This is the final video of our coffee home processing. It was a lot of fun and we got some good local coffee. Enjoy See Part 1 of this series at www.youtube.com See Part 2 of this series at www.youtube.com www.northhawaiidive.com
Aloha from Honoka’a! Thanks for the demonstrations! You two are so cute…. We just started home processing our home grown coffee beans and I was looking to see what method others used. I actually have put the cherries in my vita mix on low then rinsed repeatedly to separate bean from cherry, soaked, then dried, then used my food processor with a plastic blade to de-parch. So far so good…still looking for easier ways! Mahalo Nui Loa.
Nutcases unite! It’s worth it.
interesting they stayed white. Ours turned to a brown color when we dried them in the sun / (in the car parked in the sun). I like the idea of using the rolling pin, I might have to give that a go. Aloha
really good video thnak you so much its fantastic lol your not kidding about alot of work… if you guys ever come to australia let us know and you can come over for a cup of our coffee… oh i got the answer to my last question,, you dried them in the car.. good thinking,,, i should have watched all the vid first!
they look as though you baked them? dont they stay white..
the reason im asking is i baked my beans in the oven then used a rolling pin to crack the shells and the ones i air dried the shell stayed white.. what do you think pre roasting would do to the flavor are they better air dried?
i really appreciate your response.. and i might add we are nutcases for doing it my husband thinks im insane.
