The removal of caffeine from coffee using the sugarcane decaffeination process is a unique and natural method, often referred to as the sugarcane ethyl acetate method. This process involves removing caffeine from coffee beans using ethyl acetate – an organic solvent that occurs naturally in many fruits and can also be produced as a byproduct of sugarcane processing. It is one of the popular decaffeination methods because it is relatively natural and preserves the coffee's flavor.
