From selecting high-quality coffee beans, roasting, grinding, to careful brewing, each link is full of surprises. In the hands of the barista, the coffee beans gradually exude an attractive aroma and turn into cups of delicious coffee. This journey allows people to gain a deep understanding of the charm of coffee and feel the miracle of this wonderful transformation.

In the busy city life, a cup of fragrant coffee can often bring people a moment of tranquility. How does this intoxicating cup of coffee evolve from coffee beans? Let us walk into the world of coffee and explore its manufacturing journey.

1. Picking coffee beans

Picking coffee beans is the first step in coffee making. When the ripe coffee cherries are bright red, they are carefully picked. This process is usually carried out in the tropical climate of the coffee plantation, because coffee trees need plenty of sunshine and a suitable climate to thrive. The picked coffee cherries are then transported to the processing plant for further processing.

2. Coffee Bean Processing

The process of processing coffee beans is to remove the pulp and impurities on the outside of the coffee beans and retain the coffee beans inside. There are two common processing methods: dry processing and wet processing. The dry processing method is to dry the coffee cherries in the sun to let the pulp dry and fall off naturally; the wet processing method is to soak the coffee cherries in water to make the pulp easier to remove. These processing methods affect the quality of the coffee beans and the final taste of the coffee.

3. Baking

After getting clean coffee beans, the next step is roasting. Roasting is the key step to improve the quality of coffee beans. Different roasting degrees will give the coffee beans different flavors. Light and medium roasted beans show bright acidity, while deep roasting makes the beans emit a rich caramel aroma. The roaster is like a bartender, skillfully combining various elements to create a unique taste and aroma.

4. Grinding and Brewing

After roasting, the coffee beans will be sent to the grinder for grinding. The coarseness of the grinding will be adjusted according to the type of coffee and the brewing method. The ground coffee powder will be put into a coffee machine or French press and other utensils for brewing. In this step, the water temperature, pressure and time will affect the taste and quality of the coffee.

Behind this series of seemingly simple steps lies the hard work of countless coffee growers, processors and roasters. They carefully care for each coffee bean just to bring us this cup of fragrant coffee.

During the coffee bean picking process, growers need to endure the heat and humidity of the tropical climate and pick ripe coffee cherries by hand. Workers in the processing plant use their professional knowledge and skills to process each cherry into clean coffee beans, and roasters need to rely on their rich experience and intuition to judge the temperature and time of each roasting to ensure the quality and taste of the coffee beans.

Brewing a cup of coffee seems simple, but in fact every step requires our careful care, from the selection of coffee beans, the coarseness of grinding to the temperature and pressure of water, every detail will affect the final taste, which is why the same coffee beans will have different tastes and flavors in different coffee shops.

When we taste this cup of fragrant coffee, we might as well think about the hard work and dedication behind it. Let us cherish this cup of coffee and be grateful to those who bring us a wonderful taste experience.

In this long process of making coffee, each step has its unique meaning and value. It is these steps that transform ordinary coffee beans into the cup of fragrant coffee in our hands. Next time you taste it, you might as well feel the unique taste and aroma and imagine the journey along the way...
