Essential tools and steps for making your own coffee beans

Coffee is an essential drink in many people's daily lives, and making your own coffee beans can bring a more authentic and personalized taste. To successfully make your own coffee beans, we need to prepare some necessary tools and follow specific steps. This article will focus on this and introduce the tools and steps required to make your own coffee beans in detail.

1. Preparation of raw materials

First, we need to prepare the raw material - fresh coffee cherries. These cherries can usually be purchased at local markets or stores specializing in selling agricultural products. Choose cherries that are moderately mature, intact in appearance, uniform in color, and have no obvious signs of decay.

2. Peeling and fermentation

Soak the purchased coffee berries in clean water for a while, then gently rub them with your hands to remove the pulp and skin. After removing the skin, put the remaining part into a container for fermentation. The fermentation time and temperature depend on the type of coffee beans and personal taste preference, and generally take 24-48 hours.

3. Drying and baking

Dry the fermented coffee beans. You can choose to dry them naturally or use a roaster to speed up. If you choose to dry them naturally, you need to place the coffee beans in a well-ventilated, cool place without direct sunlight to ensure complete drying. If you use a roaster, follow the machine's instructions.

4. Grinding and storage

When the coffee beans are completely dried, we can use a professional coffee grinder to grind them into the desired particle size. Different brewing methods have different requirements for particle size, so adjust the particle size according to personal preference and brewing method.

Finally, after completing all the steps, please store the newly brewed coffee beans in a sealed container in a cool place away from direct sunlight and with appropriate humidity (relative humidity is about 60%-70%). This will keep the freshness and taste of the coffee beans.

Summarize

Making your own coffee beans requires some necessary tools and specific steps, but it can bring a more authentic and personalized taste experience. By selecting fresh coffee cherries, peeling and fermenting, drying and roasting, grinding and preserving, we can make our own specialty coffee beans.
