Below is a quick guide how to grow and make your own coffee from freshly harvested coffee fruit (called "cherries").
- Harvest the ripe cherries
- Remove the beans
- Dry the beans
- Remove the parchment
- Roast the beans
- Cool and grind
Pick the bright red fruits when they are fully ripe. These contain the coffee beans inside.
Squeeze the cherries to pop out the seeds (beans). Rinse off any pulp and soak them in water for 1-2 days to ferment and remove the slimy coating.
Spread the clean beans on a tray in a sunny, dry spot. Let them dry for 1-2 weeks, turning them daily, until they feel hard and papery.
Once dried, crack and remove the thin husk around each bean. You now have green coffee beans ready to roast.
Use a dry skillet or oven. Heat until beans turn brown and fragrant, stirring constantly. The longer you roast, the darker and stronger the flavor.
Let roasted beans cool completely, then grind them just before brewing. Enjoy your homemade cup of fresh coffee!
