The water is then filtered through activated charcoal to remove the caffeine while retaining the flavor compounds. The beans are re-soaked in this flavor-rich, caffeine-free water to reabsorb their original taste profile. No chemical solvents are used at any stage — making it a clean, chemical-free decaffeination method preferred by health-conscious consumers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBrewing Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrew Method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGrind Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended Ratio\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrip Coffee Maker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent (fine grind)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 tbsp per 6 fl oz water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePour Over\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1:15 coffee to water ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoka Pot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExcellent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFill basket level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCold Brew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot recommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse coarse grind for cold brew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrench Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot recommended\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse coarse grind for French press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep lid tightly sealed after each use to preserve freshness and aroma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not refrigerate or freeze opened coffee — moisture causes flavor degradation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest used within 2-4 weeks of opening for peak flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the best-by date printed on the bottom of the tin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout Kirkland Signature Decaf Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKirkland Signature is Costco's private label brand, known for delivering warehouse-club quality at competitive prices. The Decaffeinated Coffee line (Item #46242) uses a blend of select beans from the Americas, decaffeinated without chemicals via the water process method. The result is a dark roast with a deep, robust color and a sweet, full-bodied aroma that closely mirrors the experience of a regular dark roast — without the caffeine. OU Kosher certified for consumers with dietary requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs \"99.7% caffeine free\" truly decaffeinated?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes. The FDA defines decaffeinated coffee as coffee that has had at least 97% of its original caffeine removed. Kirkland Signature Decaf exceeds this standard at 99.7% caffeine free. A typical 8 fl oz cup of regular coffee contains 80-100mg of caffeine; the same cup of this decaf would contain approximately 2-3mg — a negligible amount for most people, including those sensitive to caffeine.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat does \"water process\" mean and why does it matter?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eWater process decaffeination removes caffeine using only water and activated charcoal filters — no chemical solvents such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate are used. This is important for consumers who prefer to avoid chemical residues in their food and for those following organic or clean-label dietary preferences. The water process is also the method used in Swiss Water Process certified coffees, though this product is not specifically Swiss Water Process certified.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs this coffee compatible with automatic drip coffee makers?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes. Kirkland Signature Decaf Coffee is fine ground, which is the standard grind size for automatic drip coffee makers, including flat-bottom and cone-filter machines. It is not recommended for French press or cold brew, which require a coarser grind. It works well in Moka pots and pour-over brewers with fine-grind compatibility.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/kirkland-colombian-coffee-dark-roast-3lb\"\u003eKirkland Signature 100% Colombian Coffee 3 lb\u003c\/a\u003e (with caffeine).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more pantry staples in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grocery-gourmet-food\"\u003eGrocery \u0026amp; Gourmet Food\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kirkland Signature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45719317086399,"sku":"KIRKLAND-DECAF-DARKROAST-3LB","price":43.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/0397\/0213\/files\/image_dc230d1c-1a68-4563-8f82-a605ab83b7db.png?v=1781214171","url":"https:\/\/realprimedeals.com\/products\/kirkland-decaf-coffee-dark-roast-3lb","provider":"Real Prime Deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
