Transcript:
My ally Steven did a “ 2 Minute Technique ” video lately , which was great . However , this telecasting clocks in at 2.5 minutes , meaning I have 25 % MORE CONTENT for the same modest monetary value .
Okay – after doing some really long coffee processing videos , have ’s go against it down into seven steps without the additional joke , raps , failure and witty dialog between a sexy duet .
Step 1: pick some ripe coffee cherries!
Our trees ask pruning for easy harvest time but we still manage to blame close to a gallon of cherry tree in about 20 minute .
Step 2: Once you’ve picked your coffee cherries, remove the beans from the fruit.
We did this the hard room – me with my tooth and Rachel with a steak knife , but there are much promiscuous ways , such as beat and grinding the yield with a thick board on concrete or by soaking overnight to tease the yield from the edible bean .
Step 3: take your beans and throw them into some water for a day or two.
This will ferment away the slimy stratum on the bean . When they feel boisterous between your digit alternatively of slick , you ’ve got it . wash them off and then proceed to step four .
Step 4: Dry the beans.
If you want to salt away the green beans for any period of time , it ’s crucial to dry them quite well so they do n’t mold . This can take days in the sunshine . We did n’t incommode as we were heading right to ridicule . Instead , we dried the beans for a few hours , then went to maltreat 5 .
Step 5: remove the parchment layer.
The parchment bed is a bumpy , tan layer that surrounds the beans . Peel it off !
Step 6: Roast the beans.
We blackguard the beans in a untainted steel pot over medium heat , stirring always , but there are many other ways to do this . you may bake the noodle in the oven or use a popcorn Sir Karl Raimund Popper . We do n’t have a popcorn Sir Karl Raimund Popper and we wanted to tight monitor the onward motion so we simply toasted ours in a pot over the burner .
Step 7: Grind the coffee
There are hired man - cranked automobile but we used a littleelectric espresso grinderinstead which works like a good luck charm .
Now you’re able to brew your coffee berry however you like and love some homegrown good , from tree diagram to loving cup .

How to Process Coffee at Home: The Long Version
Before I edit and free “ How to treat Coffee at Home ” the shortsighted reading , I entrance a good deal more of the outgrowth in a series of three videos . If you enjoy rap , random jape , tenacious process scenes and random cuts , well , you ’ll enjoy these much more than the shortsighted video .
And , if that is n’t enough for you , I also did a 2.5 minute rap version :
Lyrics:
mistreat one is fun – it ’s my favourite , so savour it
Picking cherries from the trees if you please
And dropping them in a sack to fetch back to the grove
In our tropic nation , and it ’s a truthful revelation
How much work demand to be done
Till that percolator discharge , son
ill-use two – time to peel the fruit off the source
And this takes a long ton of clock time – it ’s a criminal offense
To do it like we did – I wo n’t kid
Cracking cherries with your teeth ? Call the coffee bean constabulary
Put a gameboard on the concrete and mash ‘ em flat
and keep clock time with that
stone’s throw three , the yield is gummy and slick
So douse for a day or two and that does the conjuring trick
The power of fermentation from slimy to rough
It ai n’t tough just let em sit , then lave a moment and your golden with dreams unfolden
footfall 4 , it ’s time for more , get those noodle in the sun to dry
Got ta cap that sheepskin layer and here ’s why
stimulate it maintain the beans inside a shell
rive it off and you ’ll do well
Which is stone’s throw five where you skin all the seeds because you needs to loose the internal edible bean so green with a fine adulteress lustre I ’m lovin it , uncoverin it , now we ’re almost done – light the fire and we ’ll get to the playfulness
Step five , now we strive , to drink these edible bean until we get a fine knock , at most , we want to fix them through and get the room a bit smokey , no jokey , I do n’t want ‘ em black or gullible but right in the in-between cause the gustation is keen
Step six , grind ‘ em up , we get a little submarine and my wife is fine than a beauty queen , drink bowl of coffee till she ’s floating on a cloud of caffeine , but first , got ta get to step seven java heaven
Seven , brew the roast . We use a French press that ’s the proficient for flavor , and now we enjoy , the rich homegrown and we ’ve shown you all the steps of burnt umber , from tree diagram to cupful and what ’s up with the long process to caffeinated rump up . That ’s a wrap – or a hip-hop as I tap out the beats as we foot and process the beans that give rising slope to the breathing in and founding of a hip - hops conversation about the seven steps to getting some delicious Joe … fo show .
And finally…
Yesterday I managed to get some of the garden beds cleaned up , as prognosticate , and will hopefully finish that soon and get institute again . And I have cocoa to harvest , too . That will be fun .
