Jeremy, Grace, and I visited the local Serrani coffee factory last week at some point, and wanted to share it with you. It was a model of efficiency after Michael's heart: only one employee is required to operate the machines most of the time.
The factory imports raw beans, which it then toasts, blends according to its secret recipes, and packages. Some packaging also requires grinding, of course! We thought we would share some of our experience with you.

After roasting, the beans are air cooled
by placing them on the screen
and blowing air up through the grating. |

This was our host's parents' dining room table when he was a boy. |

| The raw beans are caramel colored, something I'd never thought about. |
Love,
