Can Women Drink Decaf Coffee During Pregnancy?

  We're often asked this question: Can you or I drink  decaffeinated coffee  while pregnant? For many people,  decaf coffee  is still heavily associated with being pregnant. It's a really important question: 'How much coffee can I drink when I'm pregnant?' There is still a lot of confusion about how much caffeine pregnant mums can drink and this is what this post is all about.   The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' advice is to limit caffeine intake to 200 milligrams per day - the equivalent to two cups of instant coffee.   According to the NHS, if you’re pregnant, you should really limit the amount of caffeine you consume to 200 milligrams (mg) a day, which is the equivalent of one cup of filter coffee or 2 cups of instant coffee.

The term "decaffeinated," which refers to the idea of removing caffeine from coffee, is abbreviated as "decaf."   There are multiple methods of decaffeination. The most-common methods of decaffeination involves chemical solvents usually ethyl acetate or  methylene Chloride. These methods are definitely less desirable than the all natural, certified organic 100% chemical free Swiss Water method of decaffeination, which is what we do at Blue Spruce Decaf Coffee Co.   While many people are familiar with decaf coffee, decaf espresso may not be as widely known.   Some folks are under the impression that espresso is simply coffee with more caffeine. This may be the reason why most people are unclear about decaf espresso. While espresso can have more caffeine per ounce than your regular cup of coffee, it’s not the caffeine that makes it espresso.   ...
