bean-to-cup machine?

Yes. All our decaf coffee beans are suitable for traditional espresso machines, bean-to-cup machines, and commercial grinders. The Summit Mocha Brazil Decaf is specifically formulated for commercial use — extracting consistently under pressure and steaming reliably with milk.

How much caffeine is in decaffeinated coffee beans?

EU regulations require decaffeinated coffee beans to contain no more than 0.1% caffeine by dry weight. A standard espresso made from decaf beans contains roughly 2–5mg of caffeine, versus 60–120mg in a regular espresso. All ADS decaf beans comply with this standard.
