Discover how coffee beans are extracted from fruit through washed or natural processes, and why processing affects flavor and quality.

Ever wondered how your favorite coffee beans start life? Before they’re roasted and ground, every coffee bean begins as a fruit—typically a bright red coffee cherry. But getting from that cherry to the green bean you brew involves a complex series of steps that greatly influence the coffee’s final taste, cleanliness, and quality.
