The history of coffee is rich, dating back to the 15th century, but decaffeinated coffee only emerged around the turn of the 20th century. Ludwig Roselius invented the decaffeination process in 1905 after a personal family tragedy. His method initially used harmful solvents but has evolved to safer methods today. Decaf coffee, marketed as a health-oriented luxury product, quickly found an audience and even became popular among the Nazi Party in the 1930s, showcasing its significant cultural impact.
Roselius's process for decaffeinating coffee beans stemmed from a personal tragedy, driving him to invent a safer alternative that eventually shaped drinking habits.
Marketed as a luxury wellness item, decaf coffee gained popularity post-invention, eventually becoming the drink of choice for the Nazi Party in the 1930s.
