Decaffeinating coffee happens before the beans are roasted and can be done in various ways. Some methods use only water, others use carbon dioxide or special solvents. Each approach affects flavour, aroma and character. Time to dive into it calmly.

What exactly is decaffeinated coffee?

Decaffeinated coffee is basically just coffee. It starts with the same green coffee beans as any other coffee, but with most of the caffeine removed from these beans. This happens before roasting, when the bean can better retain its flavours and aromas. After this process, the beans are roasted in the same way as regular coffee beans.

Important to know: decaffeinated coffee is not completely free of caffeine. There is always a tiny residual amount left. In practice, you hardly notice this while still enjoying the flavour and coffee moment without the stimulating effect.

Fancy something sweet with your coffee? Raisin coffee rolls are soft, lightly sweet buns that taste delicious with a warm cup of coffee or tea. The raisins add a fruity bite and make the whole thing extra moist. You can easily bake them yourself with a few basic ingredients and a bit of patience. Fresh from the oven they’re at their best, but even cooled down they’re a treat.

Why do we call them coffee rolls?

Raisin coffee rolls get their name from the time they’re most often eaten, namely with coffee. They are soft, lightly sweet buns filled with raisins or custard that perfectly suit a coffee moment in the morning or afternoon.

They’re just sturdy enough to eat with your hands, but airy enough not to feel heavy. In the Netherlands, coffee rolls have been popular in bakeries and supermarkets for years, but homemade ones are truly irresistible.
