...nobody is using chlorinated solvents anymore.
It used to be tge primary way, but that started shifting to water 35 to 40 years ago.
The last of the conversions happened in the 90s.
The CO2 process is expensive, but removes FAR less of the flavor components so is way, way closer to unadulterated coffee. But, we pay for it.
I don't drink decaf because I generally agree with you. It doesn't taste the same.
