C.I. Racafe Swiss Water Decaf - Espresso | Monogram Coffee

Clean, Familiar, and Built for Every Day.

Not every decaf needs to be an adventure. Sometimes you just want a beautifully balanced espresso that pulls consistently, tastes great in milk, and never gets in its own way. That's exactly what the C.I. Racafe Swiss Water Decaf delivers.

Sourced from C.I. Racafe in Colombia's Medellín region, this lot uses carefully selected Caturra and Castillo varieties, fully washed before being sent for decaffeination using the Swiss Water Process. The result is a clean, smooth, and approachable espresso with familiar comfort in every cup. Roasted to Monogram's Sweet Spot, it pulls reliably and pairs effortlessly with milk for lattes, flat whites, and cappuccinos.

About the Swiss Water Process

Unlike sugarcane EA decaffeination, the Swiss Water Process uses only water, time, and a proprietary Green Coffee Extract to gently remove caffeine while preserving the coffee's natural flavour compounds. The process is 100% chemical-free and certified organic, making it a popular choice for those who want a clean and transparent decaffeination method.
