The diagram illustrates the eight stages involved in producing coffee products from coffee beans.
Overall, the process begins with the harvesting of coffee beans and ends with the purchase of coffee-related products. The beans undergo several processing steps before they are packaged and distributed.
Initially, ripe coffee beans are harvested once a year. In the second stage, the beans are processed using a machine to remove the outer layers. Next, they are dried for a period ranging from 24 to 72 hours. Once dried, the beans go through a hulling machine that removes any remaining layers.
Following this, the beans are roasted for about 10 to 20 minutes to enhance their flavor. In the sixth stage, the roasted beans are packed into paper or plastic bags. After packing, the products are delivered to retail or distribution centers. Finally, the coffee products are purchased by consumers in various forms, such as ground coffee, instant coffee, or beverages.
