INTRODUCTION

Coffee was once considered as medicine. However, the modern medical community did not view coffee as herbal medicine. This ha led to lot of research on coffee.

Coffee has no nutritive value. It makes us feel good for no reason.

After twenty-five years of research, medical science has not yet proved any connection between moderate caffeine or coffee consumption and disease or birth defects.

To be cautious, if you are pregnant or have certain health conditions, you should bring your coffee consumption to the attention of your physician, even if it is a moderate habit.

COFFEE PRODUCTION

Coffee trees are indigenous to Africa, and can still be found growing wild in the hills of Ethiopia. Today coffee is cultivated in some eighty countries in South and Central America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia, generally in areas lying between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The two biggest producers by far are Brazil and Colombia, followed by Indonesia, Vietnam and Mexico.

The coffee tree is a tropical evergreen shrub (genus Coffea), and two beans are generally contained in each fruit, which when ripe resembles a red cherry. The two most commercially important species grown are varieties of Coffea canephora (robustas) and Coffea arabica (arabicas). The latter grows at higher altitudes, requires less rain, and its beans have a lower caffeine content than that of robustas.

The trees do not start fruiting until they are between three and five years old, when each tree will yield between two and four kg of fruit. Most coffee is still harvested by hand, although some larger farms now employ mechanical harvesters.

After harvesting the next stage is to remove the outer layers of the bean and create a stable, dry, green coffee bean. Two methods may be used, 'dry' or 'wet', to get the beans to the 'parchment' stage: within their hulls with most of their moisture removed. They can be stored in this state prior to processing to remove the hull, after which they are sorted and graded and ready for export around the world. Two important developments in coffee production have arisen in this century: instant coffee and the decaffeination process.

lnstant coffee is made by spray or freeze drying a coffee brew to remove the water, resulting in powder or granules which are reconstituted simply by adding hot water.
