James, Chertsey
Answer
Name: Dave, Chichester
Qualification: Found out that he was drinking too much coffee which lead to heart palpitations. He then switched to decaffeinated coffee and wanted to look up whether it is good for the body or not.
Answer: There are two ways to get decaffeinated coffee. The first method is to take green coffee beans and immerse them in a solvent which dissolves the caffeine and extracts decaffeinated coffee. The other method is called the ‘Swiss water method’ and is completed by heating up the coffee beans and extracting through osmosis.
