The Coffee
Our Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee means you can enjoy a delicious brew without the caffeine.
First developed in Switzerland and now prepared under licence, the Swiss Water Process is notably popular. This chemical-free process uses only pure water as the prime means of extracting the caffeine.
We roast this coffee to a medium colour although because of the process it looks rather darker than a caffeinated coffee.
The medium roast creates a naturally sweet and rich cup. You will experience notes of dates and chocolate, and a fig roll flavour.
NOTE: If you use this coffee in an espresso machine, we recommend you buy beans and grind your own coffee as the fineness of the grounds can vary quite considerably according to which kind of machine you are using.
The Hidden Ingredient: How Water Chemistry Shapes the Perfect Cup
When it comes to brewing a perfect cup, we often focus on sourcing the highest quality coffee beans or tea leaves, choosing our preferred brew method, and fine tuning our favourite recipes. But there’s one crucial element that is often overlooked - water.

Introducing El Salvador Finca El Ingenio
We’re often asked when the next new coffee is coming. The truth is, bringing a new coffee into the H.R.Higgins range is never rushed. It’s a process that takes time, care and a great deal of tasting.
Finca El Ingenio is the result — a distinctive coffee grown on a sixth-generation farm in El Salvador’s Ahuachapán region. Shade grown, Rainforest Alliance certified and honey processed, it offers bright grapefruit and lime, tropical fruit and a smooth fudge-like sweetness, with just a hint of funk.
