  „After harvesting the next stage is to remove the outer layers of the bean and create a stable, dry, green coffee bean. Two methods may be used, 'dry' or 'wet', to get the beans to the 'parchment' stage: within their hulls with most of their moisture removed. They can be stored in this state prior to processing to remove the hull, after which they are sorted and graded and ready for export around the world.“

  „Many of us have purchased the supermarket brands of pre-ground or whole bean coffees. The problem with these coffees is you can never be too sure how long the beans sit in those chutes and, as you know, exposure to air is an enemy of freshly roasted coffee beans. I recommend your specialty coffee purveyor, not to discredit your friendly grocer, but because specialty coffee retailers are solely in the business to sell coffee beans and therefore you can be more confident their beans are fresher because they move much more rapidly than supermarket beans.“

  „We picked coffee cherries at a friends farm and have planted several of the beans. We know it takes 3-4 years to harvest but what we don't know is if there is any advantage to planting peaberry instead of just the regular beans. We've come across quite a few peaberry beans after pulping the cherries and we know they are the more desirable beans but does it make any difference to the plant if it's grown from peaberry or a regular bean.“
