mentioned before that i've showed up late everywhere while posting music online.  before myspace lost my music i got a friend request from "hexane chicane".  at the time i listened to their music, decided it wasn't a bad fit and added them to my page.  i didn't think much of it at the time, thought maybe it was either a commentary on or a tribute to the musician chicane.  eventually it did get me to look up hexane online.

i may have searched for this otherwise, forget when i first looked it up.  it would have been before myspace lost my music.

anyway, using complex hydrocarbons as solvents for processing food isn't pleasant.  i shouldn't have anything against decaffeinated coffee either, but don't want to drink anything processed with ethyl acetate.

not as bad as hexane, but that doesn't mean it tastes good either.

 

first thing that comes to mind might be cold pressed olive oil.  it's actually pretty popular.

you also might give decaf another try if all you didn't like was the taste.

personally, it's just easier drinking regular coffee.

 

really isn't any point in seeing hexane's continued use to process corn into corn oil.  curious that no successful action has been taken to prevent it, even just because it's not cost effective.
