Buying organic is a great idea (and what my company specializes in) but TBH it's mostly to protect the farmers who would be exposed to the chemicals. After processing coffee cherries to seed, drying, and roasting at 400 degrees, there is no discernible pesticide residue for the coffee drinker.

Island, what do you think about the health risk of drinking conventionally-decaffeinated coffee?

Fla Mom, I always recommend water processed decaf. But in the grand scheme of things, I think the biggest health risk most people seem to experience from solvent based decafs is headaches. When you consider all the other crap people put in their bodies, even the worst decaf coffee is unlikely to be the thing that makes someone sick.
