Coffee bean sorting
Cleanliness is next to godliness. And when it comes to coffee, is it next to the flavor?
Once the roasting process is complete, the beans fall into a cooling tray, where their temperature is rapidly lowered. This is followed by sorting, as each roasting batch contains a mix of beans of varying shades, sizes, and qualities. The beans are therefore passed through a destoner – a sorting machine equipped with an optical camera system – which separates defective beans from flawless ones.
The beans are therefore passed through a destoner - a large industrial vacuum cleaner that can separate stones and coarse impurities from the coffee. It may seem that in specialty coffee, some gross errors in processing cannot occur, but we are still dealing with the volume of coffee in tons, and it is necessary to leave nothing to chance so that no misfortune happens in grinders in homes or cafes.
After the first stage of sorting, we turn on an even more delicate approach. The beans are moved to a sorter equipped with an optical camera system that separates defective beans from perfect ones.
The defect-free beans then proceed to the packaging process. However, the defective beans are not discarded without use; for example, we use them in our training center during latte art courses, where the sensory quality of the coffee is not evaluated.
