FROM THE ROASTER

The sugarcane EA (ethyl acetate) decaffeination process is a natural and eco-friendly method for removing caffeine from coffee beans. In this process, ethyl acetate, which is derived from sugarcane, is used to extract the caffeine from the coffee beans.

Compared to other decaffeination methods, the sugarcane EA process is considered to be more natural and environmentally friendly. It does not use harsh chemicals or leave behind any harmful residues. Additionally, the use of sugarcane-derived ethyl acetate helps support sustainable agriculture and reduces the carbon footprint of the decaffeination process.

ABOUT MIKKO

It all began in 2014 with the opening of Mikko Espresso in Hudson, Québec. Soon after, Kaito Coffee opened its roasting facility within the same premises, enjoying a fruitful partnership. To propel the businesses into a new era of growth, the brands fully merged under the Mikko moniker in 2023.

With mindfulness and transparency as guiding values, Mikko continually strives to make the most delicious and sustainable coffee, and to share what they love with others who care as deeply as they do.

In the meantime, they’re simply doing their part to reveal something beautiful—one coffee at a time.
