Imagine sipping your morning coffee, rich, aromatic and full of flavour, yet feeling calm and balanced afterwards. No caffeine buzz. No mid-afternoon crash. Just pure, satisfying coffee comfort.
Welcome to the world of sugarcane decaf, a gentle revolution in the cup for those who love the ritual of coffee but not the jitters that sometimes follow. It is changing the way cafés and home brewers across Australia think about decaf.
So what makes sugarcane decaf so special?
It begins with a natural process known as the Ethyl Acetate or EA method, sometimes called nature’s way of taking the edge off. Ethyl Acetate is a naturally occurring compound found in fruits and vegetables and is especially abundant in sugarcane. During decaffeination, this compound works like a magnet for caffeine, gently drawing it out of the bean while preserving the coffee’s natural character and complexity.
At Wolff Coffee Roasters, it all begins with exceptional green beans sourced responsibly from farmers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability. Once at the decaf facility, the beans take a gentle journey. They are soaked to open their pores, then treated with a naturally derived sugarcane compound that draws out the caffeine while protecting the coffee’s flavour integrity. A final rinse and steam complete the process, leaving behind coffee that is pure, balanced and unmistakably true to its origin.
The result is a decaf that actually tastes like coffee, smooth, full-bodied and subtly sweet, with just a hint of its sugarcane roots.
For cafés, it is a way to offer customers a caffeine-free option without compromise. For home brewers, it is the perfect late-night ritual or second-cup indulgence. Whether you brew it as espresso, pour-over or French press, you will enjoy a cup that is as rich and balanced as any fully caffeinated roast.
Here is a fun fact: Ethyl Acetate is often called nature’s decaffeinator. It is safe, sustainable and naturally derived, a far cry from the harsh chemical methods of the past. It is one more reason we are proud to use it as part of our commitment to responsible coffee craftsmanship.
At Wolff Coffee Roasters, we believe great coffee should do good at every stage of its journey. That is why our sugarcane decaf not only delivers exceptional flavour but also supports sustainable practices and ethical labour across the supply chain.
So next time you reach for a cup of Wolff’s sugarcane decaf AKA Zero Caffeine, take a moment to appreciate what is in, and not in, your cup: the care, the craft and the quiet confidence of a coffee that is sweet by nature.
