Caffeine in Decaff Coffee?

[cherryjerry]

Does anyone know how much caffeine is in decaff coffee as I have been told that there is still some in there even though it is called "Decaffinated Coffee"

Almost all brands of decaffeinated coffee still contain some caffeine.[7] Drinking five to ten cups of decaffeinated coffee could deliver as much caffeine as would one or two cups of regular coffee, according to research at the University of Florida Maples Center for Forensic Medicine.[8] In one independent research on 10 popular decaffeinated coffees, researchers found that all but one contained caffeine. The 16-ounce cups of coffee samples contained caffeine in the range of 8.6 milligrams to 13.9 milligrams. In another similar study of popular brands of decaf coffees, the caffeine content was anywhere from 3 milligrams and up to 32 milligrams.[9]

The need to remove caffeine could become unneeded if coffee growers begin using a naturally caffeine-free bean produced in June 2004.[10]

thats from wiki, it might be worth lookingn up the specific brand of coffee as well

Thanks Mccfluff for your detailed answer. Nestle UK came back detailing their processes of removing caffeine, finishing up by telling me that in their Original Decaff and Gold Blend Decaff there is 0.15g per 100g of coffee and Alta Rica Decaff there is 0.09g per 100gms so not 100% Caffeine Free!
