Coffee cherries are de-pulped. After this, the removal of the slimy mucilage layer which covers the bean takes place. This is done mechanically by feeding the beans into a cylindrical device which conveys them upward. While the friction and pressure exerted on the beans by this process is enough to remove most of the mucilage, a small amount of it will still remain in the centre cut of the beans.
Where is this?
