Coffee Beans Processing 咖啡豆的製造

更新 發佈閱讀 10 分鐘

Some people may think coffee bean is a kind of beans, but actually it is the seed of Coffea plant. The fruit of Coffea, or coffee cherry, mostly contains two seeds with their flat sides together, and the coffee cherry with only one round seed is called peaberry. There are typically two types of coffee worldwide, Arabica (~65% of the market) and Robusta (35% of the market). Although the flavors of Arabica are better than Robusta, it is harder to cultivate and required more strict environment, and relatively, the price is higher. Therefore, Arabica is usually used for specialty coffee, and Robusta for instant or drip bag coffee. Arabica can still be divided into various branches, and the commonly known branches are Caturra, Bourbon, Typica, Catuai, Catimor, and Geisha. The fun fact is, with the same type of coffee beans grown in different region will results in totally different flavors and quality, and this is why the coffee is so fascinating and charming.

Coffee beans Processing

There are commonly three different processing methods to get the coffee beans that we are familiar with: Dry process (or Natural), Wet process (or Washed), and Honey (or Pulped Natural).

  • Dry process (or Natural):It is the oldest method to process coffee. After the coffee cherries are picked from the coffee trees, they are spread out evenly and dried out under the sun. To avoid mould and rotting, coffee cherries have to turn regularly. The drying process usually takes about 20 or more days to complete, the skin and dried cherry flesh will then be removed mechanically to get the coffee beans ready to roast. Dry process is commonly used in regions where there is lack of water like Ethiopia and some regions in Brazil. However, because the skin and fruit flesh are not removed until the last step, it has more flavors, like fruitiness and sweetness, than other processes.
  • Wet process (or Washed):Unlike the dry process, all of the pulp and skin except the pectin layer are removed from the coffee cherries beforehand. Then, in order to remove the pectin layer, these cherries will be fermented for 6~80 hours. More, there are anaerobic fermentation and aerobic fermentation, and each process will result in different flavors of coffee. Finally, the coffee beans are washed to remove the pectin layer, then, it is ready to be dried. The washed process creates more brightness (acidity) and cleaner taste to the coffee. However, it requires more water than other processing methods, so it is more expensive to produce, and allows only in the places where have abundant water resources.
  • Honey (or Pulped Natural):It is also called semi-washed or semi-natural process, which combines the wet and dry process. The skin and pulp except pectin layer of coffee cherries are first removed as in the wet process. Then, these de-pulped coffee cherries will go straight to the drying process without the fermentation like in the wet process. Finally, the pectin layer was removed mechanically and get the coffee beans ready to roast. Honey process can also be divided into black, red, gold, yellow, and white honey, depending on how much pectin layer left on the bean before drying. Black honey has the most pectin layer left on the bean while white honey has only a bit pectin layer left on the bean. As of the flavors, white honey is more like the wet process and black honey is more like the dry process coffee beans. Honey process has the sweetness of dry process and brightness (acidity) of wet process, but it is the most expensive due to its complicated processing.

身為一個典型的社畜,上班時間被會議、進度、KPI 塞得滿滿,下班後只想要找一個能夠安靜喘口氣的小角落。對我來說,畫畫就是那個屬於自己的小樹洞。無論是胡亂塗鴉,還是慢慢描繪喜歡的插畫人物,那個專注在筆觸和色彩的過程,就像在幫心靈按摩一樣,讓緊繃的神經慢慢鬆開。

從咖啡樹採收下來的漿果,必須先經過去除豆殼等加工程序後,接著在咖啡生豆烘焙成熟豆之前,會先經過咖啡生豆的處理程序,也因此咖啡豆處理的過程與結果將會影響到後續咖啡豆的香氣。咖啡風味的形成受到咖啡豆的處理方法影響深遠。不同的處理方法將對咖啡豆的風味、口感和特色產生顯著的影響。

這次要來介紹咖啡的處理法(Process),或稱作後製,指的是將咖啡漿果中的種子(咖啡豆)取出的方法。目前我們已經知道取出咖啡豆的過程,會直接影響到咖啡最終的風味。它的影響力甚至比咖啡樹本身的品種,種植區域的氣候、土壤影響還大。

從咖啡杯中我們所喝到的的風味有許多種來源,精品咖啡最常使用的說法就是From Seed to Cup。意即整個咖啡的生產過程之中,每一個步驟都能夠影響到最終的品質。過去人們認為越靠近前段的生產部分,對風味的影響越大。然而,隨著時間的推移和技術的進步,人們發現這樣的說法並非完全正確。事實上,從咖啡豆落

烘焙,大家或許會像我一樣,聯想到的是蛋糕麵包吧! 第一次聽到咖啡原來需要有烘焙的過程,才能成為可以喝的飲料,如果咖啡生豆沒有烘焙成熟豆來飲用,是會引起腹瀉的。

【TIPS】咖啡豆在處理或儲運過程中最怕發酵(臭酸),發酵造成的酸味是毒 不是果酸;因此即使是產自莊園的生豆,若杯測有酸味,切勿買來烘培引用 【咖啡果】構造解剖圖 【咖啡主要的處理法有分三大類】日曬、水洗、蜜處理。 日曬法(Natural)是在去除外殼及果膠層前直接曝曬咖啡櫻桃;
