Zusammenfassung:A decaffeination process is disclosed wherein it is possible to significantly increase the overall rate of caffeine removal from green coffee. The process comprises pre-moistening green coffee and extracting the caffeine therefrom with successive contacts of an extraction medium while the system is maintained under constant agitation. By virtue of this process, overall decaffeination time can be markedly decreased or alternatively less severe extraction conditions can be employed.
