== Harvesting == === Selecting seeds === Good coffee cannot be made from poorly harvested coffee cherries. Only large and fully ripe berries from disease-free, pest-free and high-yielding trees should be selected. The coffee cherries should be picked when they are bright red all over. At this stage, the bean can be squeezed out from the pulp by applying light pressure between finger and thumb. Small shriveled, lightweight and abnormal berries or dry, over-ripe berries should not be used. === Processing === There are two ways coffee can be processed - dry ('natural') processing and wet ('fermented and washed') processing. Wet processing is regarded as producing a higher quality product. The dry process, also known as unwashed or natural coffee, is the oldest method of processing coffee but it is now limited to regions where water or infrastructure for machinery is scarce.
