Ness starts with ... Hi I have a Arabica coffee bush that at 3 years has produced an amazing amount of berries. It's all a bit trial and error, but have picked most and am drying them out. My question is how do you know when they are dried enough and after peeling the berry off, what do you do to the seeds? | About the Author Ness Brisbane 19th September 2012 9:01am #UserID: 7254 Posts: 3 View All Ness's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... The seeds are the actual coffee Ness. I sun dried mine many years ago, but the coffee seemed very weak, not to mention the cyclone(s) that destroyed 4 of my 5 coffee trees! :-( Have a look around this site: http://www.sweetmarias.com/index.php | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 19th September 2012 9:22am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |

trikus says... Taste is not all that great , the high altitude beans from Costa Rica or Columbia are WAY much better but just so unaffordable for low income workers .. I mix my own roast in with my usual Harris Espresso [ bargain @ $23/kg ] I now use a hand burr grinder after the very expensive 'Cuisien crap' automatic burnt out .. slow grinding is far superior to the high speed chopping ... I had some cheap and nasty beans that did not taste to bad when hand ground .

Linton says... Drying Coffee Berries. Pictures of Coffee Beans drying along the roadsides in Vietnam. In the Central Highlands one can drive for miles and miles past Coffee plantations hugging steep hillsides. In spite of there being a lot of Coffee grown there it is impossible to find a decent cup of coffee to drink in any café!
