Im not sure, I havent heard of that. Our pedi was referring to standard decaf, like the nastiness @venice4504 referred to., thats all I know =o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decaf-coffee#post-9952 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 10:18:46 +0000 venice4504 9952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of the solvents commonly used to take the caffeine out of the beans in the soaking process:<br /> trichloroethylene: (chloronated hydrocarbon) it's something that if you smell a lot of it it can be used as an anesthesia</p> <p>methylene chloride: widely used as a paint stripper and/or a degreaser. Some studies have shown it could be categorized as a carcinogenic </p> <p>ethyl acetate: same stuff you see in nail polish remover, glues and an additive in cigarettes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decaf-coffee#post-9930 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 09:36:17 +0000 cvbee 9930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find my decaf tastes the same. It's a swiss water process decaf....I think the brand is like Reunion Island or something like that, and I use it in my espresso machine. Tastes just like normal to me. But then again, I went 2 months with no coffee at all, so maybe I just forget. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decaf-coffee#post-6200 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 17:25:08 +0000 chopsuey 6200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink Starbucks decaf vanilla lattes..! yummm :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decaf-coffee#post-6192 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 16:43:36 +0000 Red 6192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @Livsmama. Interesting, I'll do some research on the decaf chemicals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decaf-coffee#post-6177 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:40:20 +0000 miranlee 6177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@livsmama--does that apply for water processed decaf coffee? It's supposed to be better and filters caffeine out without chemicals. I hope so! That's what I've been drinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decaf-coffee#post-6158 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 12:31:47 +0000 LivsMama 6158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Keurig and I ordered one from Green Mountain I think it was? And Donut Shop Decaf. Both were ok. Actually though, Ive never heard this prior to my appt, but at our 3 month well visit, Livs pedi told us that decaf was actually worse for you and the baby because of all the chemicals they use to decaffeinate the coffee. Caffiene doesnt affect her in moderation (1 or 2 cups, before 4pm) so Ive just been going lightly on the caffeine. But if you want the taste, the Donut Shop one wasnt too bad :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/decaf-coffee#post-6149 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 11:47:39 +0000 Red 6149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is almost 11 months and I'm still drinking decaf cause caffeine (from my breastmilk) gets her wired up and unable to fall asleep. So far, I've tried Starbucks, Peets, and a few other decafs and the only one that comes close to tasting like normal coffee is the Costco Kirkland Decaf ground. </p> <p>Have you tried any good ones that don't taste like coffee-flavored water? </p>
