Decaf vs Regular Coffee: What's the Difference?

October 25, 2026 · Al-Aqeeq Team

Quick answerDecaf coffee has had most of its caffeine removed (in the US, typically at least 97%), leaving about 2-15 mg per cup versus 80-100 mg in regular coffee. Decaffeination uses water, CO2 or solvents before roasting. Flavor is similar, sometimes slightly milder.

Decaf methods

  • Swiss Water Process (water only)
  • CO2 process
  • Solvent methods (residues removed in roasting)

Choose based on you

Love the taste in the evening? A half-caf or small cup earlier in the day can also work. Al-Aqeeq currently offers regular whole-bean coffee.
