The bean’s journey: eight steps from flower to cup

Coffee is the seed of a fruit. The taste in the cup builds up at every step: on the slope, on the drying table, in the roaster and in your kitchen.

  1. FlowerWhite, fragrant flowers after the rains.
  2. CherryRipens for months and turns red.
  3. HarvestBy hand, cherry by cherry, or all at once.
  4. ProcessingThe pulp comes off, or dries on the bean.
  5. Drying and hullingDried to 10–12% moisture, then the parchment comes off.
  6. Shipping60 kg bags, by sea.
  7. RoastingThe bean loses water and weight, browns and smells of coffee.
  8. CupGrind, water, time.

Where coffee is being harvested now

Coffee grows between the tropics, and the harvest rolls around the planet in a wave: every month, cherries ripen somewhere. Beans on the map mark the main coffee regions; red means the harvest is on now.

Eight methods with a timer

Pick a method: the timer walks you through the steps, works out the grams for your number of cups and strength, and keeps the screen on.

Phin

The Vietnamese drip filter: strong coffee in 5 minutes, with condensed milk or over ice.

Vietnam5:151:6 Brew

V60 dripper

Pour-over: a clean, bright cup in 3 minutes that shows the character of the beans.

3:001:16 Brew

French press

Full-bodied coffee: pour, wait 4 minutes, lower the plunger.

4:281:15 Brew

AeroPress

A plastic syringe for coffee: 2 minutes, a clean cup, and it comes along on trips.

2:001:14.5 Brew

Moka pot

A moka pot on the stove: steam pushes water through the coffee, and the brew comes out strong and thick.

7:511:9 Brew

Cezve

The finest-ground coffee in cold water over low heat — with foam.

2:401:11 Brew

Questions

Is this a shop?

Not yet: there is no cart or payment on the site. Coffee comes on request, with a written quote. That is more honest at the start, while lots and prices settle.

Why does the timer keep the screen on?

While you brew, your hands are busy with the kettle. The timer asks the browser to keep the screen on (Wake Lock) and lets go after “Done”.

Does the timer work offline?

Yes. The site is an app (PWA): the home page, brewing methods and calculators are saved on your device on the first visit.

Where is my data kept?

Requests are kept on a server in Moscow. Only the request number and type go out, in a notification. Timer progress and settings stay in your browser only.

Why Vietnam?

It is one of the largest coffee producers and the world leader in robusta, and Russia is a notable buyer of its coffee. AbsoCoffee connects two countries of the Absolute group.
