If you’re looking for a premium decaf coffee that doesn’t compromise on taste or aroma, this is as good as it gets. The beans come in illy’s signature pressurised metal tin, which helps preserve freshness and aroma much better than most standard packaging. The tin looks smart on a shelf, and the pop you hear when opening it is always a sign of quality. The roast is medium, leaning toward the darker side of medium, and the beans have a lovely glossy sheen without being oily. The smell when grinding is rich and inviting — hints of chocolate, a touch of nuttiness, and a subtle floral edge. It's hard to believe it’s decaf just by the aroma alone. I brew mine with a bean-to-cup machine and occasionally a French press. In both cases, the results are consistently smooth, well-balanced, and full-flavoured. It doesn’t have that flat or bitter edge that many decaf coffees suffer from — instead, you get a rounded espresso with a soft crema, and notes of cocoa, caramel, and mild fruit. It works wonderfully with milk — in lattes and cappuccinos it holds up well without being overpowered, and in an americano, it remains bold but not harsh. Even when taken black, it remains mellow and enjoyable. One of the key highlights is how smooth it is — no harsh bitterness, no acidity overload. It’s ideal for people who love coffee but want to avoid caffeine for health or lifestyle reasons. In terms of the decaffeination process, illy uses a natural method that retains much of the flavour profile of their standard beans. I’ve compared it side-by-side with their caffeinated version and the difference is subtle — the decaf is maybe slightly milder, but still very much in the same premium league. If I had one tiny complaint, it’s that it is a little more expensive than other decafs on the market, but you’re paying for consistent, premium quality. For me, it’s absolutely worth it. In summary, illy’s decaffeinated beans deliver the full-bodied, smooth flavour that coffee lovers crave — without the caffeine. A fantastic choice for any decaf drinker who refuses to settle for second-best. Highly recommended.

Natural carbon dioxide is used in a subcritical condition (a liquid state) under low temperature and pressure. This process has excellent caffeine selectivity. This selectivity guarantees retention of the aroma and taste of the coffee. The green, unroasted coffee is immersed in warm water to open up the pores. The green coffee is then put into a pressurized tank with liquid carbon dioxide. The Co2 circulates through the coffee, drawing out the caffeine. The coffee is then put in an evaporator where the caffeine is separated from the Co2. After evaporation, the Co2 is re-condensed and the process repeated until the desired amount of caffeine is removed. The coffee is then discharged into a drier where it is dried to achieve its original moisture content. The coffee is now ready for roasting. Characteristics of Natural Liquid Carbon Dioxide Coffee Decaffeination Process are: The compounds responsible for the flavor and the taste in the roasted coffee and the cell structure are left intact. The coffee is 99.9% caffeine-free and only contacts safe natural substances; pure water and chemically inert carbon dioxide. The process is all-natural and is certified organic and kosher by the appropriate organizations and authorities. Illy Caffe Decaf is the same distinctive blend of top-quality Arabica beans as the illy caffeinated blend. Smooth and balanced flavor enhanced by light aromatic notes of caramel, chocolate, and nuts with a light flowery top note and sweet acidity. **Q: What decaffeination method is used?** A: Illy Caffe uses Natural Liquid Carbon Dioxide Decaffeination Process.

The flavor is rich and smooth, and it’s one of my favorites. However, this time the beans tasted a bit stronger and more intense than usual, which caught me by surprise. Still, the quality is good, and I will continue buying it, but I prefer the slightly milder taste I had in previous orders. ## Frequently Bought Together - illy Coffee - Decaf Coffee Beans - Medium Roast - 100% Arabica Whole Decaffeinated Coffee Beans - Ideal for Moka Pots, Filter Coffee, Espresso and Lungo Coffees - 250g Tin - illy Brazil Cerrado Mineiro Single Origin 100% Arabica Coffee Beans - Regenerative Agriculture Certified - Ideal For Moka Pots & Filter Coffee - 250g Tin - illy Coffee - Intenso Coffee Beans - Dark Roast - 100% Arabica Whole Coffee Beans - Ideal for Moka Pots, Filter Coffee, Espresso and Lungo Coffees - 250g Tin --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/53334472-decaffeinated-coffee-beans-100-arabica-blend-medium-roast-intensity-5](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/53334472-decaffeinated-coffee-beans-100-arabica-blend-medium-roast-intensity-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
