ViCAFE SPECIALTY DECAF COFFEE

ALL THE FLAVOUR,
WITH ZERO COMPROMISE.

We roast specialty-grade decaf coffee in Zurich, to the same standard as every other coffee in our portfolio.

OUR ViCAFE DECAF RANGE

FROM OUR HAUSMISCHUNG TO FINCA LOS NOGALES

Two decafs and one low-caf: the decaffeinated version of ViCAFE’s best-selling Hausmischung, plus two single origins from our partner farm Finca Los Nogales in Huila, Colombia; a farm we have sourced from for over 10 years.

Oscar Hernández is a third-generation coffee producer in Huila who develops selected varieties with ViCAFE. Not only was coffee from his farm used by the winner of the 2024 US Brewers Cup - Oscar is also a long-standing partner and a friend who visits us in Zurich regularly.

DID YOU KNOW?

The on-farm process behind the Farm Decaf is the same one that produced the coffee that won the 2024 US Brewers Cup award

HOW DO WE DECAFFEINATE OUR COFFEE

Subcritical CO2

Low temperature, low pressure, up to 7 days, considerably slower than standard CO2 methods. No chemical solvents, and more of the bean's original character stays intact.

Farm-level Natural Process

Decaffeinated at Finca Los Nogales itself, using a natural must made from the coffee's own pulp. The beans never travel to a separate plant, which also means a smaller carbon footprint.

FAQs

ViCAFE roasts specialty-grade decaf in Zürich under Swiss Roasting Champion Christoph Meier, from partner farm Finca Los Nogales, including a low-caf made with the same process behind the 2024 US Brewers Cup–winning coffee. ViCAFE is a certified B Corp.

Not when made with care. Same trusted farm, same specialty roast, standing beside our regular coffee, not below it.

Yes. Hausmischung and Los Nogales Decaf use subcritical CO2; Farm Decaf is processed on the farm itself using its own coffee pulp. Both methods are chemical-free.

Hausmischung and Los Nogales Decaf have almost all their caffeine removed. Farm Decaf is a low-caf, it keeps a little more, with notes of chocolate, raspberry and tutti-frutti.

Shop our full range online, as a regular purchase or coffee subscription, or purchase select decafs at our ViCAFE Espresso Bars or at 800+ Coop or Migros in select regions in Switzerland.

Yes we prepare our Decaf Hausmischung in all of our ViCAFE Espresso Bars.

Most people search for "koffeinfrei," but the correct term is "entkoffeiniert" (decaffeinated). Decaf coffee always retains a small trace of caffeine, up to 0.1% by law, so "caffeine-free" wouldn't be accurate.
