The CO2Process, developed by Kurt Zosel, similarly extracts just the caffeine chemical but does so with liquid CO2 rather than GCE. In CO2 decaffeination, green beans are immersed in a sealed water container known as an extraction chamber. Liquid CO2 is then forced at a pressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch into the extraction chamber, drawing the caffeine out of the green beans and dissolving it. Once the caffeine is successfully extracted, the caffeine-rich CO2 is transferred from the extraction chamber to a low pressure absorption chamber that allows the CO2 to return to a gaseous, caffeine-free state. The CO2 process is a natural, safe process that preserves the beans’ innate chemical makeup. The result is wonderfully, rich, flavorful coffee.
