We harvested the cherries.
Pulped them to get the beans out. Soaked the beans to remove the slimy outer cover. Dried them in our dehydrator. Took the husks off to get the green coffee beans out.
We have now roasted our green beans in this fully automated roaster that Jeff gave us as a gift for helping him sort some of his stuff out.
We ended up with great roasted beans; and ground them ready for brewing.
Brewed the coffee in our espresso pot.
