1.1 WHAT IS COFFEE? Coffee comes from a shrub-like tree that grows in almost any soil and prefers the climate between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The coffee tree bears flowers, ripe fruit, and unripe fruit at the same time. For many, coffee is first and foremost the favored source of caffeine.

This is done in one of two ways; by dry processing or by wet processing. Wet processing is much more expensive although it is not true that dry processing always leads to an inferior product. 1.1.1.1 Roasting coffee beans Roasting is the most critical and difficult stage in processing coffee.
