The way of harvesting coffee varies from place to place, mainly divided into hand-picking method and shaking method. The harvest season is from September of each year to January of the following year. The process of removing impurities from the harvested fruit and turning it into a "raw bean" is called "refining". The following is the general coffee-making process:

1. Peeling: the fruit must be peeled after screening (but there are a few early methods to dry and then peel)

two。 Solarization: natural drying is used in most countries. If the sun drying is smooth, the water content is about 11Mui 12%. Generally, the water content of raw coffee beans for export is 12Mui 13%.

3. Shelling: at present, shelling machines have been mostly used.

4. Roasting: coffee roasting is divided into shallow roasting, medium roasting, deep roasting, currently divided into mechanical roasting and manual roasting.

The materials to be prepared need to be:

About two kilos of coffee beans.

A rod face stick (if there is no rod face stick, you can use a heat preservation cylinder or a large treasure bottle filled with water instead. )

A washbasin.

Manufacturing method

1. Fill the washbasin with water and pour the fresh coffee beans into the water. The purpose is to identify good coffee beans, good beans will sink to the bottom of the basin, and poor quality coffee beans will float on the surface. )

two。 Wash the coffee beans that have sunk to the bottom of the basin and spread them on a flat floor. Put pressure on it with a rod face stick (a thermal cylinder, or a large bottle filled with water).

3. Remove the peel and spread the coffee beans flat on the ground to dry. If it is summer, you usually need to spend 3 days in the sun. In other seasons, the intensity of the sun increases or decreases.

4. Shell the dried beans on the ground again and repeat the action of method 2.

5. Removing the shell is the raw bean we are going to bake.
