Decaffeinated coffee often has a reputation for poor taste. This loathing is largely attributed to the common methods of caffeine extraction. There are two most commonly used methods of decaffeination: First, chemicals are used to draw the caffeine and flavors out and then the flavors are subsequently soaked back into the beans. The second is to use carbon-dioxide-infused sparkling water to decaffeinate the beans. In either case, essential oils and flavors are removed and then soaked back into the bean before roasting. This process occurs while the coffee bean is still green. This can affect overall taste, and each method produces a different flavor range.
