Fresh coffee bean processing tips
Coffee is a must-have drink for many people every morning, and a cup of delicious coffee is inseparable from fresh coffee beans. How to process fresh coffee beans with a rich taste and overflowing aroma? The following will reveal the secrets for you.
Choose high-quality green beans
To make high-quality fresh coffee beans, you first need to select high-quality green beans. High-quality green beans usually have a complete and uniform appearance, without blemishes or insects. In addition, you should also pay attention to choosing green beans produced in high altitude areas, with suitable climate and fertile soil.
Remove the peel and pulp
Before processing can begin, the harvested, ripe coffee cherries need to be processed. The skin and pulp must first be removed. This can be done manually or using mechanical equipment.
Fermentation process
After removing the peel and pulp, the next step is the fermentation process. Put the peeled coffee beans into the fermentation tank and add the appropriate amount of water. The fermentation process usually takes 24 to 48 hours, which can be adjusted according to the specific situation.
Wash and dry
After fermentation, the coffee beans need to be washed and dried. Put the coffee beans in water to thoroughly wash away any residue and dry them. You can choose to dry them naturally or use mechanical equipment.
Baking process
Roasting is a key step in making fresh coffee beans with a strong taste and overflowing aroma. During the roasting process, temperature, time and heat need to be strictly controlled. Generally speaking, high-temperature and fast roasting will make the coffee beans taste bitter; low-temperature and slow roasting will make the taste bland. Therefore, when choosing the appropriate roasting method, the optimal parameters should be determined according to different types of green beans.
Storage and preservation
After completing the above steps, fresh coffee beans need to be stored and preserved. Put the roasted coffee beans in a sealed container to avoid exposure to the air. At the same time, the storage environment temperature should also be appropriate to avoid excessively high or low temperatures that affect the quality of the coffee beans.
Conclusion
Through the above steps, we can make fresh coffee beans with rich taste and overflowing aroma. Selecting high-quality green beans, removing the skin and pulp, fermentation process, washing and drying, roasting, and storage and preservation are all essential links in making high-quality coffee. I hope these processing techniques can help you make better coffee.
