It’s fair to say that Alex has coffee running through his veins. At only eight years old, he was helping to clean down the tables and taking orders from customers at The Bean, his Mum’s popular coffee shop in Beeston.

By fourteen, he'd worked every role in the café, which gave him a valuable insight into the inner workings of a successful coffee business.

The Origin

The Legoman Decaf coffee from Cartwheel Coffee Roasters originates from the Popayan region of Colombia.

This decaf lot represents coffee from a group of 65 producers who contribute to the Popayan Regional program.

Cofinet has built a long-term relationship with these producers through its regional program, pushing producers to focus on quality.

The process works by soaking green coffee in a solution of Ethyl Acetate (EA), a naturally occurring solvent derived from sugar cane, which bonds to the caffeine molecules and allows for the removal of caffeine.

The coffee is steamed at low pressure to remove the E.A. compounds, with the finished product retaining its flavour integrity but containing almost no caffeine at all (0.01–0.03% caffeine).

Here’s an idea of what to expect from this Colombian Decaf coffee from Cartwheel coffee roasters.
