Green coffee extract is a solution containing the water-soluble components of green coffee except for the caffeine, obtained by soaking green coffee beans in hot water, then filtering through an activated charcoal filter to remove the caffeine molecules. Fresh beans containing both caffeine and the other components are added to the GCE solution, where the gradient pressure difference between the GCE (which is caffeine-deficient) and the green coffee (which is caffeine-rich) causes the caffeine molecules to migrate from the green coffee into the GCE. Because GCE is saturated with the other water-soluble components of green coffee, only the caffeine molecule migrates to the GCE; the other water-soluble coffee elements are retained in the green coffee. The newly caffeine-rich GCE solution is then passed through the activated carbon filters to remove the caffeine again, and the process is repeated.

They employ no automated or continuous feed technology. Each varietal is carefully roasted to a degree that will preserve and enhance its inherent and unique qualities. Our roasting style reflects the insight and philosophy of the Slow Food Movement, which we believe has a strongly discernible effect on the resulting taste and quality of our coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo terms specific to any roast cycle are “first crack” and “second crack.” These both refer to a physical transformation the beans undergo while roasting. Green coffee beans retain a lot of moisture and this moisture is continually evaporating during the roast cycle. When the coffee reaches about 395°F, the moisture evaporation builds up to the point of literally splitting the bean open, causing an audible noise known as first crack. Then, as the roast progresses, coffee naturally takes on CO2 during the roast cycle. If the roast goes long and dark enough – as we do with A Dark Affair – this buildup of CO2 will cause another physical and audible change in the makeup of the coffee, splitting the bean further and causing what is known as second crack.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% Arabica whole bean coffee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Balzac's Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23134204133434,"sku":"BALZACDARKAFFAIR","price":17.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/2381\/3434\/files\/Balzacs-Coffee-Roasters-A-Dark-Affair-Whole-B-0442.jpg?v=1778605328"},{"product_id":"balzacs-bards-blend-100-compostable-keurig®-coffee-pods-18-pack","title":"Balzac's Bard's Blend 100% Compostable Keurig® Coffee Pods, 18 Pack","description":"\u003cp\u003eInspired by the true bard himself, William Shakespeare, our Bards Blend is a captivating story in each sip with a dramatic finish.
