How Coffee Is Made: From Plant to Cup

Before it was coffee, it was inside a fruit. Follow one illustrative batch of Arabica coffee from a plant in Colombia to your cup: the cherry and its seeds, the main species and varieties, example countries on a real map, three ways to process the fruit, green coffee, roasting, grinding, brewing and instant coffee. 0:00 Before it was coffee 0:17 The bean is a seed 0:50 Growing and picking 1:26 Species and varieties 2:10 Countries on the map 2:46 Three ways to process the fruit 3:40 Green coffee 3:55 Roasting 4:19 Grinding and brewing 5:10 Instant coffee, a side branch 5:24 Back to the cup Honest labels: every picture is an illustrative 3D model made for this video, not footage. The Colombian Arabica batch, its farm and its route are imaginary, not a documented shipment. Growth, drying and roasting are shown with time compressed. The comparisons between species are broad tendencies, not rules, and the countries are examples, not a ranking; no production figures are given. Botanists still debate how to classify Excelsa, and the video gives no country examples for Liberica. India is shown as a location only. The narration is a synthetic voice (Kokoro). Music plays only at the start and at the end.
