I drink coffee all the time but how is it made?!


Question: I would assume you are referring to the method of processing the bean, not how the water turns brown after it goes through the grounds.
The coffee cherries grows on a tree, more like a bush to most people. Usually in regions near the equator. Typically coffee produces 2 crops a year, and not all coffees are in the same growth cycle, they are staggered thru the year. The cherries are mostly hand picked, trying to get just the ripe cherries. The cherries are then sent to a processing facility where they are stripped of their outer covering exposing usually two 'beans' within each cherry. Next the beans either have their mucilage washed off or dried to be able to remove same. What is left is a bean with a 'silver skin' which is then shipped to a wholesaler or a coffee house. The wholesaler then sells portions of the shipment to local roasters. I f the shipment is sold directly to a coffee house or big name roaster it is then roasted , ground and packaged for retail sales. Local roasters will roast the beans for their sales or they may sell portions of their shipment to homeroasters who will roast their own coffee, as I do.
Again, surely you didn't expect someone to explain how you put coffee grounds in a basket and pour hot water over it, did you?

You need to be more specific. Are you talking about how the drink is made, or how the "beans" are cultivated.
