A coffee bean is actually the seed of a small fruit called a coffee cherry that looks similar to a cranberry. This man is washing the depulping machine that removes the fruit from the coffee bean – the first step in the production of “washed” coffee. (The coffee can also be dried with the fruit on the bean, which is called “natural” or “unwashed” and results in a different flavor profile.) ~ Dec 2014, Coffee Delegation with Larry's Coffee and Coop Coffees to Ethiopia
