Mafia And Girl Roam Coffee

Go yuk!

"The quality of coffee is determined from 60% when in the garden, 30% when roasted and 10% when brewed. Thus, the process of planting to post harvest on coffee beans is the most important stage and has the greatest influence on the various processes of 'washing' coffee." Bagas explained to residents who want to process their own coffee and make a profit greater than before than selling raw coffee to middlemen.

"First, we will get acquainted with the process that goes into the dry process post-harvest method. Let's see!" Bagas shows how and how to process coffee that has been dried after harvesting.

Natural Processes

This familiar process is the process of post-harvesting coffee beans that are really done without the use of machines and water (processed naturally/natural). After the coffee cherries that have passed the sort are picked, the fruit is immediately dried on the dryer board along with the layer of skin in the sun. 

The cherries are then flipped back and forth periodically to dry evenly. With this process, the cherry will be fermented naturally and the outer skin will peel off by itself. This process is widely applied by farmers in Indonesia because of the simple way. But although fairly simple, this process is also quite risk-prone because it relies heavily on the weather. If there is no rain, this drying process can take up to 4-6 weeks. The taste produced from naturally processed coffee beans is usually very fruity or has a strong fruit flavor such as blueberries and strawberries, with full body and low acidity. 

Honey Processes

Many think, if the honey process is a method of processing coffee beans using honey. Though not at all. So this is the explanation. Coffee cherries that have escaped sort then peeled but still leave a layer of mucus (mucilage) then just dried in the sun. The mucus layer is the main key of the honey process because it stores sugar and acidity so that the resulting taste is high sweetness with balanced acidity.

The sticky mucus layer resembles honey makes this process called honey process. The difference in the amount of mucus that is still attached makes coffee beans that go through this process and have been dried is divided into three colors namely Red (50% mucus layer), Yellow (25% mucus layer), and Yellow, and Black Honey (100% mucous layer).

For the wet process method, some of the commonly used coffee washing processes are:

Full - Washled Process

The first process of washing coffee is full-washed. This process begins by inserting coffee cherries into a tub filled with water to select the fruit that has been ripe and that has not. The ripe coffee cherries will sink to the bottom of the tub, while the immature ones will float.

This immersion process can take up to 12 hours with the replacement of immersion water in the 6th hour. Then, selected coffee cherries will be dried for approximately 3-4 weeks until dry. The flavor character produced by this process is a mild and mild coffee.  

Semi - Washed Process

As the name suggests, semi-washed process or ‘wet-hulled process’ which in Indonesian is commonly called ‘giling wet’ is a processing method by combining natural processes with washed process (hybrid method). In the initial process, the ripe cherries exfoliate the skin using a machine and then the contents are dried in the sun.

After the drying process is complete, the coffee beans are still in a slimy state and then stored for approximately 24 hours. Then, the mucus that is still attached is washed until clean and re-drained. Coffee beans processed by this method have a strong enough body and are very suitable to be processed into espresso and have a more intense sweet taste with lower acid.

Residents who were in the room was quite large, mangosteen mangosteen and amazed by the cleverness of Bagas. While Vino and Ferro who already know only silence. They joined just to find a loophole to gain the trust of the citizens.

"You got it?!" tanya Bagas looked at the entire community.

"Understanding Den!" sahut Citizens unison.

"Please start!"

Then Bagas asked residents to start the coffee making process according to the instructions given. Those who do not understand, are helped by Vino, Bagas and Bagas men who are asked to help the citizens.

While Ferro prefers to help Cempaka and Lilis. In addition to getting information, Ferro also learned the language and asked about many things about the village.

Time goes on, the day gets longer. The sound of Adzan rang. All residents who were in the coffee processing stopped their activities. One by one fulfill their obligations. While Ferro's different beliefs could only pay attention from the outside waiting for Cempaka to finish. There was a sense of awe and peace in Ferro's heart to see the harmony of the citizens, especially to see the smile of Cempaka. The seed of love began to grow in Ferro's heart towards Cempaka and the village. It was in Ferro's mind to live in the village, but all that he tepis when he realized his purpose came to Indonesia.

After finishing, Cempaka again continued to brew coffee at Ferro's aid until the afternoon. Ferro took the initiative to bring Cempaka home on a bicycle, lucky Cempaka agreed.

"Cempaka, it looks like it's going to rain. Wouldn't you rather come home with me?" tawar Bagas stared dislikefully at Ferro.

"Nuhun, but I already want to go home with kang bule." Push down Cempaka gently. "What about next time?"

Bagas was silent for a moment, then nodded his head. "Promise yes!"

Cempaka nodded his head, then climbed onto the bike. While Vino began to get sultry with the attitude of Ferro who preceded him. Silent, he has a sinister plan to keep the sheep away from Ferro.

Another with Komeng, Udin, Lilis, they noticed Cempaka being fussed by three handsome men.

"Ari nu geulis (if beautiful) must be in the ants. Different from the butt of the pot mah, boro boro want to be close, see ogah!" the Komeng grumbled.

"You can't do that, even if the butt of the pot is made the same as the mother!" timpal Udin's.

"Haha!" Lilis laughed out loud. "You don't shave."

"Not shaving, reality. Flies also stop by!" Hit the comic again.

"Diemlah, mending home. Hungry stomach euy!" Udin.

While Ferro continued to pedal his bike happily. Arrived, in the middle of the road raining down. Cempaka asked Ferro to stop first.

"What's wrong?" ask Ferro.

"Kang, take banana leaves. It's raining big!" cempaka said, looking up at the sky.

"Okay, you wait." The word Ferro, although Cempaka slightly do not understand but with the movement of Ferro's hand makes it easier for Cempaka to understand Ferro.

Then Ferro took out a small dagger from his shirt pocket. Taking a piece of navel leaf on the side of the road and he gave it to Cempaka.

"Make you, let it not rain." Ferro in a foreign language.

Cempaka took the banana leaf in Ferro's hand. Then he climbed again on the bike, he lifted a banana leaf to cover his head as well as Ferro so as not to be exposed to rain.

For Ferro, what Cempaka did was very effective. Riding a bike on a banana leaf umbrella, along the road Cempaka does not stop joking with Ferro. Make Ferro's heart flower.
