The whole beans get dumped into a machine where most of them getted stripped from their shells, the man pushes the heavy beans (the good ones) through the the bottom.
The heavy beans then go up a tube and then are pushed by the water pressure into a big basin where they stay for a day or two to let the water drain and ferment..mmmm..
The lighter and unstripped beans go through another machine and then into a different basin..
After the water drains they are laid out to dry and then they are shipped somewhere else to be roasted...

Hi Amy,
Thanks for those coffee pictures. Having sold fair trade coffee for so long and describing the process, it's neat to see pictures (was that fair trade coffee by the way?)
Great pictures too!
