What is caffeine?
|
a compound that is odorless slightly bitter-tasting solid, which dissolves easily in water or alcohol.
|
|
How does caffeine work?
|
Caffeine attaches itself to the neural receptors that normally attract adenosine, a chemical that is produced in the body and which exerts a calming effect on the activity of the brain because they have similar molecular structure. When caffeine is lodged at the ends of these receptors, the firing of cells increases and we experience a corresponding increase in mental stimulation.

SHB/SHG
|
strictly hard bean/strictly high grown
|
|
Wet (washed) process
|
1. immerse fruit in water to "gravity sort"-bad ripe floats then discrded
2. outer skin and pulp is mechanically removed 3. transferred to large fermenation tanks, usually through a sluice of some kind to remove the remaining pulp or mucilage 4. In fermenation tanks, a reaction allows the sticky fruit to swell and loosen the beans from the inside-lasts as many as 12-36 hours 5. beans are washed free from loosened fruit 6. left to dry on large patios, raked, thereby turning several times |
|
Dry (natural) process
|
1. cherries are layed out to dry in open sunlight usually on patios or tarps
2.sorted and cleaned to separate the bad ones and to remove dirt, soil, twigs, and leaves. (can be done by WINNOWING, which is commonly done by hand, using a large sieve) 3. After several weeks, dried cherries are stored in bulk until they are sent to the mill where hulling, sorting, grading and bagging take place 4. outer layers of the dried cherry are removed in one step by the hulling machine |
|
Pulped Natural (semi-washed) process
|
1. consists of pulping the coffee, the fermentation stage to remove the remaining sticky mucilage.
2. Occurs in countries where humidity is low and the coffee covered in the mucilage can be dried rapidly without fermenting 3.both dry and wet processed coffee 4. referred to as honey processed |
|
Swiss Water Method
|
1. beans soaked in hot water until caffeine comes out and then the beans are discarded
2. h2o passes through a carbon filter, which traps the caffeine 3. "flavor charge" is the caffeine free water that is made and it is put in a similar filteration device, and new beans are added. Since the flavor-charged h2o cannot remove any of the coffee solids from the new beans, only the caffeine is released 4. repeat |
|
Traditional decaf method
|
1. soak in hot water
2. use a solvent, either methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, to remove the caffeine 3. rinsed and dried |
