The diagram outlines the step-by-step process involved in the production of instant coffee.
Overall, producing instant coffee is a man-made linear process that starts with picking and drying the coffee beans and ends with packing them into jars. The processing of coffee beans consists of four main stages: roasting, grinding, mixing, and straining.
First of all, the coffee beans are picked manually by the farmers and dried under the sun. The beans are then roasted and cooled rapidly. Afterwards, the beans are ground into smaller pieces using a machine and mixed with hot water inside a container. Once the beans are strained, the water mixture is cooled until it becomes frozen.
The freezing mixture is then ground again using the same machine used to ground the coffee beans. These small pieces are dried inside a vacuum to get the water out. The final step involves pouring and packing the ground coffee into jars and labeled to be ready for sale.
