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.

Coffee & Culture on Mount Street
Since 1942, H.R.Higgins has been part of Mayfair’s story. From our shop on Duke Street, just a few steps from Mount Street, we have welcomed generations of customers in search of something exceptional. Next week, that story continues as we take part in the Mount Street Arts Festival, running from 13 to 18 October 2025.

“At its beginning H.R.Higgins (Coffee-man) had to be wholesale only because, as my father says in his diary, you couldn’t expect retail customers to climb up five flights of stairs.”
