Not all "cherries" ripen at the same time so growers are very particular about which ones are picked and when.

The next step in making a quality coffee bean, like Millstone Coffee Beans, from a "cherry" is to put the harvested fruit into a pulping machine where the actual coffee bean is separated from the skin of the fruit. And then the beans are spread out on hard surfaces, typically concrete, to dry in the natural heat of the sun.
