Harvesting and separation of shells
Evergreen coffee plant and white flowers throughout the year. These flowers will then produce a fruit similar to a cherry encased by a hard shell. The results of fertilization in the flower is called the coffee bean. Harvesting Coffee beans are usually done manually by hand. In the next phase, which has been harvested coffee beans will be separated shells. There are two commonly used methods, namely the drying and milling machines. In conditions are dry area drying method is usually used directly in the sun. After drying the shells of the beans will be easier to be released. In Indonesia, the beans are dried until the moisture content remains only 30-35 % the other method is to use the machine. Before grinding, the coffee beans are usually washed first. When milled in a machine, coffee beans undergo fermentation also brief. This grinding method tends to give better results of the direct drying method.
Roasting
Once separated from the shells, the beans are ready to enter into the roasting process. This process can directly enhance taste and color of the coffee beans. Physically, the changes seen from drying coffee beans beans and a decrease in overall weight. The pores on the surface around the seeds will be seen more clearly. The color of brown coffee beans will also look darken.
Grinding
In the next phase, dried beans that have been grinded to increase the surface area of the coffee beans. By increasing the surface area of extraction will become more efficient and faster. The grinding will produce a good flavor, aroma, and good appearance. The results of this mill should be included in an airtight container to prevent changes in taste coffee.
Art boiling
Boiling is the final step of the processing of coffee beans ready to be consumed. In order to create coffee drinks are high flavor, boiling coffee beans must be done properly and perfectly. There are many variables in the boiling coffee beans, among others, the composition of the seed coffee and water, particle size, water temperature used, methods, and boiling time.

Therefore, it is not easy to present a good coffee.
Decaffeination
Decaffeination or elimination of caffeine included in the overall additional method of processing coffee. Decaffeination is widely used to reduce the caffeine content in coffee so it's not too bitter. In addition, decaffeination is also used to suppress the adverse effects of the activity of caffeine in the body. Decaf Coffee is often consumed by coffee addicts to prevent the accumulation of excessive caffeine in the body.
