Coffee is consumed most often as a drink, but it also makes for a distinctive seasoning.<\/p>\n
The seeds of the coffee fruit (called \u201ccherries\u201d, because that is what they resemble) are picked when the fruit ripens to a deep red colour.<\/p>\n
The pulp and skin are removed to reveal the green seed, which goes through several stages \u2013 including fermenting, washing, drying, hulling and grading \u2013 before the beans are stored or shipped.<\/p>\n
The processed beans can be stored in their dried green state for several years, but for optimal flavour, once roasted and ground, they should be used as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
Everyone has their preferred method of brewing coffee<\/span>. That can range from simply covering the ground beans with water, heating them together and then straining out the residue, to using elaborate (and expensive) machines that force water at high pressure through the ground coffee.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
