We have our first Coffee Beans! Now what?

Coffee Beans

So, they say it takes three years from planting to when your coffee bushes start producing.  We planted about a year ago. We now have our first beans.

I am not prepared.  There is equipment for you to pulp, dry, & roast coffee and we can sell to the coffee cooperative, but this crop is so small, that I thought we’d try home processing.

My mother-in-law started telling me how they harvested, cured, roasted and ground their own coffee when she was younger.  A half hour later, she was still talking about the process.

Maybe it’s time for her to come up and visit.
