Solar vs mechanical drying trade-offs
This topic explains the trade-offs between solar and mechanical drying methods for coffee, highlighting differences in cost, quality, consistency, and environmental impact.
Risk of over-fermentation
This topic explains why honey and pulped natural processes carry risks of over-fermentation, the conditions that cause it, and how producers manage these risks to protect cup quality.
Bed thickness and airflow
This topic explains how bed thickness and airflow are managed in honey and pulped natural coffee processing, why they matter for uniform drying, and their impact on flavor and defect prevention.
Mold prevention and airflow management
This topic explains how mold prevention and airflow management are critical in natural (dry) coffee processing, and the best practices farmers use to keep beans clean, safe, and high-quality.
Raised beds vs patios vs mechanical dryers
This topic explains the three main drying methods in natural coffee processing—raised beds, patios, and mechanical dryers—comparing their processes, advantages, challenges, and impacts on flavor quality.
