INTRODUCTIONS

4. WHAT IS COFFEE: FROM FRUIT TO SEED
Fruit on shrub-like trees
that grow between
the Tropic of Cancer &
Capricorn.
Cherries are picked from
the trees & processed to
separate the seed from the
fruit.
Roasting: the sugars within
the bean get caramelized to
produce aromatic brown
beans.

6. WHAT IS EXTRACTION?
• During coffee brewing, the soluble solids within coffee grinds dissolve into
water (solvent).
• ~30% of coffee is soluble in water
• Ideal extraction: 18-20% of soluble solids results in a good brew
• More: Over-extracted and tastes bitter
• Less: Under-extracted and tastes sour
