Coffee production involves several steps from harvesting coffee cherries to packaging the final product. The cherries are pulped to remove the pulp, then fermented to soften the beans. They are dried and the final layers of skin removed to produce green coffee beans. The beans are then roasted, ground, and boiled in hot water to extract the flavors. The liquid is concentrated, spray dried to powder, and may be agglomerated into clusters for packaging as instant coffee.

COFFEE

INTRODUCTION
Coffee production is the industrial process of
converting the raw fruit of the coffee plant
(cherry) into the finished coffee.
Coffee quality depends on varieties, climate,
cropping and processing.
Several presentations (whole, roasted, ground
roasted, instant, decaffeinated, etc.).
Main process includes stages in field and stages
in factory.

TYPES OF COFFEE
Cherry (fresh raw berry)

TYPES OF COFFEE
Parchment coffee (pulp
removed). Yield 23%

Green coffee (parchment


removed). Yield 18%

TYPES OF COFFEE
Whole roasted coffee.
Yield 15%

Ground roasted coffee

TYPES OF COFFEE
Decaffeinated coffee. Caffeine has been extracted
with a solvent (eg. methylene chloride or ethyl
acetate) or water vapor and filtered with
activated carbon.
Espresso. Coffee makers
heat water above the
boiling point to create an
overpressure.
Instant coffee. To make it
soluble for rehydration.

FIELD PROCESSING

PULPING
Pulping is intended to
remove the pulp from
the berries.
Friction machines are
used.
A slobbery coffee is
obtained.

FERMENTATION
To soften and loosen mucilaginous layer
surrounding the beans.
Types: Natural, with enzymes, alkaline digestion.
Pectin is degraded

FERMENTATION
Beneficial microbial growth such as Enterococcus
(lactic acid producer) takes place, and pH drops to
6.8 to 4.3
Aromatic and flavoring compounds are developed

DRYING
To reduce moisture
content to 11-12%.

Natural drying
Rotary dryers (6570C).

GRADING / SORTING /
PACKAGING

To get good and uniform product


Grading criteria are size and color
This is intended for parchment coffee
Usual package is jute and PP sacks

TO GET GREEN COFFEE


Last layers of dry skin are removed.
A hulling is performed to remove the crumbly
parchment skin.

TO GET GREEN COFFEE


Hulling is done with the help of
machines, which can range
from simple millstones to
sophisticated machines that
gently whack at the coffee.
Polishing is an optional
process, in which any silver
skin that remains on the beans
after hulling is removed in a
polishing machine.
