Our Top 8 has plenty of roasters you can trust

Decaffeinated coffee can be disappointing. Without the caffeine kick that gives us a perceived or real energy lift, what can be left is a bland drink that becomes even more bland when we add milk. But in the hands of good roasters, there is hope, and today’s challenge was to find the best of them.

Introduced in 1906 by Ludwig Roselius in Bremen, Café Hag was the first decaf on the market. However, the decaffeination process, which involved using chemical solvents to extract the caffeine, received bad press. Since then, water has been used to extract caffeine through Swiss water extraction or sugar cane and water.
