Wet-hullers need a lot of power to drive them since they need a ton of friction to take the parchment off the high moisture parchment coffee. So a rig like this is common. Even tho it’s a smaller wet-huller it is driven by a 4 cylinder inline Mitsubishi truck motor. Diesel too. 💪 #wethulledcoffee #gilingbasah #sumatracoffee #gearhead https://www.instagram.com/p/BmFXBl_lull/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15akgq1n3h8kq

Who can’t relate a little bit to a defect. I mean, nobody’s perfect! As I revamp all the old photo sets from our SM coffee library, I keep coming across little gems like this photographic exploration of Sumatra wet-hulled green coffee. From 2009 originally. #gilingbasah #sumatracoffee #greencoffeedefects I would link to it but you know, IG ain’t no Wikipedia ie they don’t want us to learn too much too fast. Thanks IG! 😜 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHrgXO7hi9C/?igshid=1h34varmndgie

Coffee processing experiments in Sumatra with traditional ferment, dry-process and honey from L to R. What is exciting is the wet-hulled honey process, which reads like a classic Sumatra cup with more refinement and sweetness. #sumatracoffee #honeycoffee #dryprocesscoffee #gilingbasah (at Pelompek City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn5Jmhdl2TZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ukxjj3hct6m9

Keeping the aromas in the cup with some Sweet Marias coasters. Why didn’t I ever think of that? Cupping various process trials in Sumatra today. #sumatracoffee #honeycoffee #gilingbasah #dryprocesscoffee #washedcoffee #honeyrobusta https://www.instagram.com/p/BmGjskkl5Rp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xxpck28joidf
