Love the vid! If you guys could turn up the audio I would appreciate it. With it all the way up It was still a little quiet from by little Bluetooth speaker

Love your presentation! I actually learned a lot
@Firmus777 6 years ago

Why aren't we using the leftover caffeine to make extracaffeinated coffee? I would buy that.

Very enlightening, thank you for sharing!

I work in the only plant in the world that is currently doing critical CO2 decaffeination (in Texas). This process is remarkable but very expensive/complex to design and implement. Great video and drink on!

You go boy!! That was well explained😊
@TheNoiseySpectator 6 years ago

I've always wondered this, too.

So the question is how do a consumer know which way the beans were decaffeinated? Does the packet contain that information?
@calc1588 2 years ago

Great vid Greg - what's your favourite Nespresso compatible decaf pod? The various makers don't seem to make apparent which methodology they use ....
@hayman122 6 years ago

I think the real question is how do we get the coffee out of the caffine.
@JackPott554 6 years ago

Great one this one, like the slightly longer ones

Coffee only drags me to the world of explosive diarrhea

I always love the videos with Greg. Such a good presenter. By the way, who is responsible for the "comments" within the videos? :)
