Two weeks ago, I noticed that the coffee tree out back was filled with bright red cherries. After a little bit of online research, I thought it might be fun to give homemade coffee processing a try. (In hindsight, "fun" is not the word I would actually use anymore.)
You can see each stage of the process in my Flickr set. My thumbs are raw from taking off the parchment this afternoon. I hope to roast next weekend.
I'm flicking through the photo set as I drink my Cuban beans (freshly roasted and sent via a kind friend to LA, where I picked them up and brought them home...) and thinking that you are just the most domestic-goddessy of all my friends.
ReplyDeleteI wish we were neighbours so we could take turns creating such delights as these.
Can you imagine? Let's be neighbours! How can we make that work? I can think of nothing more delightful.
ReplyDeleteNeat! We were given a bag of the parchment from a local cafe to use as mulch in our garden. Seems to be working well so far. :)
ReplyDeletehmmm i keep trying to think of a way that doesn't include me moving to australia. I'll compromise and stay in NZ. hehehehe.
