Just like not all wines are the same neither is every cup of coffee. The journey of a coffee bean from the fruit of a coffee tree to a hot cup of coffee can take many paths, and can result in a wide variety of experiences for the consumer.
Truck stops are notorious for promoting a thick, black liquid like substance that they proudly call coffee, and will often times offer free refills if you so dare. On the other end of the spectrum you have companies like Millstone Coffee who locate high quality coffee from the most remote and lush rainforests and fertile coffee growing mountainsides around the world. From regions like South America, Central America, Africa, Indonesia, Hawaii, and the Caribbean, and they take enormous pride in the process of creating the best cup of coffee they can produce.
It All Starts With The Fruit
Coffee beans begin as what are commonly called “cherries” which are the fruit of a coffee tree. These “cherries” are then individually harvested from the coffee trees when they are perfectly ripe and ready to be picked. Not all “cherries” ripen at the same time so growers are very particular about which ones are picked and when.
Processing
The next step in making quality Millstone Coffee Beans from a “cherry” is to put the harvested fruit into a pulping machine where the bean is separated from the skin of the fruit. And then the beans are spread out on hard surfaces, typically concrete, to dry in the natural heat of the sun.
Roasting Coffee
Next to the origin and quality of the coffee bean the roasting of the bean is what separates most coffees in taste, flavor and experience. Every roaster has his style, methods, tips and tricks that they use to create their desired product. Millstone Coffee Beans are created by paying close attention to the timing of the roasting process. They decide exactly when they want to crack a coffee bean to produce the desired light or medium roasts, or the more full-bodied dark roasts like espresso beans. To lock in the Millstone Coffee Bean quality their roast masters cool the beans at just the right moment with a touch of moisture.
